SECTION 1. Section 212.0155(b)(5), Local Government Code,

(5) "Subdivision golf course" means an area of land:
(A) that was originally developed as a golf
course or a country club within a common scheme of development for a
predominantly residential single-family development project;
(B) that [was] at any time in the 12 [seven] years
preceding the date on which a new plat for the land is filed:
(i) was used as a golf course or a country
club;
(ii) was zoned as a community facility;
(iii) benefited from restrictive covenants
on adjoining homeowners; or
(iv) was designated on a recorded plat as a

public street.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to a plat filed on or after the effective date of this Act. A plat
filed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law
in effect on the date the plat was filed, and that law is continued
in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
