KHOU.com staff report

A big protest is planned for Monday afternoon, ahead of the latest public hearing on the proposed statewide tollway.

Lots of landowners are upset about the state’s plan to build a tollway from Mexico to northeast Texas.

There have already been several town hall meetings about the Trans-Texas Corridor.

Most of the people who have spoken out about the plan say it will put them out of business.

But state officials argue the tollway is necessary to keep up with the growing population in Texas.

Monday’s meeting is being held in Huntsville.

It starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Walker County Fairgrounds.

Several farmers and ranchers promise to be there to hold their protest.
