MCBA Wants to Help Everyone Be a Productive Member of Society

With the start of the third special legislative session at the Texas Capitol, one of the major bills state lawmakers will begin debating involves whether taxpayer money should be used to pay for students to go to private schools.

Supporters call it school choice, while opponents call them school vouchers.

Zoning, Entitlements & Building Codes Should Be Simple to Understand and Equally Enforced

After an hours long debate that lasted well into Wednesday night, Dallas city council members voted 12-3 to use a zoning ordinance to deal with short-term rental issues.

The newly adopted ordinance will try to regulate STRs by outlawing the properties from single-family zoned areas in the city. Proponents call this the KISS option — or “keep it simple solution.”

The new ordinance was expanded to allow STRs in multi-family zoned districts and must have include off-street parking, in a wave of last-minute motions to amend the contentious KISS option.
