Submissions Approved, CAFA, 8/26/02 Whereas, Texas law allows municipalities to annex
new territory over the objections of the affected landowners and
even of citizens within those cities; Whereas, An amendment to state law can remedy this
injustice by requiring two simultaneous (city funded) elections
be held so that municipal annexations can happen only by a
majority vote of the people being annexed and of the voters in
the cities doing the annexation, Whereas, Citizens of annexed territory may be
unhappy with service delivery or loss of independence, and wish
to be de-annexed; be it RESOLVED, That this
organization supports the proposal to amendment Texas annexation
law to require two elections before a city can annex more
territory; and RESOLVED, that citizens in
annexed areas should be able to petition for a mandated (city
funded) election to be de-annexed, and RESOLVED, That such
elections must be spaced at least three years apart for each
annexed area. Adopted by: Organization_____________________________________________________ Mailing
