The Seawall Commission was established by the State of Texas legislation in 1933, 1934 and updated in 1983 “for Matagorda County precinct #3 boundaries as they existed on December 31, 1959, excluding residents of Bay City.”

Since then Commissioners have been very active in providing erosion control protection in the area, mostly with tax monies from the nearby nuclear plant, STP – monies which ended in 90’s. We now operate with approximately a $240,000 tax year in revenue for repair and maintenance of our current structures and maintain a conservative reserve necessary for hurricane emergencies.
