House Bill 536 amends the Local Government Code to create an exception to the requirement that a municipality must give its written consent before its extraterritorial jurisdiction may be reduced for an annexation of an area in a water or sewer district that is wholly or partly in the overlapping extraterritorial jurisdiction of two or more municipalities. The bill authorizes any of the municipalities to annex, without the written consent of the others, an area that contains less than 100 acres if that municipality, before June 1, 2005, annexed more than 50 percent of the original territory of the district and if, after completion of the annexation, the entire water or sewer district would be contained in the annexing municipality.
