(2) each municipality in whose extraterritorial jurisdiction the airport is located agrees to the annexation.
(c) A municipality may annex the area described by this section without the consent of any owners or residents of the area under the procedures prescribed by Subchapter C-1 if there are no owners other than the municipality or residents of the area.
