Extraterritorial Jurisdiction

The Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) is the unincorporated land within three and one half (3.5) miles of San Marcos’s boundary that is not within the city limits or ETJ of another city. It is the territory where San Marcos alone is authorized to annex land. In accordance to the Texas Local Government Code Title 2 Subtitle C Chapter 42, interlocal agreements between the City of San Marcos and the City of Kyle created (Res 1987-072) and updated (Res 2013-034) an ETJ Agreement line where ETJ overlap occurred. Additional agreement lines with the City of New Braunfels (Res 1987-76R) and Uhland (2013-076) are also reflected in this feature. In 2016, a map error was discovered in the northwest area of the ETJ. This error has perpetuated in the data since 2007, when the city declared a population of 50,000 which extended the ETJ to 3.5 miles (Resolution 2007-146-R). After discussion with the City of Kyle the adjustment was made to correct this error in February 2017. The area consisted of 103 parcels northwest of Owl Hollow Rd and northeast of Hilliard Road.域外管辖权（Extraterritorial Jurisdiction，简称ETJ）指圣马科斯市边界周边3.5英里范围内，未纳入其他城市辖区或其ETJ范围的未建制土地。该区域为圣马科斯市独享土地兼并权限的管辖范围。依据《德克萨斯州地方政府法典》第2编副标题C第42章，圣马科斯市与凯尔市通过市际协议（经第1987-072号决议创设、第2013-034号决议修订）划定了双方ETJ重叠区域的分界线。本数据集同时收录了圣马科斯市与新布朗费尔斯市（第1987-76R号决议）及厄尔兰市（2013-076号决议）达成的相关市际协议分界线。2016年，研究人员在ETJ西北部区域发现一处制图错误：该错误可追溯至2007年，彼时圣马科斯市宣布人口达到5万，并通过第2007-146-R号决议将ETJ范围扩张至3.5英里，该错误自此长期留存于数据中。经与凯尔市磋商后，相关修正工作于2017年2月完成，涉及区域为猫头鹰谷路（Owl Hollow Rd）西北、希利亚德路（Hilliard Road）东北侧的共计103宗地块。
