ELECTION.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) Only voters who reside in the municipal territory to be disannexed under this subchapter may vote in the disannexation election.
(b) The municipal territory is not disannexed from the district if a majority of the total votes cast in the election is in favor of the proposition stated in Section 9023.205(1).
(c) If the total vote in favor of the propositions stated in Sections 9023.205(2) and (3) is a majority of the votes cast in the election, the majority of the votes cast in the election is for disannexation from the district. As between the two propositions, the proposition that receives the greater number of votes prevails.
(d) If disannexation fails, an election under this subchapter to disannex the same municipal territory may not be held for one year.
