History
The NET RMA was established October 28, 2004, by a unanimous vote from the Texas Transportation Commission, containing two founding counties of Smith and Gregg. In June 2006, the NET RMA became the first RMA in Texas to expand beyond its original county members, adding Cherokee, Harrison, Rusk, and Upshur counties, to bring the total number of member counties to six. In July 2007, the RMA expanded once again, when the board passed a resolution accepting six additional counties. The addition of Bowie, Cass, Panola, Titus, Van Zandt, and Wood counties brought the total membership to 12 counties.

“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
