Summary: The Senate Housing Committee held public hearings on several bills. SB 6237 would require landlords to disclose to new tenants whether a rental property may be in a flood hazard area, that renters’ personal property is not covered by the landlord’s insurance, and that tenants should consider renters and flood insurance; supporters said it addresses a real information gap after recent flooding, while housing groups were generally neutral or supportive but asked for clarifying language and noted there is no specific penalty for non-disclosure. SB 6214 would authorize public corporations, housing authorities, and certain nonprofits to operate land bank authorities for affordable housing, with tax exemptions and priority access to tax-foreclosed property; testimony was largely supportive from local governments, housing authorities, and affordable housing advocates, while one witness opposed it as an unnecessary market intervention and the Department of Revenue flagged the need for clearer definitions to administer the exemptions. SB 6139 would require landlords to keep accepting previously used payment methods and allow partial rent payments during eviction proceedings without those payments reinstating the lease or stopping the unlawful detainer case; the sponsor said it would address recurring court problems where tenants could not make partial payments, while tenant advocates opposed it as accelerating evictions and limiting judicial discretion, and landlord groups said they were concerned about operational and legal clarity but were open to further work. In executive session, the committee took up SB 6091, which would bar real estate brokers from marketing residential property to limited or exclusive buyer groups. The committee adopted a proposed substitute that clarified the bill does not require owners to allow access into a home and removed language tying violations to the Washington Law Against Discrimination. The committee then voted the substitute do pass and sent the bill to Rules. The committee also voted to recommend confirmation of gubernatorial appointments 9278, Pedro Espinoza, and 9279, Diana H. Perez, to the Housing Finance Commission.

Summary: The Senate Housing Committee met on cutoff day and first considered two gubernatorial appointments to the Housing Finance Commission. Aaron T. McGrath and Ann T. Malone each testified about their backgrounds in affordable housing, finance, and related volunteer work, and both were warmly supported by committee members. No votes were taken on the appointments during the hearing portion described. The committee then heard and later advanced several housing-related bills. ESHB 1500 would expand and standardize condominium and HOA resale certificate requirements by adding reserve studies, audits, and governing documents, limiting certain fees, allowing rush charges, and creating enforcement rights; the bill drew support from Realtors and community association representatives, though they raised concerns about third-party processing and attorney fee provisions. EHB 1501 would require associations to respond to certified written inquiries from unit owners within 30 days, allow reasonable rules on frequency and manner of inquiries, and provide attorney fee recovery in enforcement actions; testimony supported the consumer-protection goal but asked for clearer limits and coordination with existing HOA law. EHB 1345 would allow detached accessory dwelling units outside urban growth areas under detailed local standards, water/septic requirements, and code enforcement rules; it received broad support from builders, counties, and housing advocates as a rural housing option. In executive session, the committee adopted amendments and passed several bills out of committee: SB 5470 on detached ADUs outside UGAs, SB 5729 on streamlining affordable housing permitting, SB 6015 on permit-ready residential building plans, SB 6069 on supportive, transitional, and emergency housing, SB 6096 on delayed utility connection fees, SB 6200 on portable cooling devices for tenants, SB 6201 on social housing tax exemptions, SB 6214 on land bank authorities, and SB 6237 on flood-risk disclosures in rental housing. Most were sent either to Rules or Ways and Means, and several members noted ongoing stakeholder negotiations and concerns about implementation, liability, local control, and fiscal impacts.

Summary: The Senate opened with an invocation by Senator Hagenbuch, who asked for wisdom, humility, courage, and guidance in serving Texas and conducting the chamber’s work with integrity and respect. After the prayer, the House messenger reported that the House had passed several congratulatory and commemorative resolutions, including HCR 2 honoring the victims of the July 2025 Hill Country floods, HCR 3 marking the dedication of the Children’s Emergency Relief International George M. Cowden Building in Austin, HCR 4 congratulating Ricky and Anne Lowe on their 47th wedding anniversary, and HCR 5 recognizing Don Sparks of Midland for receiving the 2025 Chief Roughneck Award. Following the House message, the Senate announced a brief recess while awaiting completion of the House calendar. Senator Zaffirini then moved that the Senate stand in recess until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 27, and the motion was adopted without objection.

Summary: The Senate Local Government Committee took executive action on several bills before cutoff. Earlier, the chair announced that Senate Bills 6181, 6154, and 6242 would be removed from the executive calendar. Staff then summarized bills including SB 6211 on real estate excise tax procedures for GMA-planning cities and counties; SB 6234 on sewage grinder pumps, with a proposed substitute narrowing the bill to single-family residences, adding public utility districts, clarifying conditions for installation, and assigning maintenance and repair responsibilities; SB 5633 on subdivision of land, with a proposed substitute and a partial fiscal note showing costs to the Department of Commerce; SB 6291 on extending the time a non-certified individual may inspect on-site wastewater systems under supervision; SB 6274 on street standards and frontage improvements, requiring infrastructure barriers be identified in housing analyses and standards be periodically reviewed; and SB 6309 on regional transit authority permitting and land acquisition, with a proposed substitute allowing earlier permit applications and modifying subdivision-law exemptions, along with a partial fiscal note for Commerce. In executive session, the committee adopted the proposed substitutes for SB 6234, SB 5633, and SB 6309, and passed SB 6211, SB 6234, SB 5633, SB 6291, SB 6274, and SB 6309 out of committee. SB 5633 and SB 6309 were referred to the Ways and Means Committee, while the others were sent to the Rules Committee. One member noted concerns about the fiscal note and public input on SB 5633 before the vote, but the substitute and bill still advanced. All final actions were reported as passed subject to signatures.

Summary: The committee met in special session to hear a series of flood, preparedness, and youth-camp safety bills, with members repeatedly noting that many of the measures were intended as planning, warning, or authority-clarifying bills rather than direct spending bills. House Bill 254 would expand eligibility for the Rural Infrastructure Disaster Recovery Program to include Kerr County and 18 other flood-affected counties by raising the GDP cap and lowering the poverty threshold; it drew no opposition and was left pending. House Bill 68 would direct a study of flood mitigation in flatland areas, especially in the Rio Grande Valley, to develop cost-effective drainage and infrastructure recommendations; local officials and advocates supported it, and it was also left pending. The committee then heard several youth camp bills tied to the recent Hill Country flooding. House Bill 75 would impose flood-aware building and site standards for youth camps near floodplains, and House Bill 71 would require camps and youth activity entities to submit emergency preparedness plans to TDEM, coordinate with local responders, and maintain readiness protocols; both bills were supported by safety advocates and camp representatives, and both were left pending. House Bill 171 would require campgrounds near flood-prone waters to give written flood-risk notice to campers and obtain signed acknowledgment; it was presented as informed consent and left pending. Testimony on these bills emphasized Camp Mystic and other recent flood tragedies, with some witnesses urging broader building-code and floodplain reforms. The committee also heard House Bill 117, which would let counties regulate impervious cover for flood mitigation in unincorporated areas. Supporters, including county officials, environmental groups, and residents, argued that rapid development in the Hill Country and other growing areas is worsening runoff and downstream flooding; opponents from the builders’ association said counties already have substantial authority and warned about overreach into rural property use. After extensive testimony, the bill was left pending. Senate Bill 18 would streamline permitting for certain flood control districts to repair dams and reservoirs and build small holding areas, and it was left pending after supportive testimony from Plum Creek Conservation District. Senate Bill 3 would create a state-backed outdoor flood warning siren program for identified flood-prone areas, funded through a grant program; witnesses generally supported it, though some cautioned that sirens are not sufficient by themselves and may not be heard indoors or in overnight storms. It too was left pending. The committee also began hearing House Bill 149 on public-safety radio interoperability, but the transcript cuts off before the bill’s full testimony or action is shown.

Summary: The committee heard extensive testimony on SB 5633, a major rewrite of subdivision law. Staff described changes that would move many subdivision decisions from legislative bodies to administrative personnel, limit or eliminate public hearings for plats, expand notice to nearby landowners, clarify pre-application conferences, require concurrent review of related permits, and set a 100-day decision timeline for preliminary plats. Supporters from the building industry, Realtors, and some city officials said the bill would streamline an outdated process, reduce delays and costs, and help housing production. County and city representatives, while praising the stakeholder process and some technical improvements, raised concerns about eliminating public hearings, local accountability, and implementation details. The committee also heard testimony on SB 6279, which would incorporate the Wildland Urban Interface code into the state building code after wildfire maps are completed, with local amendment authority and consultation requirements. Fire marshals and some environmental advocates supported the goal but asked for clearer environmental protections, more transparency in mapping, and more local flexibility; builders and county officials opposed or sought changes, warning about costs, timing, and the practicality of applying the code before maps are finalized. The committee then heard SB 6309, which would streamline permitting for Sound Transit and other regional transit authority projects by allowing permit applications before land acquisition is complete, allowing rail facilities to exceed some local height and setback limits when practicable, and exempting certain land divisions tied to condemnation for essential public facilities. The committee waived the five-day notice rule for the bill, and the sponsor and Sound Transit representatives said the measure would reduce delays and help deliver light rail and bus rapid transit more efficiently while preserving local coordination and cultural resource review. The committee also heard SB 6291, which would extend from two to four years the period during which local health jurisdiction wastewater inspectors may work under supervision before certification; public health officials supported the change as a workforce and training fix, saying the current timeline is too short and costly. Finally, SB 6274 would require comprehensive plans to identify infrastructure barriers, including frontage and street standards that affect infill and middle housing, and to review those standards for consistency with housing and transportation goals. Builders and some planners supported the bill as a way to reduce costly frontage mandates, while city and advocacy witnesses asked for clearer definitions and cautioned about impacts on safety, accessibility, and local street design.

Summary: The Committee on Trade, Workforce and Economic Development met with a quorum and moved quickly through a long agenda, hearing testimony and taking recorded votes on several bills. Early in the meeting, HB 2214 was laid out to exempt certain short-term residential leases and leaseback arrangements from flood-disclosure requirements; Texas Realtors supported the change, and the bill was left pending. The committee then voted out a series of pending measures, including HB 46, HB 186 (with a committee substitute), HB 431, HB 1147, HB 1154, HB 2468, HB 2488, HB 2788 (with a substitute), HB 2791 (with a substitute), HB 3260, and HCR 90, all reported favorably to the full House, with HB 1147 receiving two nays and the others passing unanimously or nearly so. A major portion of the hearing focused on HB 112, which would create a Texas Science Park district and commission to support advanced manufacturing and innovation sites. The bill’s author and supporters, including Samsung Austin Semiconductor, the Texas Association of Business, and the Governor’s economic development office, argued it would strengthen supply chains, attract investment, and support national security and workforce development. Testimony described interest from semiconductor and advanced manufacturing companies and referenced the model of foreign science parks such as Sinshu in Taiwan. HB 112 was left pending after testimony. The committee also heard HB 3698 and HB 3699, both related to unemployment insurance administration. HB 3698 would expand eligibility for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment program using federal funds, while HB 3699 would tighten the definition of “last work” to help the Texas Workforce Commission investigate UI fraud. Both bills were discussed with TWC resource witnesses and left pending after the committee withdrew the substitutes. HB 1349, which would extend HOA transparency and property-rights provisions to condominiums and refine HOA rules, and HB 621, which would require HOA meeting spaces to be available for residents to reserve for qualified political candidates or elected officials, were also heard and left pending. Finally, the committee heard HCR 9 to designate the first Saturday of each month as Small Business Saturday, HB 199 to index unemployment benefit duration to the state unemployment rate, and HB 3466 to exempt certain cancelable service contracts from Texas’s in-home sales cooling-off law; each drew supportive and opposing testimony and was left pending before adjournment.
