Gov. Greg Abbott announced two more deals with Mexican governors that will halt the new commercial vehicle inspections at international bridges that have bogged down border commerce.

Abbott and Chihuahua Gov. María Eugenia Campos Galván announced their agreement Thursday evening. Hours later, Abbott's office announced an agreement with Coahuila Gov. Miguel Ángel Riquelme Solís. Chihuahua has a major border crossing at Ciudad Juárez, across the Rio Grande from El Paso. Coahuila shares international bridges with Del Rio and Eagle Pass.

Abbott said state troopers will continue inspecting every commercial truck entering Texas from Tamaulipas, which shares border crossings with McAllen and Brownsville.

As part of one of the agreements, Chihuahua will continue to implement security measures that Campos Galván started when she came into office in 2021. In a news conference with Abbott in Austin, Campos Galván called the agreement a “win-win situation.” Abbott called Campos Galván’s security plan as “the best border security plan that I’ve seen from any governor from Mexico.”
