Texas HB4637 regulates subdivision platting in certain counties regarding groundwater use.

Texas HB4637 amends the Local Government Code to establish lot size requirements for subdivisions in specific counties. The bill applies to tracts of land larger than 50 acres, intended for residential or commercial development, and located in counties with populations between 44,000 and 44,500. It mandates that lots must average at least three acres if the water supply is groundwater. An exception allows for variances if the development includes a rainwater collection system. The bill also requires a water availability report for plat applications.
