Texas HB583 regulates fence construction near certain reservoirs in counties with specific population and reservoir capacity criteria.

Texas HB583 amends the Local Government Code to regulate fences near certain reservoirs. This applies to counties with a population under 52,000 and reservoirs with a conservation capacity over 250,000 acre-feet, partially located in another similarly sized county. The county's commissioners court must prohibit fence construction beyond the reservoir's water line at conservation capacity. Counties can seek injunctions to enforce these orders and recover legal fees if successful.
