The Railroad Commission of Texas had regulatory power of the commercial transportation of persons and property on state highways during the period covered by these records. Motor transportation activities were handled by the Motor Transportation Division. These records consist of the testimony at hearings held by the Motor Transportation Division to determine if certificates should be granted to allow applicants to operate commercial vehicles on public highways. Dating 1926-1956, the majority of the records are from 1930 to 1939. Testimony was taken from the applicant, other common carriers, and the public about the proposed route, traffic conditions in the area, financial status of the applicant, and competition with existing service. The findings were reported to the Railroad Commission for final approval.
