Relating to the authority of a Type A or Type B general-law municipality to change to a Type C general-law municipality.

HB 303 amends Texas law to allow Type A municipalities (with 4,999 or fewer residents) and Type B municipalities (with 999 or fewer residents) that have 500 or fewer inhabitants to change their classification to Type C general-law municipalities. The bill lowers the population threshold from "501 to" to "4,999 or fewer" for Type A and "999 or fewer" for Type B, making it easier for very small towns to transition. This change directly affects small municipalities seeking a different governance structure under Texas general-law classifications. The bill became effective immediately on May 29, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
