House Bill 1113 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to add a chapter relating to the Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 194, which was created nonlegislatively under general law provisions of the Water Code. The bill grants the district the power to undertake certain road projects, subject to the approval of the Texas Transportation Commission and each municipality or county involved in the maintenance and operation of the road, and restricts the district's use of eminent domain to sites within the district's boundaries. The bill authorizes the district to issue bonds and other obligations for a road project with the approval of two-thirds of district voters voting in an election, and prohibits the total principal amount of bonds or other obligations from exceeding one-fourth of the assessed value of the real property in the district.
