HCR 53 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution congratulating the Canyon High School FFA Ag Issues team for winning first place at the 2024 Texas FFA State Agricultural Issues Forum.

HB 2068: Relating to the governance and territory of the Harris County Flood Control District.

HB 2068 amends the governance structure of the Harris County Flood Control District, clarifying its boundaries and establishing a process for adjacent counties to join the district. The bill specifies that the district’s territory matches Harris County’s boundaries unless modified by specific laws, and adds a new section (Sec. 1C) allowing neighboring counties to petition to join the district via their commissioners court resolution. The district’s governing body, the Harris County Commissioners Court, would approve such petitions after a hearing if the addition benefits the district. This bill directly affects Harris County’s flood management operations and potentially adjacent counties seeking to participate in regional flood control efforts.

SB 1808: Relating to the dissolution of the Rose City Municipal Utility District.

SB 1808 dissolves the Rose City Municipal Utility District, a local government entity that provided utility services in Rose City. The bill requires the district's directors to settle final affairs - including filing dissolution documents with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality - and mandates that the district officially end 60 days after the bill takes effect. The district's directors' terms expire on the dissolution date, and the bill repeals Chapter 7958 of the Special District Local Laws Code, which previously governed such districts. The law takes effect immediately if passed by a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, otherwise.

HB 5648: Relating to the creation of the Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 13; granting a limited power of eminent domain; providing authority to issue bonds; providing authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.

HB 5648 would create Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 13 to manage local water infrastructure. The district would have limited authority to take private land for water projects (like stormwater management), issue bonds for construction, and charge property owners fees or taxes for services. It directly affects landowners within the district boundaries, which include areas for water control, waste handling, and storm drainage improvements. The bill establishes the district’s governing structure and confirms its public purpose under Texas law.

SB 1933: Relating to the appointment and qualifications of the board of directors of the Agua Special Utility District.

SB 1933 changes how the board of directors for the Agua Special Utility District is appointed and qualified. It requires the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to appoint all seven board members instead of the district itself, establishing a formal application process with public notice, standardized forms, and qualifications reviews. To qualify, applicants must reside in the district, meet election eligibility requirements, and demonstrate expertise in water management, public service, finance, or environmental management. The bill also sets term limits (max eight years total, no more than two consecutive terms) and requires TCEQ to fill vacancies within 90 days. This directly affects future board members and the district's governance structure.

SB 2621: Relating to the territory of the Angelina and Neches River Authority.

This bill amends Texas law to explicitly define the geographic boundaries of the Angelina and Neches River Authority (ANRA), specifying that it covers all territory within the Neches River watershed and its tributaries. It lists 17 counties - Anderson, Angelina, Cherokee, Henderson, Houston, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Polk, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Smith, Trinity, and Van Zandt - as part of ANRA’s territory. The bill also clarifies that minor boundary discrepancies or overlaps with other authorities do not invalidate the ANRA’s legal status. This change directly affects residents and entities within these 17 counties, as ANRA manages water resources and infrastructure in the region.
