The Rise of Texas MMDs with Ross Martin, Land to Lots Podcast

12.18.25

Listen to Episode 91 of the “Land to Lots” podcast, hosted by Carter Froelich with guest Winstead Shareholder Ross Martin.

Ross ranks among Texas' leading public finance attorneys advising developers on MUDs, MMDs, PIDs, TIRZs, and other district financing tools. In this episode, Ross provides insights on how Municipal Management Districts benefit developers, why Texas legislators established them, and their practical role within the state's district financing system.

Carter and Ross discuss the statutory foundation for MMDs, the problems they were designed to solve, and the ways in which they can provide meaningful advantages for both cities and developers. Ross also outlines the structural differences between MMDs and MUDs, key governance considerations, and the issues practitioners must account for during formation.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
