House Bill 2914 amends the Water Code to authorize the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to adopt an order dissolving an applicable water district without conducting a hearing if it receives a petition from the owners of the majority in value of the land in the district or from the district's board of directors. The bill, however, requires TCEQ to hold a hearing on the dissolution if a landowner files with TCEQ a written objection to the dissolution. The bill prohibits a district from being dissolved under certain conditions. The bill removes the required hearing for the conversion of a conservation and reclamation district to a municipal utility district.
