HB 411 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the repeal of the prohibition against certain municipal or county regulation of the rental or leasing of housing accommodations.

HB 411 removes a state law that previously prevented cities and counties from creating their own rules for rental housing. This would allow local governments to establish their own regulations on issues like security deposits, lease terms, or tenant protections. The bill directly affects municipalities seeking to address housing needs, as well as landlords and renters subject to local policies. Currently pending in committee with no vote taken, the bill has not yet become law.
