House Bill 2902 amends the Local Government Code to authorize a municipality to expand its extraterritorial jurisdiction to include an area that is located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of another municipality under a written agreement between the two municipalities. The bill requires a municipality that meets certain criteria, including that at least two-thirds of the residents reside within a gated community, to release an area from its extraterritorial jurisdiction after receiving a petition requesting such a release signed by at least 80 percent of the owners of real property located in the area.
