Bio:
Glenn Allbritton, P.E., was appointed district engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation’s Houston District on Dec. 1, 2024, marking an important leadership transition for one of Texas' busiest transportation hubs. With more than 26 years of experience, Allbritton takes on this role at a critical time for one of the state’s most dynamic regions.

Allbritton’s career is marked by strong leadership in various capacities within TxDOT. Most recently, he served as district engineer for the Abilene District, where he oversaw all transportation operations, including design, construction, traffic management, and emergency response. His leadership during statewide disaster responses, such as Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Beryl, highlights his ability to manage complex situations and prepare for the challenges of the Houston District.

Focused on innovation, Allbritton spearheaded the creation of the first Rural Planning Organization (RPO) for the Abilene area – a collaborative effort bringing together regional stakeholders to address transportation needs. This experience will be invaluable as he leads the Houston District, known for its rapid population growth, expansive roadway network, and ambitious infrastructure projects.

A licensed professional engineer since 2009, Allbritton graduated from Midwestern State University. In his new role, he will oversee the Houston District’s extensive transportation network, which includes nearly 12,000 lane miles and serves over 7 million residents.
