SB 290 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to notice to property owners regarding certain stationary LP-gas installations.

Texas Senate Bill 290 requires applicants for large stationary LP-gas installations (with an aggregate water capacity of 10,000 gallons or more) to mail written notice to all property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site. The notice must be sent via registered/certified mail with proof of delivery, and applicants must retain records of this proof. This applies only to applications filed with the Railroad Commission of Texas on or after the bill’s effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate effect). The bill directly affects property owners near proposed installations by mandating advance notification of such projects.
