TX HB4165

Amends Section 211.006(d) of the Local Government Code to modify protest requirements for municipal zoning changes based on whether the change affects residential zoning classifications

For non-residential zoning changes that are protested, maintains the existing requirement of a three-fourths supermajority vote of the governing body to approve, with protests requiring signatures from owners of at least 20% of affected or adjacent property

Creates new subsection (d-1) for residential zoning changes, lowering the approval threshold to a simple majority vote of the governing body when protested, but raising the protest signature requirement to owners of at least 50% of affected or adjacent property (within 200 feet)

Applies only to zoning change proposals for which notice is given on or after the effective date; proposals with notice given before remain governed by prior law

Takes effect September 1, 2025
