Brazoria County
Where Richwood sits
Richwood is in Brazoria County, and the census counts 4,791 people here, at 1,073 per square mile, with a median age of 35.6 years.
What we know about Richwood is what the census records and what Texas law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
Texas weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. Texas sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In Texas the gross weight limit is 80,000 lb (Tex. Transp. Code § 621.101).
In Texas the single axle weight limit is 20,000 lb (§ 621.101).
In Texas the tandem axle weight limit is 34,000 lb (§ 621.101).
So what leaves Richwood
That rule meets 4,791 people in Richwood, Brazoria County, at a household median around $88,380 and a density of 1,073 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
