Relating to disannexation of certain areas of a municipality for failure to provide services.

HB 2494 allows residents in annexed areas to petition their city council to revert land back to unincorporated status if the municipality fails to provide basic services (like water or roads) as required by law. It specifically applies to areas annexed under certain Texas codes, requiring cities to act within 60 days of a valid petition or face potential court-ordered disannexation. If a court rules in favor of the petitioners, the city must disannex the area and pay the residents' legal fees. The bill establishes a clear process for residents to seek relief when cities neglect service obligations, without specifying which services must be provided.
