H.B. No. 5657 amends the boundaries of the Driftwood Conservation District in Hays County, Texas, by providing detailed legal descriptions of several tracts of land totaling approximately 394.112 acres, 128.166 acres, and 0.1793 acres, among others. The bill includes precise metes and bounds for these tracts, ensuring clarity in the district's geographical limits and facilitating land use and management. Additionally, it validates all governmental acts, elections, and proceedings of the Driftwood Conservation District that occurred prior to the bill's effective date, with certain exceptions for ongoing litigation or previously invalidated matters.
The bill also introduces new legal language that specifies the boundaries and measurements of various tracts, including a 65.3766-acre tract and an 81.7176-acre tract, with detailed coordinates and directions for surveying purposes. It emphasizes the use of markers such as iron rods and plastic caps to establish property lines and corners. The bill aims to formalize these legal descriptions for administrative purposes, ensuring clarity in property ownership and development within the specified area. The Act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if not passed.
