The bill, 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, it states that a political subdivision may not acquire real property outside the boundaries of the county in which it is located, regardless of the method of acquisition, which includes options such as gift, devise, lease, purchase, or eminent domain.

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