HB 3433 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to fees assessed by the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District.

HB 3433 sets limits on fees charged by the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District for water use. It caps agricultural fees at 20% of municipal rates and establishes specific fee amounts: $1 per acre-foot for crop irrigation and 17 cents per thousand gallons for other agricultural uses. The bill directly affects farmers and ranchers in the district who withdraw groundwater for irrigation or livestock. It amends existing law to standardize these fee structures under Texas Water Code provisions. The bill does not change current fee rates but provides clear, capped rates for future assessments.
