Recommendations
• Require a vote of affected residents and property owners prior to a municipal annexation. If the vote does not pass, the city should not be permitted to annex the area.
• Review the disannexation process to ensure that previously annexed citizens can enforce municipal promises to extend services to annexed areas, without the necessary involvementand approval of the Texas attorney general.
• Stop cities from wrongfully extending their extraterritorial jurisdiction through impermissible interpretations of their development agreements.
