Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to receive certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project and to pledge certain tax revenue for the payment of obligations related to the project.

This bill would allow certain Texas municipalities meeting specific population and location criteria to collect hotel tax revenue and pledge it for financing convention center projects. Qualifying cities include those with populations over 95,000 in designated counties (e.g., bordering Lake Lewisville), containing landmarks like the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, or located in multi-county areas with defined population thresholds. It amends Texas Tax Code Section 351.152 to expand eligibility for these tax revenue mechanisms, applying only to cities meeting the 16 detailed criteria listed in the bill. The policy change would enable these specific municipalities to use hotel tax funds for convention center obligations without altering existing tax rates.
