## Resource

Texas just cracked open the door for more affordable housing: new Senate Bill 785 forces most cities to allow HUD-code manufactured homes in at least one zoning district, ending outright bans and leveling the playing field on permits. While League City and Pearland are already compliant, hidden hurdles like minimum lot sizes could still block progress. The law doesn’t mandate universal acceptance — it’s about choice, not chaos — and while urban placement is now possible, buyers still face local land and cost realities.
