HB 802 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the approval of beach access and use plans by the commissioner of the General Land Office.

HB 802 requires local governments (cities and counties) managing coastal beaches to submit proposed access and use plans to the Texas General Land Office commissioner for review. The commissioner must approve, partially approve, or deny plans within 90 days, providing specific written objections and suggested changes for denials or partial approvals. If partially approved, local governments can resubmit only the unapproved portions for further review under revised rules. This bill streamlines the approval process by adding clear timelines, requiring detailed feedback on denials, and establishing a formal mechanism for partial approvals under Section 61.0151 of the Natural Resources Code.
