This bill amends the Government Code to impose limitations on the exercise of eminent domain by political subdivisions in Texas. Specifically, it prohibits these subdivisions from taking private property located outside their own boundaries. The heading of Subchapter A, Chapter 2206 is revised to reflect this change, now emphasizing limitations on the purpose, use, and location of property acquired through eminent domain.

Additionally, a new section, 2206.003, is added to explicitly state that political subdivisions cannot utilize eminent domain to acquire property beyond their borders. The provisions of this new section will apply only to condemnation petitions filed after the bill's effective date, ensuring that any petitions filed prior will be governed by the existing law. The bill is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
