Gov. Greg Abbott and Gov. Samuel Alejandro Garca Seplveda of Nuevo León announced an agreement Wednesday to help ease commercial traffic at the Laredo-Colombia bridge, one of at least four international ports of entry slowed since Abbott ordered Texas state troopers to inspect cargo more thoroughly.

So long as Nuevo León has checkpoints along its 9-mile border with Texas, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers will stop inspecting commercial trucks on the Laredo–Colombia Solidarity International Bridge. Protests at border crossings and fears of food shortages will not stop Texas from inspecting trucks from the other three Mexican states that border Texas.

“If Nuevo León can guarantee security, technology, checkpoints, and patrol the border to help Texas, we will do it,” Garca Seplveda said.
