HB 4950 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to compliance of certain aeronautics structures with federal law.

HB 4950 requires owners of aeronautics structures taller than 200 feet (such as communication towers or tall buildings) to comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations. This bill directly affects developers, operators, and owners of such structures by mandating adherence to federal standards. The key provision amends Texas law to explicitly require this federal compliance for structures exceeding the 200-foot height threshold.
