Description: The Court of Civil Appeals, in Kilgore Development, Inc. v. Woodland Place, LLC, has ruled that a contract for the purchase and sale of lots prior to a plat being approved is void because the contract would violate existing subdivision laws.
This bill would provide that county and municipal laws relating to the regulation of subdivisions would not apply to contracts to purchase or sell lots which are planned to be developed. Approval of the subdivision plat and recording of the plat would be required before a lot could be conveyed to any third party.
This bill would also make certain provisions consistent in county and municipal subdivision laws.
