Annexation on the Special Legislative Agenda

One of the items identified by Gov. Abbott to be addressed in the Special Session is eliminating the ability of municipalities to annex property without the express approval of those being annexed.

No Annexation Without Representation
"Under current law, many Texas cities have the power to take land outside their borders without any consent from those living there. So, if you, like me, decide to live in the county and outside city limits,  your choice may be stripped away if a neighboring city chooses to annex your property. This increases your taxes, regulates your activity, and requires you to pay off city debt you didn't accrue."
A key element in freedom and liberty for all American citizens are private property rights. Let your state senator and representative know that you support the Governor's proposal to stop annexation without explicit voter approval of those being annexed.
