A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the application of certain requirements affecting
certain subdivision golf courses.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 212.0155(a), Local Government Code, is
amended to read as follows:
(a) This section applies to land located wholly or partly in
the corporate boundaries of a municipality if the municipality:
(1) has a population of more than 50,000; and
(2) is located wholly or partly in [a county]:
(A) a county with a population of more than three
million; [or]
(B) a county with a population of more than
275,000 that is adjacent to a county with a population of more than
three million; or
(C) a county with a population of more than 1.4
million:
(i) in which two or more municipalities
with a population of 300,000 or more are located; and
(ii) that is adjacent to a county with a
population of more than two million.
SECTION 2. (a) Notwithstanding Chapter 245, Local
Government Code, the change in law made by Section 212.0155, Local
Government Code, as amended by this Act, applies to approval of a
plat filed on or after the effective date of this Act or before the
effective date of this Act if the approval of a plat filed before
the effective date of this Act is not final. A plat filed and
approved before the effective date of this Act is governed by the
law in effect immediately before that date, and that law is
continued in effect for that purpose.

to land that is the subject of a lawsuit filed before the effective
date of this Act on the date the decision in that lawsuit becomes
final or the suit is otherwise terminated.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the
legislative session.
