Relating to removal of territory from certain emergency services districts.

SB 3040 allows emergency services districts in Texas to remove territory from their boundaries upon request by qualifying municipalities. It directly affects cities with populations between 10,000-19,000 located in counties with 1-1.5 million residents, where the requested territory is within the city’s corporate limits. The bill requires district boards to remove such territory if all three population criteria are met. This is a procedural change to the Health and Safety Code governing district boundaries, not a substantive policy shift. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
