OPINION

BOB McCOY, JUSTICE.

In this accelerated interlocutory appeal, Appellant Harry Bizios complains of the trial court's injunction requiring him to obtain permits from and allow building inspections by Appellee the Town of Lakewood Village pursuant to the Town's ordinances. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(4) (West Supp.2014). In his first of three issues, Bizios contends that the Town, as a Type-A general-law municipality with approximately 620 inhabitants, does not have constitutional or statutory authority to apply its building code to its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). In his second issue, he argues that even if the Town had such authority, it does not apply here because the Town is prohibited from applying its subdivision regulations to his property under local government code section 212.007. See Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Ann. § 212.007 (West 2008).

The Town is surrounded by a half-mile ETJ1 that encompasses a portion of the Sunrise Bay subdivision where Bizios started to build his home in March 2014.2 The Town does not provide any services to the subdivision; Little Elm, a more populous home-rule city, provides water to the subdivision, each lot has an individual septic system, and Denton County maintains the subdivision's roads outside of Little Elm's city limits.3 Little Elm and Denton County approved the subdivision's final plat in 1995. No plat was filed with the Town.

Bizios bought his lot, which is located entirely in the Town's ETJ, in 2013. Bizios applied for and received a development permit from Denton County. It is undisputed that short of the Town's building permit, Bizios had obtained all of the permits required to build his home. The Town sought and received a temporary injunction against Bizios to stop construction on his lot until he obtained the Town's building permit. The Town relied on local government code section 212.003 and "Chapter 212" to support its claim to relief in the trial court, contending that Bizios had violated ordinance 11-16.

While we review a trial court's grant of a temporary injunction for an abuse of discretion, Butnaru v. Ford Motor Co., 84 S.W.3d 198, 204 (Tex.2002) (op. on reh'g), the temporary injunction's validity here rests upon the trial court's construction of the local government code, which we review de novo. See City of Garland v. Dallas Morning News, 22 S.W.3d 351, 357 (Tex.2000); El Paso Natural Gas Co. v. Minco Oil & Gas, Inc., 8 S.W.3d 309, 312 (Tex.1999). In construing a statute, our objective is to determine and give effect to the legislature's intent, looking first to the "`plain and common meaning of the statute's words.'" State v. Gonzalez, 82 S.W.3d 322, 327 (Tex.2002) (quoting Fitzgerald v. Advanced Spine Fixation Sys., Inc., 996 S.W.2d 864, 865 (Tex. 1999)); see also Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 312.005 (West 2013) ("In interpreting a statute, a court shall diligently attempt to ascertain legislative intent and shall consider at all times the old law, the evil, and the remedy."); Am. Home Prods. Corp. v. Clark, 38 S.W.3d 92, 95 (Tex.2000) ("When we construe a statute, our objective is to determine and give effect to the Legislature's intent."). If a statute's meaning is unambiguous, we generally interpret the statute according to its plain meaning. Gonzalez, 82 S.W.3d at 327. We determine legislative intent from the entire act and not just its isolated portions. Id. (citing Jones v. Fowler, 969 S.W.2d 429, 432 (Tex.1998)). Thus, we "`read the statute as a whole and interpret it to give effect to every part.'" Id. (quoting Jones, 969 S.W.2d at 432).

The issue here is whether the Town, as a general-law municipality, has the authority to extend its building code to its ETJ.4 The Town argues that the legislature has given it authority to regulate development and thus to extend its building code to its ETJ under local government code sections 212.002 and 212.003; it also relies on sections 214.212, 214.904(a), and 233.153(c) to support its argument. See Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Ann. §§ 212.002.003, 214.212, 214.904 (West 2008), § 233.153(c) (West Supp.2014).

Because a municipality possesses authority to regulate land development in its ETJ only to the extent it is legislatively granted that authority, legislatively-created express limitations to that grant of authority — such as local government code section 212.003 — are construed strictly against the authority of the municipality and in favor of the landowner. Town of Annetta S. v. Seadrift Dev., LP., 446 S.W.3d 823, 826 (Tex.App. — Fort Worth 2014, pet. filed); see also FM Props. Operating Co. v. City of Austin, 22 S.W.3d 868, 902 (Tex.2000) ("[A] city's authority to regulate land development in its ETJ is wholly derived from a legislative grant of authority."); Milestone Potranco Dev., Ltd. v. City of San Antonio, 298 S.W.3d 242, 247 (Tex.App. — San Antonio 2009, pet. denied) (stating that the similarities between zoning ordinances that a municipality may adopt under section 211.003 and the list of items a municipality is prohibited from regulating under section 212.003 reveals the legislature's intent to prohibit a municipality from regulating zoning-type uses in the ETJ).5

Local government code chapter 212, "Municipal Regulation of Subdivisions and Property Development," contains eight subchapters, most of which are not pertinent to the issue before us.6 Subchapter A, "Regulation of Subdivisions," contains section 212.002, "Rules," which provides that "a municipality may adopt rules governing plats and subdivisions of land within the municipality's jurisdiction to promote the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the municipality and the safe, orderly, and healthful development of the municipality."7 Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Ann. § 212.002 (emphasis added).

Section 212.003(a), the first subsection under the heading, "Extension of Rules to Extraterritorial Jurisdiction," states,

Id. § 212.003(a) (emphasis added).8 As we stated in Town of Annetta South, "The purpose of these restrictions on a municipality's authority to impose regulations on land in the municipality's ETJ is to prohibit the municipality's extension of zoning ordinances into its ETJ under the guise of cleverly drafted rules `governing plats and subdivisions of land.'" 446 S.W.3d 823, 827. Therefore, unless otherwise authorized by state law, per section 212.003(a)'s plain language, a municipality cannot extend its ordinances as to the use of any building or the bulk, height, or size of such buildings, among other things, into its ETJ, which is what the Town purports to do in ordinance 10-01.9 See id.; see also Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Ann. § 212.003(a)(1)(2) (prohibiting regulation in the ETJ of use of buildings or bulk, height, or number of buildings without express authorization by other state law); Dallas Merchant's & Concessionaire's Ass'n v. City of Dallas, 852 S.W.2d 489, 491 (Tex.1993) (stating that an ordinance that attempts to regulate a subject matter preempted by a state statute is unenforceable to the extent it conflicts with a state statute).

Further, section 212.007(a) provides that for "a tract located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of more than one municipality, the authority responsible for approving a plat under this subchapter is the authority in the municipality with the largest population."10 Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Ann. § 212.007(a). As reflected through the testimony at the hearing, Little Elm, not the Town, had the authority to approve the plat for Bizios's subdivision and did so in 1995.

Subchapter B of chapter 212, "Regulation of Property Development," grants a municipality the authority to adopt plans, rules, or ordinances governing development plats of land within its limits and in its ETJ. Id. § 212.044. "Development" under subchapter B means "the new construction or the enlargement of any exterior dimension of any building, structure, or improvement." Id. § 212.043(1). Anyone who proposes to develop a tract of land located in the municipality or its ETJ under this subchapter must have a development plat of the tract prepared in accordance with the applicable plans, rules, or ordinances of the municipality, id. § 212.045(a), but if a person is required under subchapter A or another ordinance to file a subdivision plat, "a development plat is not required in addition to the subdivision plat," id. § 212.045(d) (emphasis added).

To obtain the authority to require a development plat under subchapter B, the municipality must adopt subchapter B, and the Town has not done so. See id. § 212.041. Any provisions of subchapter A that do not conflict with subchapter B apply to subchapter B's development plats. Id. § 212.042. While the municipality, county, or other official who issues building or other development permits may not issue a permit for lots or tracts subject to this subchapter until a development plat is filed with and approved by the municipality under section 212.047,11 id. § 212.046, "[t]his subchapter does not authorize the municipality to require municipal building permits or otherwise enforce the municipality's building code in its extraterritorial jurisdiction," id. § 212.049 (emphasis added). Because the subdivision plat of Bizios's neighborhood was already approved by the municipality with authority to approve it, and because even if Little Elm had not previously approved the subdivision plat, the Town has not adopted subchapter B, subchapter B does not apply here, but the existence of subchapter B shows some evidence of the legislature's intent that a municipality not be authorized to enforce its building code in its ETJ.12 See id. § 212.049.

We have also reviewed chapter 214, which governs municipal regulation of housing and other structures, and chapter 233, which governs the same as to counties. See id. §§ 214.001-.906 (West 2008), §§ 233.001-.901 (West 2005 & Supp.2014). Subchapter G of chapter 214, "Building and Rehabilitation Codes," provides that the International Residential Code "is adopted as a municipal residential building code in this state." Id. §§ 214.211-.212(a). However, the legislature restricted its application to "all construction, alteration, remodeling, enlargement, and repair of residential structures in a municipality." Id. § 214.212(b) (emphasis added). Although section 214.904, "Time for Issuance of Municipal Building Permit," states that "[t]his section applies only to a permit required by a municipality to erect or improve a building or other structure in the municipality or its extraterritorial jurisdiction," id. § 214.904, we read this section in conjunction with the rest of the subchapter to apply to the municipalities granted such capacity, i.e., home-rule municipalities, see, e.g., id. § 214.901 (stating that a home-rule municipality may require that the construction of buildings comply with the energy conservation standards in the municipal building code), and in the context of other specific local government code provisions that expressly grant authority to extend a regulation into an ETJ. See id. § 216.902 (West 2008) (authorizing municipality to extend outdoor sign regulation to ETJ), § 372.003 (West Supp.2014) (authorizing municipality to undertake improvement project in ETJ), § 377.002 (West 2005) (authorizing municipality to create municipal development district in ETJ), § 382.109 (West Supp.2014) (requiring road projects to meet all applicable standards of each municipality in whose ETJ a district improvement project is located), § 395.011 (West 2005) (authorizing municipality to impose impact fee in ETJ).

Subchapter F of chapter 233, "Residential Building Code Standards Applicable to Unincorporated Areas of Certain Counties," was adopted by order of the Denton County Commissioners Court in January 2010 to apply to "certain residential construction in unincorporated areas of Denton County." See id. § 233.152. This subchapter requires new residential construction in an area of the county to which the subchapter applies to conform with the International Residential Code unless "a municipality located within a county to which this subchapter applies has adopted a building code in the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction," in which case the municipality's building code controls "and building code standards under this subchapter have no effect in the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction." Id. § 233.153(a), (c). Again, as nothing in the local government code explicitly authorizes a general law municipality to extend its building code to its ETJ, we read this section as applying to home-rule municipalities because a general-law municipality can exercise only those powers that the legislature confers on it by law. See City of W. Lake Hills v. Westwood Legal Defense Fund, 598 S.W.2d 681, 683 (Tex.Civ. App. — Waco 1980, no writ.).13 Because none of the statutes referenced by the Town expressly grant a general-law municipality the authority to extend its building code into its ETJ, and because we have otherwise found none that does so, the trial court abused its discretion by granting the injunction. See Tex. Dep't of Transp. v. City of Sunset Valley, 146 S.W.3d 637, 645 (Tex.2004) ("General-law municipalities ... are political subdivisions created by the State and, as such, possess those powers and privileges that the State expressly confers upon them."); cf. Tex. Loc. Gov't Code Ann. § 51.072 (West 2008) (stating that a home-rule municipality "has full power of local self-government"); Proctor v. Andrews, 972 S.W.2d 729, 733 (Tex.1998) (op. on reh'g) ("While a home rule city ... has all the powers of the state not inconsistent with the Constitution, the general laws, or the city's charter, Tex. Const. art. XI, § 5, these broad powers may be limited by statute when the Legislature's intention to do so appears `with unmistakable clarity.'"); Forwood v. City of Taylor, 147 Tex. 161, 167, 214 S.W.2d 282, 286 (1948) (explaining that a home rule municipality has full authority to do anything the legislature could have authorized it to do). We sustain Bizios's first and second issues and, based on our disposition here, we do not reach his remaining issue pertaining to vested rights under local government code chapter 245. See Tex.R.App. P. 47.1.

Having sustained Bizios's dispositive issues, we reverse the trial court's order and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings.
