SB 6 requires cities in counties with populations above 125,000 to get voter approval for annexation of areas where more than 200 people live.
For annexation areas with fewer than 200 residents, cities would have to circulate a petition and get signatures from more than half of the property owners.
SB6 was authored by Senators Campbell, Buckingham and Schwertner.
Campbell said SB 6 will provide for a more democratic process and give citizens the right to vote on whether they are annexed.
Campbell said the current law is taxation without representation, and we fought a war over that issue. Under this proposed law, those being annexed will have a vote to be or not to be annexed.
This a key element in the Govenor's plan to return freedom and liberty directly to the citizens of Texas.
