Several bills with potential impacts to the groundwater and water well industry have been filed as part of Texas' current Special Legislative Session. The session, called by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, began on July 21, 2025. 

Many provisions in these bills stem from a proposed project in Anderson, Henderson, and Houston counties to potentially pump and export groundwater to the Dallas area.  

• House Bill 215
• HB 216
• HB 217
• HB 218 

TGWA is seeking input from our membership to develop a position and/or strategy to move forward on these bills.
