AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott announced the end of mandatory inspections of all commercial trucks entering Texas from Mexico after getting Mexican governors from four states to accede to his demands that they significantly boost border security.

State troopers will stop inspecting all incoming trucks entering the country following nine days of mandatory safety checks of all tractor-trailers that led to major delays and drew criticism from agricultural and business interests.
