Compliance Analysis

Key implementation requirements and action items for compliance with this legislation

Implementation Timeline

Effective Date: June 20, 2025 (Immediate).
Compliance Deadline: Immediate. "Notice to Purchaser" disclosures must be updated before any property transfer occurs. A petition for temporary directors must be filed to activate the District.
Agency Rulemaking: No new state rulemaking is required; however, the District itself must adopt internal orders and secure a "Consent Ordinance" from the local municipality (likely Richmond or Houston) before holding a confirmation election.

Immediate Action Plan

1. Map Verification: Confirm if your assets fall within the metes and bounds of the 1,617 acres defined in Section 2 of the Bill.
2. Update Disclosures: Halt any pending closings until the § 49.452 Notice to Purchaser is added to the contract.
3. File Petition: Submit the request for appointment of temporary directors to the TCEQ Districts Section immediately.
4. Negotiate Consent: Initiate contact with the relevant City Planning Department to secure the Municipal Consent Ordinance.
5. Secure Insurance: Obtain Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance and statutory bonds ($10,000) for the incoming Board members.

Operational Changes Required

Contracts

Real Estate Sales Contracts: You must immediately append the statutory "Notice to Purchaser" (Texas Water Code § 49.452) to all sales contracts within the District. Failure to do so allows buyers to terminate contracts and sue for damages.
Reimbursement Agreements: Developers must draft and execute agreements with the District to define how infrastructure costs will be repaid via future bond proceeds.
Construction Contracts: Infrastructure work intended for MUD reimbursement must now adhere to public bidding statutes (Texas Water Code Ch. 49) and potentially prevailing wage requirements mandated by the consenting municipality.

Hiring/Training

Board Appointments: You must identify and vet five (5) qualified individuals to serve as temporary directors and file a petition with the TCEQ for their appointment.
Professional Services: Retain specialized legal counsel and a bond engineer immediately to navigate the TCEQ creation audit and municipal consent negotiation.
Sales Staff Training: Sales teams must be trained to explain the new tax overlay and MUD structure to potential buyers to ensure transparency and compliance.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

TCEQ Filings: File the "Petition for Appointment of Temporary Directors" immediately.
Election Orders: The Board must adopt and record orders calling for a confirmation election (to approve the District, directors, and bond authorization).
Meeting Minutes: The District is a public entity; all Board meetings must comply with the Texas Open Meetings Act, requiring posted agendas and recorded minutes.

Fees & Costs

Election Costs: The developer must front the cost of the confirmation election (approx. $15k-$30k), reimbursable later via bond proceeds.
Bond Issuance Costs: Budget for legal, engineering, and financial advisory fees associated with future bond applications (usually 2-3% of bond par value).
New Tax Liability: Prepare for a new ad valorem tax levy (Operations & Maintenance + Debt Service) likely commencing in the 2026 tax year, subject to voter approval.

Strategic Ambiguities & Considerations

Municipal Consent Conditions: The law requires compliance with the consenting municipality's ordinance (Sec. 8018A.0305). Cities often use this leverage to impose stricter-than-county engineering standards or annexation agreements. Expect the city to dictate development standards, not just the county.
Road Powers: While the District has road powers, projects outside the municipality's corporate limits must meet county standards; projects inside must meet city standards. If the tract straddles jurisdictions, conflicting engineering requirements may arise.
Eminent Domain Scope: The "limited" eminent domain power allows condemnation for utilities and roads but excludes recreational facilities. Verify specific project alignments to ensure they fall within authorized condemnation purposes.
