Northlake council holds closed session on annexations, short-term rentals and development projects; reconvenes with no action
Summary
At 5:58 p.m. on Jan. 22, 2026 the Town Council entered executive session to consult with counsel on multiple potential annexations and development agreements, discuss enforcement and appeals for short-term rentals, and negotiate economic-development matters for Project Rex Two, Project Force and a conference center amendment; the council reconvened at 6:30 p.m. and took no public action.
The Town Council entered an executive session under the Texas Government Code, Chapter 551 (Section 551.071 and 551.087) at 5:58 p.m. on Jan. 22 to consult with the town attorney and discuss economic development negotiations. Topics listed in the meeting record included several potential annexation and development agreements for specific tracts and acreages (T and R Investment Holdings LLC tracts totaling multiple small parcels; a 5.001-acre tract north of FM 407; a 239.6-acre tract owned by Bob Smith Management Company LTD; a 58.2-acre tract for RO Properties, LLC; and a 97.9-acre Bettye Neely tract at FM 156 and Sam Reynolds Road). The council also discussed legal matters related to Northlake Code of Ordinances Chapter 5, Article 5.11 concerning short-term rentals (enforcement, permit term and appeals).
In addition, the council considered economic development negotiations for Project Rex Two and Project Force under the Town Incentives Policy and a potential amendment to an economic development agreement with Northlake Innkeepers related to construction of a Northlake conference center. The executive session concluded with the council reconvening in open session at 6:30 p.m.; Mayor Montini stated no votes or actions were taken on the matters discussed in closed session.
Because the items were discussed in executive session, no public deliberations or motions occurred on these topics during that portion of the meeting; any future public action would require return to open session and formal votes.
