Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.
Official fiscal-note agency context
No verified agency references are available from the latest parsed official fiscal material. KeepTXRed does not infer an administering agency from the bill topic or title.

KeepTXRed summary
HB 3511 was a House-passed proposal to support electric-vehicle participation in the ERCOT market by authorizing the Public Utility Commission to establish interconnection and technical standards. The Senate did not pass it.
What would change
The proposal would have authorized PUC standards for safety, technical performance and interconnection of electric vehicles and aggregated EV resources, while requiring consistency with recognized standards such as UL, the National Electrical Code, the National Electrical Safety Code and IEEE standards.
Who may be affected
Electric-vehicle owners and aggregators, utilities, ERCOT, PUC, charging and vehicle manufacturers, distributed-energy providers and grid planners.
When it would take effect
HB 3511 did not take effect. The House passed it and it was received by the Senate, but the Senate did not give final passage.
Limits and uncertainty
The bill primarily authorized PUC standards; it did not itself guarantee EV market participation or compensation. Existing ERCOT and PUC interconnection rules remain controlling.
