Texas HB5454 mandates permits for industrial projects and offensive land uses in unincorporated county areas.

Texas HB5454 amends the Local Government Code to establish a permitting process for industrial projects and offensive land uses in unincorporated county areas. It defines "alternative energy facility" as wind, solar power, or battery storage facilities, and "industrial project" as electric generating, alternative energy, or manufacturing facilities. "Offensive land use" includes concrete plants, landfills, and wrecking yards. A permit is required for these projects, with the commissioners court considering compatibility, impact on public health and infrastructure, and public comment.
