BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 3930.005, Special District Local Laws | ||
Code, is amended to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 3930.005. DISTRICT TERRITORY. (a) The district is | ||

section, Section 3930.107, or other law. | ||
(b) The boundaries and field notes of the district contained | ||
in Section 2 of the Act enacting this chapter form a closure. A | ||
mistake in the field notes of the district contained in Section 2 of | ||
the Act enacting this chapter or in copying the field notes in the | ||
legislative process does not in any way affect the district's: | ||
(1) organization, existence, or validity; or | ||
(2) legality or operation. | ||
(c) The district shall hold an election in the additional | ||
territory in the new boundaries of the district described by | ||
Section 2 of the Act enacting this subsection on a uniform election | ||
date provided by Section 41.001, Election Code, to confirm the | ||
addition of the territory to the district. | ||
(d) Notice of the confirmation election shall state the day | ||
and place or places for holding the election and the proposition to | ||

(f) Immediately after the confirmation election, the | ||

board shall canvass the returns and issue an order declaring the | ||

description of the district's boundaries according to the results | ||
of the election. | ||
(g) If at least 60 percent of the votes cast in the election | ||
favor the addition of the territory to the district, the board shall | ||
issue an order declaring that the additional territory is added to | ||
the district and enter the result in its minutes. If less than 60 | ||
percent of the votes cast in the election favor the addition of the | ||

as that territory may have been modified under Section 3930.107 or | ||
other law. The boundaries of the district contained in Section 2 of | ||
the Act enacting this subsection form a closure. A mistake in the | ||
description of the district contained in Section 2 of the Act | ||
enacting this subsection or in copying the description in the | ||
legislative process does not in any way affect the district's: | ||
(1) organization, existence, or validity; or | ||
(2) legality or operation. | ||
(j) If less than 60 percent of the votes cast in the election | ||
favor the addition of the territory in the new boundaries described | ||
