Full Breakdown

Pflugerville cannot run red-light cameras. Section 707.020 of the Texas Transportation Code states that, notwithstanding any other law, a local authority may not implement or operate a photographic traffic signal enforcement system on any highway or street under its jurisdiction. The Legislature added the section through HB 1631 (86th Legislature) and it took effect June 2, 2019, ending automated red-light enforcement statewide. The statute names the Texas Attorney General as enforcer of the prohibition. No camera in Pflugerville can lawfully generate a citation for running a red light; enforcement of red-light violations here happens only through a Pflugerville police officer or Travis County deputy witnessing the offense.

Violations & Fines

The city may not issue camera-based red-light citations. The Texas Attorney General enforces the prohibition against any local authority that operates such a system; a mailed camera notice carries no legal force.
