Texas SB844 modifies procedures for changing zoning regulations and district boundaries, including protest requirements and enforcement actions.

Texas SB844 amends the Local Government Code to establish procedures for changes to zoning regulations and district boundaries. It requires a written protest signed by at least 60% of the owners of affected land to challenge certain proposed changes. If a change is protested, it must receive a three-fourths majority vote if protesting owners control the area covered by the change, or a simple majority if protesting owners control adjoining land. The bill also allows specific individuals and organizations to bring actions to compel municipalities to adopt certain changes.
