TX Attorney General Request. Annexation. Fine Owners who vote no?

Posted byadmin

Requestor: Senator Donna Campbell

Question for the Atrorney General to Answer:  

  1. Whether it is permissible for a city to impose fees and fines on an unincorporated area within the city’s extra-territorial jurisdiction within five miles of a military base as part of the regulations suggested by a Joint Land Use Study?

  2. Whether San Antonio’s proposed annexation ballot language articulated below meets the standard of definiteness and certainty set forth by the Texas Supreme Court in Reynolds Land &Cattle Co. v. McCabe, 12 S.W. 165 (Tex.1888)?

What’s really going on? Does SB 6 (2017  85(1) | TX ) use of “land use regulations” mean that fines can be imposed?
