SB 2076 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the view of the State Capitol.

SB 2076 defines four specific geographic corridors surrounding the Texas State Capitol to preserve unobstructed views. The bill amends the Government Code to establish precise boundaries for the South Mall, Waterloo Park, Wooldridge Park, and French Legation corridors using detailed survey coordinates and elevation points. These definitions create legally recognized zones where new construction or modifications must maintain the Capitol's visual integrity. As a procedural definitional bill, it does not impose new restrictions but provides clear boundaries for future land-use decisions affecting Capitol views.
