   1-15        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-16        SECTION 1.  Subchapter G, Chapter 43, Local Government Code,
   1-17  is amended by adding Section 43.147 to read as follows:
   1-18        Sec. 43.147.  WIDTH REQUIREMENT FOR DISANNEXATION.  (a)  A
   1-19  municipality disannexing a road or highway shall also disannex a
   1-20  strip of area that is equal in size to the minimum area that the
   1-21  municipality is required to annex in order to comply with the width
   1-22  requirements of Section 43.054.
   1-23        (b)  The strip of area to be disannexed must:
   1-24              (1)  be adjacent to either side of the road or highway;
   1-25  and
   1-26              (2)  follow the course of the road or highway.
   1-27        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995, and
   1-28  applies only to an area that is disannexed on or after the
   1-29  effective date of this Act.  A disannexation occurring before the
   1-30  effective date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed
   1-31  immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that law is
   1-32  continued in effect for that purpose.
   1-33        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-34  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-35  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-36  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-37  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
