The Board of Directors of the Lost Creek Limited District wants to provide Lost Creek residents with information about two bills currently filed with the Texas Legislature that potentially impact Lost Creek. The identical companion bills are Senate Bill 1499, introduced by Senator Dawn Buckingham, and House Bill 3827, introduced by Representative Terry Wilson. The Limited District did not participate in the preparation or filing of the legislation.

The Limited District Board understands that the initial bill may be substantially altered by a replacement bill. As such, we are refraining from providing in-depth analysis, as there are too many unknowns regarding how this may impact the Limited District. As soon as the bill (or replacement bill) is set for a hearing, the Limited District will issue a communication regarding hearing dates and times.

The Limited District’s Board of Directors has a duty to protect the Limited District’s assets, which have been paid for and maintained by Lost Creek residents. We take seriously our obligations as stewards of these assets, which include our parks, greenbelts, maintenance funds, and investments and intend to comment as necessary to fulfill those duties.
