Texas HB3556 requires notice to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for structures over 500 feet in counties near National Wildlife Refuges.

Texas HB3556 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to require notice to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for any proposed structure taller than 500 feet in counties with a population under 500,000 that border the Gulf of Mexico and contain a National Wildlife Refuge, or are adjacent to such counties. The notice must be provided at least 90 days before construction. The department can then evaluate the impact on wildlife and, if necessary, seek relief to limit or enjoin construction within 90 days. If the department takes no action, the person may proceed with construction.
