<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>The extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is a legally designated area of land located a specific distance beyond a city’s corporate boundaries that a city has authority to annex. Chapter 42 of the Texas Local Government Code defines the size of the extraterritorial boundaries according to a city’s population. The statutes allow a five mile ETJ for cities in excess of 100,000 in population. Fort Worth’s population exceeds 100,000 persons, therefore it has a five-mile ETJ. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) is an area outside the city limits where cities can regulate some activities through agreements with the county.</SPAN></P></DIV> |
