Relating to municipal release of extraterritorial jurisdiction and disannexation involving certain areas.
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 2776 would allow a majority of the registered voters in an area of a municipality's ETJ and that is subject to a legal determination that the municipality failed to provide or agree to provide adequate services to the area, to petition the municipality to release the area from the municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
This bill would also allow a majority of registered voters in a real estate subdivision to petition to disannex their real estate subdivision under certain circumstances.
Texas Action supports HB 2776 as it allows a greater degree of self determination thus increasing individual liberty and limiting government.
