Gov. Rick Perry reappointed Jeff Austin III as chair of the Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority, the governor's office said Friday.
Austin's term will expire Feb. 1, 2008. Regional mobility authorities were created by the Texas Legislature as a way to allow local communities to forge regional transportation priorities.
The Northeast Texas RMA serves Smith and Gregg counties and is in the process of expanding. It has successfully lobbied the Texas Department of Transportation to accelerate the Loop 49 project by making it a toll road.
Austin is vice chairman and a member of the executive committee and board of directors of Austin Bank.
