BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 2, Chapter 358, Acts of the 82nd | ||

SECTION 2. Subchapter A, Chapter 3905, Special District | ||
Local Laws Code, is amended by adding Section 3905.009 to read as | ||
follows: | ||
Sec. 3905.009. OVERLAPPING TERRITORY. (a) If territory in | ||
the district overlaps with the boundaries of another district | ||
created before June 17, 2011, that has the powers of a district | ||
created under Chapter 375, Local Government Code, the overlapping | ||
territory is excluded from the territory of the district that was | ||
created first, regardless of whether the territory overlapped on | ||
June 17, 2011. | ||
(b) The exclusion of territory under this section does not | ||
diminish or impair the rights of the holders of any outstanding and | ||
unpaid bonds, warrants, or other district obligations. The district | ||
that was created first shall continue to impose fees, taxes, or | ||
assessments, if any, on the excluded territory at the same rate | ||
imposed on other territory in the district until the total amount of | ||
fees, taxes, or assessments collected from the excluded territory | ||
equals its pro rata share of the indebtedness of the district at the | ||
time the territory was excluded. All fees, taxes, or assessments | ||
collected in the excluded territory by the district that was | ||
created first shall be applied to the payment of the excluded | ||
territory's pro rata share of indebtedness. The owner of all or part | ||
of the excluded territory at any time may pay in full the owner's | ||
share of the excluded territory's pro rata share of the | ||
indebtedness at the time the territory was excluded. | ||
(c) If the district that was created first does not have any | ||
outstanding and unpaid bonds, warrants, or other district | ||
obligations, but imposes assessments under an assessment plan | ||
adopted before May 1, 2015, the district may continue to impose | ||
those assessments on the excluded territory at the same rate | ||
imposed on other territory in the district to satisfy the | ||
requirements of that assessment plan. All assessments collected in | ||
the excluded territory by the district that was created first shall | ||
be applied to satisfy the requirements of the assessment plan. | ||
