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.
