Homeowners along Gulf Beach Drive near San Luis Pass in Brazoria County say an eroded section of the road has left them without proper front access to their properties since Hurricane Beryl in 2024. Resident Tereasa Wagonseller said the road was intact when she moved into her home in 2021, but a storm wiped out a section the next year. She said it was later rebuilt as a temporary road that has since sustained notable damage.
Wagonseller said she can reach her driveway by cutting through an empty lot behind her house, and that many neighbors have to park and walk to their homes. She said the road will keep deteriorating and pointed to a crack running along it. "I pay my tax dollars, and I can't have a street with front access to my home," she said.
The Treasure Island MUD District said maintaining the road is its responsibility, but any work must be done with several agencies, including the Texas General Land Office (GLO). The district said nothing immediate has come together among the agencies, calling the situation "a real mess." The GLO and the district both said they are working toward a long-term solution, the Treasure Island MUD-San Luis Pass Revetment Project, which the district said is "years away" from completion.
