Starbase City
Starbase is set to annex over 7,000 acres and establish its own police force and court
STARBASE TO ANNEX 7,000+ ACRES; LAUNCHING POLICE FORCE & COURT
The City of Starbase is making its biggest move yet. According to the agenda for the upcoming February 18th Commission meeting, the city is set to vote on a "Resolution of Intent" to annex approximately 7,133 acres of land into its corporate limits. This massive expansion includes huge swaths of land currently owned by SpaceX (listed as "Space Exploration Technologies Corp" and "Dogleg Park LLC") as well as state land owned by Texas Parks & Wildlife.
But they aren't just annexing they are building a government. The Commission will also vote to officially establish a "Municipal Court" for the City of Starbase and authorize applications to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) to stand up the Starbase Police Department. To house this new force, the City is looking to sign a lease agreement directly with SpaceX to use their facilities for "municipal office and police department space".
If approved Wednesday, this transforms Starbase from a rocket launch site into a fully operational city with its own jurisdiction, police power, and a massive footprint covering Boca Chica.
