What does it do?
HB4894 replaces the Creedmoor Municipal Utility District’s original boundary description with four detailed tracts in Travis County. The new descriptions identify approximately 134.0, 78.9, 97.57 and 47.53 acres—a stated total of 358 acres—in the Elijah Caples, William P. Corbin and Samuel Little survey areas. The legal descriptions, not the rounded acreage summary, determine the land covered. Final law and all four boundary descriptions
The district was created by a 2021 law whose original description listed two tracts totaling 212.934 acres. HB4894 repeals that original description, adds a replacement to the 2021 act and updates the district statute to point to it. This comparison is between the two legislative descriptions, not a surveyed finding about each parcel or any intervening district boundary action. Original 2021 law
The bill also validates the district’s governmental acts, elections and proceedings taken before its effective date. That validation does not cover a matter already held invalid by a final court judgment, or a matter in litigation on the effective date if the litigation ultimately ends in a final judgment holding it invalid.
The existing protection against mistakes in the boundary field notes is updated to cover the replacement description: such mistakes do not defeat the district’s existence, operation or specified bond and tax powers. HB4894 does not create those powers for the first time or set a new tax rate. It became law without the governor’s signature and took effect June 20, 2025.
What changed along the way?
The introduced, House committee, House-passed, Senate committee and enrolled versions contain identical operative language, including the four tracts and litigation exceptions. The official amendment index lists none. A corrected Senate committee report appears in the history, but the indexed Senate text has no operative difference from the House-passed or final version. The House passed the bill 103–45, with two members present but not voting, and the Senate passed it 28–3. History · Text versions · Amendment index

Who could benefit—and who could bear the costs?
The district, landowners and parties relying on district elections or financing may benefit from clearer statutory boundaries and validation of earlier actions. Land included in the district can be affected by its existing utility-service, tax and financing powers. The bill does not establish a household’s tax increase, a service timetable or a guaranteed development benefit, and the court-related exceptions prevent the validation language from overriding the specified invalidity judgments.
The latest fiscal note says the fiscal effect on the district cannot be determined because the net effect of changing its boundaries is unknown. It anticipates no significant state fiscal impact and no fiscal impact on other local governments. The district’s unknown impact should not be reported as zero cost.
