Relating to the authority of a political subdivision to acquire real property.

HB 3055 would prohibit political subdivisions (such as cities, counties, or special districts) from acquiring real property outside their county's boundaries through any method, including purchase, lease, gift, or eminent domain. The bill specifically restricts local governments from expanding land holdings beyond their current county jurisdiction, with no exceptions unless other laws explicitly permit it. This change would take effect on September 1, 2025, and directly affects all local governments in Texas seeking to acquire property outside their county lines. The bill does not alter existing authority for property within a subdivision's county boundaries.
