(a) After the hearing, if the commissioners court finds that the petition conforms to the requirements of Section 383.022 and that the creation of the district and the proposed project is feasible and necessary and would serve the public purpose of attracting visitors or tourists to the county, the commissioners court may make that finding and enter an order creating the district.

(c) If the commissioners court finds that the petition does not conform to the requirements of Section 383.022 or that the creation of the district and the proposed project is not feasible and necessary and would not serve the purpose of attracting visitors and tourists to the county, the commissioners court shall make that finding in an order and deny the petition.
