Texas HB369 restricts municipalities from regulating the number of dwellings on certain residential lots.

Texas HB369 amends the Local Government Code to restrict municipalities from adopting or enforcing ordinances or regulations that allow more than one single-family dwelling on lots zoned for single-family dwellings as of September 1, 2023, and located in subdivisions with at least one developed lot. Exceptions apply if the municipality notifies nearby single-family dwelling owners and obtains their consent. The bill also amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to clarify that individuals can sue municipalities or counties for injuries resulting from certain zoning violations.
