More than 34,000 acres of land on over 1,000 parcels in Central Texas have been annexed out of the extraterritorial jurisdictions of area cities, according to an analysis by the Austin Business Journal. The annexations are the result of state Senate Bill 2038, which lets property owners on the boundaries of cities free themselves from local regulations that may inhibit their development prospects. The 2,100-acre Tesla factory in East Austin is one of the most high-profile examples of annexations made possible by the law, freeing the company from the city’s air quality and water use laws. Cities can formally approve the annexations or let them cycle through the 45-day waiting period before the land is automatically removed, though there are legal challenges to the law. In July, the city released a memo concerning properties in South Austin that were seeking to annex out of the ETJ. City staffers are also working to determine what consequences the state law will have on local water quality efforts.

DRIPPING SPRINGS — The Dripping Springs Tigers 5-1 (2-0) football team is averaging more than 40 points per game and they topped that with a 49-7 Homecoming win on Friday, Oct. 4, in a 6A District 26 game over the Austin High School Maroons 3-3 (1-1). The Tigers got on the board first when quarterback Maddox Maher connected on a 30-yard pass play to Nick Tyndall. An interception by Jackson Mills, who at halftime was named the Homecoming king, resulted in a touchdown when Merrik Bloomgren caught Maher’s 25-yard pass in the end zone for a touchdown and a 14-0 first quarter lead. Jack Tyndall scored the first of two rushing touchdowns on a 33-yard run and Cooper Reid stepped into the end zone after catching Maher’s 30-yard pass to make it 28-7. Maher scored on a 2-yard run for a 35-7 lead, with just under two minutes remaining in the half, and left the game after a 37-yard run set up a 1-yard run for a touchdown by Jack Tyndall for 42-7 halftime lead. The Tigers scored early in the third quarter when quarterback Mateo Perez, who came in for Maher, threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Nick Tyndall in the back of the end zone. The Maroons missed its best scoring opportunity in the fourth quarter when Dripping Springs’ Gage De Los Santos picked off John Latham’s pass in the endzone. Austin’s lone score was early in the second quarter after the Tigers missed a field goal. The Maroons took possession of the ball and Bryson Batts ran 80 yards for a touchdown. “It’s a great Homecoming win. You worked hard for this and I’m proud of you,” head coach Galen Zimmerman told the team after the game, “Celebrate it, but don’t take it for granted. It’s hard to win a football game on Friday night in Texas.” Maher, who has passed for 1259 yards and 20 touchdowns, completed 11 of 20 passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns and had 72 yards rushing. Perez completed five of eight passes for 75 yards and one touchdown. Logan Keim was also worked in at quarterback for the Tigers and completed four of six passes for 41 yards. Reid led receivers with six receptions for 84 yards, followed by Nick Tyndall with five catches for 78 yards. Jack Tyndall, averaging more than 100 yards per game, led in rushing with 15 carries for 131 yards. Lawson Attaway had seven carries for 31 yards. With Lake Travis High School (Oct. 18) and Westlake High School (Nov. 8) games remaining and Del Valle High School in-between, Reid said the team is not looking ahead: “Being 2-0 in this district is huge and it’s a great start to our season, but our focus is watching film tomorrow morning, correcting the mistakes we made tonight and getting ready for Bowie [High School].” Dripping Springs will face the Bowie Bulldogs 5-1 (1-1) at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 11 at Burger Stadium in Austin.
