Texas HB2384 modifies county regulations on subdivision plats, exempting certain agricultural and large-lot subdivisions from platting requirements.

Texas HB2384 amends the Local Government Code to exempt landowners from preparing subdivision plats under certain conditions. Specifically, it exempts landowners who divide their land into two or more parts for agricultural use or for lots larger than 10 acres, provided they do not lay out public spaces like streets or parks. Additionally, it allows commissioners courts in priority groundwater management areas to adopt water availability requirements for areas needing platting if necessary to prevent water overuse. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
