Background

Eastwood Municipal Utility District was created by order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality dated April 9, 2026, and its board's order calling this election also asks voters to confirm the district's creation, elect permanent directors, and approve other tax and bond questions, according to the order of election.

The order states that the board approved a Preliminary Engineering Report for Road Improvements dated June 2026, which estimates a total road bond requirement of $47,500,000, including $20,081,818 for roads plus engineering, interest and other costs; the order says the report is not a contract with voters.

According to the order, the district has never issued bonds and has no debt service tax rate; the estimated maximum interest rate is 6.00%, and bonds could be issued in series maturing over up to 40 years.

The order states that under Section 52, Article III of the Texas Constitution, road bonds may not be issued unless approved by a two-thirds majority of resident voters voting in the election.

Put on the ballot by Eastwood Municipal Utility District Board of Directors (order calling the November 3, 2026 election; adoption date not legible in posted copy).
