SB 2622 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to use certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project.

SB 2622 amends Texas Tax Code to allow specific municipalities to use hotel and convention center tax revenue for related projects. It defines eligibility for 27 distinct cities based on detailed criteria, including population thresholds (e.g., 95,000+ residents), geographic features (e.g., bordering specific lakes or rivers), and existing infrastructure (e.g., convention center plans or museums). The bill enables these qualifying cities to pledge the tax revenue to cover project costs without requiring new taxes. This is a procedural tax code adjustment affecting only the listed municipalities, not creating new revenue streams.
