Texas SB1965 restricts the addition of noncontiguous land to certain special districts.

Texas SB1965 amends the Water Code to restrict the addition of noncontiguous land to certain special districts. The bill specifies that a district may not add noncontiguous land if it is located more than 200 feet from the district's boundaries at the time of the proposed addition. This restriction takes precedence over prior statutory enactments. Additionally, the bill mandates that districts provide notice of annexation hearings by certified mail at least 14 days before the hearing to landowners and municipalities whose boundaries are adjacent to the proposed annexed area.
