(Omar Ornelas / Associated Press) [Abbott says inspections that led to snarled border traffic will continue, but some improvement seen]( Texas Gov.

But despite his plan to immediately ease inspections at just one crossing, eyewitness reports indicated that commercial traffic was resuming a normal flow across other international bridges into Laredo and Pharr. Abbott said at a Wednesday news conference that the extra scrutiny would immediately end at the one little-traveled crossing into Nuevo Leon in exchange for beefed up patrols and checkpoints on the Mexican side of the border.
