House Bill 1857 amends the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation and a county to enter into an agreement to identify future transportation corridors within the county. The bill requires the corridors identified in the agreement to be derived from certain existing transportation plans and requires the department to publish notice of an agreement in accordance with certain requirements. The bill amends the Local Government Code to authorize the commissioners court of a county to take certain actions in connection with a plat required under the law if all or part of a subdivision for which a plat is required is located within a future transportation corridor identified in an agreement. The bill provides that a purchase contract or lease between the subdivider and a purchaser or lessee of land in the subdivision must contain a conspicuous statement relating to the land's location within the alignment of a future transportation corridor project.
