TX HB5688

Creates the San Benito Municipal Utility District No. 1 in Cameron County, Texas, encompassing approximately 228.77 acres of land, governed by a board of three elected directors serving staggered four-year terms

Grants the district standard municipal utility district powers under Texas Water Code Chapters 49 and 54, plus authority to design, construct, finance, and maintain roads and storm drainage improvements

Authorizes the district to issue bonds and impose ad valorem taxes, assessments, and fees, with voter approval required for tax-backed bonds; road project bonds require two-thirds voter approval and cannot exceed one-fourth of assessed property value

Names three temporary directors (Alma Gabriela Quiroga, Mario A. Palomo, and Joel Quiroga) who serve until permanent directors are elected or four years pass, whichever comes first

Requires municipal consent by ordinance or resolution before the confirmation election can be held; eminent domain power is granted only if the Act receives a two-thirds legislative vote, otherwise the district cannot exercise eminent domain
