HB 4682 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the use of municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue and certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project by certain municipalities.

HB 4682 allows specific Texas municipalities to use hotel occupancy tax revenue for tourism-related infrastructure. It applies only to cities meeting strict population and location criteria (e.g., cities with over 100,000 residents in high-population counties or near federal space centers). The bill permits funding for constructing, maintaining, or operating facilities like convention centers, coliseums, hotels, or resorts owned by the municipality or a nonprofit partner. This expands existing rules by explicitly including tourism promotion as a qualifying purpose for these tax revenues. The change affects only designated cities under defined population and geographic thresholds.
