Texas HB1633 amends the Water Code to specify criteria for groundwater conservation districts when granting or denying water permits or amendments. The bill outlines that districts must consider whether the proposed water use is dedicated to a beneficial use, consistent with the district's approved management plan, and whether it unreasonably affects existing water resources or permit holders. Additionally, if the well is in the Hill Country Priority Groundwater Management Area, the use must enhance the landscape.
