If anyone wants to read SB 98....here is the link
http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/Text.aspx?LegSess=851&Bill=SB98
If we get lucky and it makes it all the way, we can fill our coop on December 1, 2017
My only worry is the distance between the coop and a residence. When you live in a subdivision you don't have much room between houses and I wouldn't put it pass my city to take advantage of this to prevent us from having them in the backyard. Cluck!
The bill specifically prohibits municipalities and political subdivisions from setting arbitrary boundaries to prohibit the raising of hens. In other words, if the bill passes, you have the right to raise the chickens even if they are right across the fence from your neighbor.
Here in San Antonio, the law is 100 feet. IF this passes, kiss that goodbye!
