The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 840 to increase housing in major cities. This law enables developers to construct multifamily and mixed-use projects in commercially zoned areas. Previously, developers had to request special permission to build such projects in these areas.
The new law aims to boost the state's housing stock. Further details about the law and its implementation can be found in the Dallas Morning News, which reports on the results of Senate Bill 840.
