Subchapter C-3 of Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code(LGC) provides for the process of annexation of an area upon a request of an owner of land. Section 43.0672 of the LGC requires a municipality that elects to annex an area upon the request of an owner first negotiate and enter into a written agreement with the owners of land in the area for the provision of municipal services. The agreement must include: 1. A list of each service the municipality will provide on the effective date of the annexation; and 2. A schedule that includes the period within which the municipality will provide each service that is not provided on the effective date of the annexation.
