Texas HB2024 modifies the Local Government Code to restrict the release of certain areas from a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Texas HB2024 amends the Local Government Code to specify areas ineligible for release from a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction. These include areas within five miles of a military base with an active training program, areas voluntarily annexed into a jurisdiction in a rapidly growing county, and areas within 15 miles of a military base in a large county. Other ineligible areas are those designated as industrial districts, subject to strategic partnership agreements, or where release would fragment the municipality's jurisdiction.
