H.B. No. 1659 |
|
||
relating to the amendment of a residential subdivision's | ||
declaration to affect certain types of property located in the | ||
subdivision. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 209.0041, Property Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (d-1) to read as follows: | ||
(d-1) This section does not apply to an amendment of a | ||
declaration if the amendment would affect a portion of a | ||
subdivision that is zoned for or that contains, or previously | ||
contained as specifically allowed under the declaration, a | ||
commercial structure, an industrial structure, an apartment | ||
complex, or a condominium as defined by Section 81.002 or 82.003. | ||
For purposes of this subsection, "apartment complex" means two or | ||
more dwellings in one or more buildings that are owned by the same | ||
owner, located on the same lot or tract, and managed by the same | ||
owner, agent, or management company. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 209.0041(d-1), Property Code, as added | ||
by this Act, applies only to a vote to amend a declaration held on or | ||
after the effective date of this Act. A vote to amend a declaration | ||
held before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law as | ||
it existed immediately before that date, and that law is continued | ||
in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2021. | ||
