Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton lays out 2 ways McKinney’s proposed annexation plan isn’t lawful:
- the annexation notice violates the Texas Local Government Code and the Open Meetings Act
- the notice for the Aug. 28 mcKinney City Council meeting violates the Texas Local Government Code and the Open Meetings Act
How the notices violate the Open Meetings Act and Local Government Code:
- do not provide a description of the property the city plans to annex
- the council’s agenda item was unclear that the city intended to give city staff permission to annex specific properties, rather than providing guidance on annexation policies
