APPENDIX A
City of Sugar Land
Chapter 283 ROW Form
Right of access to use the City’s public rights-of-way under Tex. Loc. Gov’t. Code, Chapter 283, (Chapter
283) applies to wireline Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) certificated telecommunications
providers (CTP).
A CTP is defined in Chapter 283, §283.002 as a person who has been issued a certificate by the Texas
Public Utility Commission to offer local exchange telephone service or a person who provides voice
service.
A “local telephone exchange” service is defined in Chapter 283, §283.002 and in Tex. Util.
Code, §51.002 as telecommunications service provided within an exchange to establish
connections between customer premises within the exchange.
1
“Voice service” is defined in Chapter 283, §283.002 as voice communication services
provided through wireline facilities located at least part in the ROW. The term does not
include voice service provided by a commercial mobile service provider as defined by 47 USC
§ 332.
A CTP is required to count and report its “access lines”, and compensate each municipality in accordance
with the access lines rates as adopted by the PUC, as revised annually by an inflation factor.
“Access line” is defined by Chapter 283, §283.002 (1), and in PUC Rules, as being each switched
transmission path “physically within the public rights-of-way”, each private line termination point of a
non-switched circuit “located within the public rights-of-way”, resulting in three categories of access
lines: residential switched, business switched (including PBX type services) and private/dedicated point-
to-point data services, that terminate at a customer’s premises, i.e., a retail end-user (and excluding
interoffice transport lines that do not terminate at an end-user’s premises, as described in PUC Rules,
P.U.C. Subst. R. 26.461(c)(1)(B), but are used to provide landline/wireline local exchange telephone
services or other Chapter 283 defined access line services, P.U.C. Subst. R. 26.461(d), of “voice”, data, or
private landline/wireline services).
2
Chapter 283, and the PUC Rule definitions describe a landline based telecommunications service that has
physical facilities within the rights-of-ways extending to the retail end users.
If a wireline CTP complies with Chapter 283, i.e. files quarterly access line reports to the PUC and
compensates each municipality access line fees based on those reports, it is allowed to place its facilities
within the local public rights-of-way, although (no-cost) permits can still be required.

Chapter 283, § 283.052. EFFECT OF PAYMENT OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FEES TO MUNICIPALITY. (a) a [CTP] that complies
with this chapter and commission orders issued under this chapter: (1) may erect poles or construct conduit, cable, switches, and
related appurtenances and facilities and excavate within a public right-of-way to provide telecommunications service; and (2) is
not subject to municipal franchise requirements….”; Chapter 283, § 283.056 (b) no cost construction permits, consistent with other
like permits, may be required by a city.
