What does it do?

HB3810 directs the Rose City Municipal Utility District’s directors to wind up its affairs and dissolves the district on a fixed timetable. That includes filing any required dissolution documents with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The district is dissolved and its directors’ terms expire on the sixtieth day after the act’s effective date. Its governing law, Special District Local Laws Code Chapter 7958, is repealed one day later. Final law.

The act received the votes required for immediate effect when signed on June 20, 2025. Accordingly, the statutory dissolution date is August 19, 2025, and the chapter’s repeal date is August 20, 2025. These are the law’s dates; this review does not independently establish when every required filing or asset transfer was completed. Official history, including effective-date remarks.

What is being removed: The former chapter created a district limited to sewer and wastewater services. Its five-member board consisted of three City of Tyler appointees and two Smith County Commissioners Court appointees. It could issue revenue-backed obligations but could not impose a property tax. Its governing chapter also contained contracting, service, annexation and election-based dissolution provisions. HB3810 repeals that chapter and requires dissolution directly; it does not make dissolution contingent on a new local election. 2019 creating law.

The short act does not name a replacement service provider, list particular assets or liabilities, promise a rate reduction, or establish a new tax. It requires the directors to wind up the district rather than treating dissolution as proof that every practical obligation has already been resolved.

What changed along the way?

The introduced, House-report, engrossed, Senate-report and final operative provisions match. Both committees reported it without amendments, and the amendment index lists none. Version index.

The House passed it 133–0 with three present but not voting; the Senate passed it 31–0. The final act also records that the constitutionally required local-bill notice and agency-recommendation procedures were fulfilled. The immediate-effect provision and the delayed dissolution/repeal provisions operate together; “effective immediately” did not mean the district disappeared on signing day.

Who could benefit—and who could bear the costs?

Ending a separate district can remove an administrative structure, but residents, customers and creditors depend on an orderly winding-up of any actual services, assets and obligations. The act alone is not evidence that a household’s bill will fall or that an outstanding obligation disappears.

The May 7 fiscal note, like the introduced note, anticipates no significant state fiscal impact and assumes state costs can be absorbed within existing resources. The local fiscal impact could not be determined, because the circumstances of dissolution and transfers of assets, obligations and services were unknown. That is uncertainty—not a finding of no local cost.

Review boundary: This explains the enacted dissolution and repeal, not a current operational audit of sewer service, district accounts or completion of filings.
