If an applicant has a plat in our possession and there is a risk that it will not be promoted to Commissioners’ Court prior to the expiration of the CPC-101, an EOA must be filed in a timely manner with the City of Houston.

Chapter 42 allows for a single one year extension. Accordingly, if your final plat has not been promoted to Commissioners’ Court for action prior to
the expiration of your EOA, you will be notified in writing and your plat will be returned to the City of Houston for further disposition. Should this happen, you will be required to submit a new application for said plat with the City of Houston.

We acknowledge there are approximately 10 plus days between (a) our deadline, (b) when a plat goes to Court and (c) when the plat is officially recorded, just know that those ten (10) plus days are the only “grace period that will be extended."
