Modifies provisions governing annexation of territory outside the boundaries of a city

Summary

The bill replaces the existing section 71.012 with new language that tells city, town, and village governments how they may annex surrounding unincorporated areas. It defines when land is considered “contiguous and compact,” sets special rules for airports, correctional centers, and certain counties, and outlines the petition, hearing, and objection process. The changes aim to clarify annexation procedures and limit challenges after an annexation is approved.
