Austin's red light cameras have been turned off.

City officials have confirmed that as of Sunday, the day after Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 1631, any red light violations caught via cameras will no longer be ticketed.

"The City has directed our vendor to cease red light camera enforcement," a city spokesperson said in an emailed statement Tuesday. “Any traffic ticket photos taken after June 1, 2019, shall be null and void."

In a separate statement, the city also said that all unresolved cases will be administratively terminated and that all collection efforts and administrative actions will be halted.

Austin operated 10 red light cameras and issued more than 126,000 fines, which yielded more than $7 million in revenue since 2008, city officials said. Last year’s revenue totaled more than $750,000.

Lawmakers stipulated that cities could continue enforcement if they had contracts that didn't include an exemption for action by the Legislature disallowing their use. Austin had a termination plan in its contract with red light camera operator Redflex that let the city avoid a termination penalty. Austin will pay Redflex up until the end of May, according to the city’s contract.

The new law is the first bill conservative firebrand Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford, has passed in his seven years in the Legislature.

Lawmakers have long tried to ban the controversial red light cameras that have sprouted up across Texas, calling them unconstitutional.

“Red light cameras violate the right to due process by creating a presumption that the registered owner of the car committed a violation,” said Sen. Bob Hall, R-Edgewood, at a Senate hearing on the bill.

Last session, a similar bill, Senate Bill 88, cleared the Senate but died in the House. In 2015, there was not much political appetite for the legislation either.

Supporters of the cameras have said the devices decrease certain types of fatal crashes and bring in significant revenues, half of which goes to cities for traffic and public safety programs while the other half goes to the state for hospital trauma centers.

Round Rock removed its six red light cameras in 2016, citing an increasing number of unpaid violations and decreasing revenues from the program. Other cities, like Cedar Park and San Marcos, never used the technology.
