H.B. No. 3055 amends the Local Government Code by adding Section 271.909, which establishes restrictions on the authority of political subdivisions in Texas regarding the acquisition of real property. Specifically, the new provision states that a political subdivision is prohibited from acquiring real property outside the boundaries of the county in which it is located, regardless of the method of acquisition, which includes gifts, leases, purchases, or eminent domain.

This legislation aims to clarify and limit the jurisdictional reach of political subdivisions in property acquisition, ensuring that such entities operate within their designated geographical boundaries. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
