HB 4286 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the territory of the Angelina and Neches River Authority.

HB 4286 updates the territorial boundaries of the Angelina and Neches River Authority to explicitly include 17 specific East Texas counties: Anderson, Angelina, Cherokee, Henderson, Houston, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Polk, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Smith, Trinity, and Van Zandt. The bill replaces a prior legal description with a direct list of these counties, clarifying which areas fall under the authority's jurisdiction for water management. It does not alter the authority's functions or create new policies, only formally defining its geographic scope. This procedural change directly affects the 17 counties named and the river authority's administrative boundaries.
