Texas SB1708 amends county platting requirements for areas under municipal extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Texas SB1708 modifies the Local Government Code to clarify that county platting requirements in areas under municipal extraterritorial jurisdiction are subject to any limitations set by agreements under Sections 242.001 or 242.002. Additionally, it ensures that model subdivision rules under the Water Code do not override exceptions to platting requirements for these areas. The act takes effect immediately if approved by two-thirds of the members in both legislative houses, otherwise it becomes effective September 1, 2025.
