The City of Fair Oaks Ranch on behalf of the Woods of Fair Oaks Neighborhood Association has requested that San Antonio release approximately 134.060 acres (0.209 square miles) of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) area, which is less than 1% of San Antonio's total ETJ area.

Statutory Requirements - The City of Fair Oaks Ranch has expressed its interest by Council resolution in extending its ETJ to this area. Per state law, the extraterritorial jurisdiction of municipalities may extend between 0.5 to 5.0 miles, based on population size. The San Antonio ETJ is a distance of five (5) miles from the San Antonio city limits boundary. Through written consent of the governing body, a municipality may release part of its ETJ. Upon release, another municipality may extend its ETJ to the property. Fair Oaks Ranch may extend one mile beyond its city limits.
