NDNA would like to share some key information with you regarding bills that are currently pending in the Texas Senate and House. The bills are:
Some of these bills would allow property owners of "normal sized lots" to build multiple Auxiliary Dwelling Units (ADUs) on a single property. All of the bills are “preemptive” in nature. That simply means that any zoning currently in place in Dallas or other municipalities would be overridden by state control. A worst case example is that you currently live in a single- or multi-family zoned area which has certain protections. If these bills pass, Dallas could do nothing to protect you from having multiple “houses” on lots near you or you could even end up with an industrial development in your backyard.
Please call or email your Senators and Representatives and ask them to vote AGAINST these bills. Below are the contacts from the North Texas area. You can call them all, even if you are not in each person’s district.
