The bill, S.B. No. 2385, amends the definition of "residential subdivision" within the Transportation Code to clarify the criteria for such subdivisions in relation to the overnight parking of commercial motor vehicles. The new definition specifies that a residential subdivision is located in a county with a population greater than 220,000 or in a county with a population less than 75,000 that is adjacent to three counties with populations exceeding 450,000. Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement that a plat must be recorded in the county real property records and that the majority of lots must be subject to deed restrictions limiting them to residential use.

The bill also includes deletions from the previous definition, specifically removing the original designation of subdivisions and replacing it with the new criteria. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
