Texas SB2136 allows dual certification for water or sewer service in incorporated or annexed areas by certain populous municipalities.

Texas SB2136 amends the Water Code to allow the most populous municipality in a county on an international border with a population over 800,000 and containing at least two municipalities each with a population of 100,000 or more to seek dual certification for water or sewer service. This applies to areas annexed or incorporated by the municipality. The municipality must notify a retail public utility of its intent to seek dual certification and may enter into an agreement for the purchase of utility facilities or property.
