Commissioners to review relevant bills under consideration at 87th legislative session

The Hays County Commissioners Court will be discussing a variety of proposed bills in the 87th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature; one such bill proposes to create an additional District Court within Hays County. 

The commissioners will consider adopting resolutions regarding the proposed bills. 

House Bill 37 would establish a public routing process for oil and gas pipelines, requiring companies to go through the same process that governmental entities follow for roads and power lines. A public routing process would provide landowners with a greater voice and help ensure that the process is fair for all parties.
