The bill establishes the Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 13, granting it limited powers such as the ability to exercise eminent domain, issue bonds, and impose assessments, fees, and taxes. It introduces new legal language by adding Chapter 9095 to the Special District Local Laws Code, which details the governance structure of the district, including a board of five elected directors serving staggered four-year terms. The bill requires temporary directors to hold an election to confirm the district's creation and elect permanent directors, contingent upon municipal consent.

Additionally, the bill specifies the district's responsibilities, including managing water control projects, constructing and maintaining roads, and ensuring compliance with municipal regulations. It includes a new provision, section 9095.0306, which explicitly states that the district may not exercise the power of eminent domain, thereby limiting its authority regarding property acquisition. The bill also outlines the legal descriptions and boundaries of various tracts of land conveyed to entities such as Tri Pointe Homes Texas, Inc. and TPHTL Hatcher, LLC, ensuring clarity for future property management and development. The bill will take effect immediately with a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if not passed.
