Relating to repealing the authority to create a school district by detachment of territory from an existing school district.

HB 5162 repeals the legal authority in Texas law that allowed creating new school districts by detaching territory from an existing district. This change directly affects how new school districts can be formed, removing a specific process for splitting territory. The bill eliminates Subchapter C of Chapter 13 in the Education Code, which previously governed this detachment method. It does not create new policies but modifies the procedural framework for school district establishment. The repeal takes effect immediately if approved by a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, if not.
