Houston City Officials Oppose Trinity River Authority Bill
Houston officials press opposition to House Bill 20 creating a Trinity River authority.

The plan could affect Houston’s access to Trinity water versus Brazos and Colorado sources, with further development and groundwater protection discussed amid statewide water questions.
