TX HB4095

Allows eligible coastal municipalities with populations of 5,000 or less that have a state highway ferry system to increase their hotel occupancy tax rate above the standard limit, up to a maximum of 8% of the room price, if approved by majority voter approval at an election

Revenue from the tax rate exceeding 7% may be used for streetscape beautification and main street improvements, including pedestrian safety and accessibility enhancements

Adds "streetscapes" to the list of eligible public improvements that coastal municipalities can fund with hotel occupancy tax revenue for bond payments or maintenance/operations

Limits spending on streetscape and main street improvements from hotel tax revenue to no more than what the municipality spends on those purposes from all other funding sources combined in a calendar year

The provisions authorizing the increased tax rate and expanded spending purposes expire on December 31, 2035
