HB 4646 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to transfer of the ownership rights of the Woodlawn Water Supply Corporation to the Angelina and Neches River Authority.

HB 4646 transfers ownership of the Woodlawn Water Supply Corporation - including all its assets, debts, infrastructure, and its water utility license - to the Angelina and Neches River Authority. The bill requires the corporation to transfer all real property, water systems, and contractual rights to the Authority via a formal contract, and to notify environmental and utility regulators of the change. Within 30 days of the transfer, the corporation must begin dissolving, ending its separate legal existence. This directly affects Woodlawn’s operations and customers, consolidating water service under a regional authority without requiring new permits or public hearings.
