Texas SB790 allows the Public Utility Commission to create a simplified complaint process for tenant-owner disputes over water or wastewater bills.

Texas SB790 amends the Water Code to permit the Public Utility Commission to establish a streamlined process for resolving complaints from tenants regarding water or wastewater bills. This simplified procedure would apply to complaints about bills covered under Sections 13.503, 13.5031, or 13.505. Notably, Chapter 2001 of the Government Code, which pertains to administrative procedures, does not apply to the resolution of complaints handled under this new process.
