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

This bill amends Texas law to explicitly define the geographic boundaries of the Angelina and Neches River Authority (ANRA), specifying that it covers all territory within the Neches River watershed and its tributaries. It lists 17 counties - Anderson, Angelina, Cherokee, Henderson, Houston, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Polk, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Smith, Trinity, and Van Zandt - as part of ANRA’s territory. The bill also clarifies that minor boundary discrepancies or overlaps with other authorities do not invalidate the ANRA’s legal status. This change directly affects residents and entities within these 17 counties, as ANRA manages water resources and infrastructure in the region.
