What's next for Texas? "Our efforts are to get people in homes and help them stay in their homes," Mayville says. Some specifics — ADUs, permit reform, tax reforms, affordable housing requirements, etc.

One big win was SB 840, which allows residential-in-commercial projects (like mixed-use or multifamily housing in commercial areas) It was a widely supported policy, and had the least resistance. "Who cares if someone lives above Costco?" Nosek says.

Moderator Felicity Maxwell adds that the housing wins were largely bipartisan! Maxwell adds that that was the result of the coalition building work going into the most recent session.

"While all of us might have a lot of passion, it's important to talk to the practitioners and the experts on the issues." -Nicole Nosek Once Texans for Reasonable Solutions had expert support, it was easier to move forward with housing legislation

This bill affects all of Texas, but nowhere more so than Austin, where: 1. Simple rezonings regularly spend $10k *investigating* whether they're vulnerable to petitions before even starting. 2. The city itself bundles zoning code tweaks, pays $500k in notification costs, and still loses in court.

Another win for housing reform in TX! Gov. Abbott has also signed SB 840, allowing for more residential development in commercial zoned areas. #txlege #housing

It's official! Governor Greg Abbott has signed HB 24, restoring property rights to local communities and their elected officials across the state! #txlege #housing

💯💯💯 "The law is a win for affordable housing advocates and reflects the Dallas City Council’s recently approved changes to the city's residential development code that could help incentivize developers to build small-scale housing density by removing costly barriers such as extra staircases."

If the Denver city council wants to see what a reasonable set of safety requirements for Single Stair buildings looks like, they should review SB 2835, recently passed by the #txlege & based 1+yr input from local & national stakeholders in Austin lead by @aura-atx.org, AIA Austin and TX 2036.

Texas just adopted its Starter Homes law SB 15, which caps minimum lot sizes at 3,000 square feet for new >5 acre subdivisions. The first law of its kind in the country! Congrats @texansforhousing.bsky.social!

🚨 SB 673 needs your voice! This crucial ADU bill is stuck in the Calendars Committee and must be placed on the House Calendar by May 27 to move forward. Call calendar committee members and tell them to support SB 673. Texans need more housing options; let's make them easier to build. #txlege #SB673

Texans For Housing @texansforhousing.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

The results are in! Texas legislature passes bipartisan bill to lead statewide housing reform. SB 840 allows homes to be built on underused commercial land, especially areas near jobs and transit, in larger cities. Texas has taken the next step towards housing affordability and opportunity!

Happy Housing Day from the #txlege! We met with legislators and advocates from all over the state, doing our part to unlock a future where every Texan has a safe, affordable home. And we got to watch as HB 24, which eliminates the “tyrant’s veto,” passed the Texas House! 🥳 #HousingDayAtTheDome

New @texansforhousing.bsky.social poll: A majority of registered voters [in TX] support allowing smaller homes on smaller lots…More than 2/3 think it’s a good idea to make it easier to build ADUs, allow vacant office buildings to become homes and allow more homes in business and shopping districts

Why Texas Republicans are trying to rein in high home prices and rents

There’s political urgency for Republicans to deal with housing affordability, especially as surveys find most Texans say housing costs are a top concern.

Hey #txlege: We can make this happen + more! Supporting bills like SB 15, HB 24, SB 840 & SB 673 means Texans can have: + More affordable, smaller lots + Better property rights locally + Enhanced commercial spaces w/ housing + Casitas & Granny flats statewide Just over 40 days to get it done!
