Annexation tops Dripping Springs legislative priorities

Protecting dark skies and enabling more freedoms in how cities spend money are two topics Dripping Springs city leaders support during the 86^th Legislative session.

Those priorities were outlined via a resolution approved by Dripping Springs city leaders March 3.

High on Dripping Springs’ priority list is supporting legislation that would allow General Law Municipalities to annex an area upon request of the property owner. The legislation would impact cities with a population of 1,599 to 2,900 and would only be allowed if the area to be annexed is adjacent to the city limits and doesn’t have utility services.
