Texas SB2963 allows the attorney general to investigate and take legal action against local governments for law violations.

Texas SB2963 grants the attorney general authority to investigate alleged law violations by local governments, which include municipalities and counties. If the attorney general finds sufficient evidence, they can bring a legal action on behalf of the state against the local government. During the legal proceedings, the comptroller must withhold payments and the local government cannot exceed its no-new-revenue tax rate. If the attorney general wins, the local government faces restrictions on tax rates and state grant funds for five fiscal years and must pay a penalty.
