The 89th Texas Legislature advanced several water infrastructure measures during the 2025 legislative session. Most importantly, Senate Bill 7 and House Joint Resolution 7 were passed to expand the tools available for statewide water planning, financing, and project coordination. Texas voters also approved Proposition 4 on Nov. 4, 2025, establishing a dedicated revenue stream for the Texas Water Fund. Together, these actions will create long-term support for water supply development, wastewater and flood infrastructure, and future planning needs across the state.
