§ 201.050. CHANGE IN CONSERVATION DISTRICT OR SUBDIVISION BOUNDARIES.
Official statutory text
(a) A group of eligible voters may petition the state board for the inclusion of additional territory in an existing conservation district. Except as provided by Subsection (b) of this section, the petition is governed by, and the state board shall conduct proceedings on the petition in accordance with, the provisions of this subchapter relating to petitions for the creation of a conservation district. The state board shall prescribe the form for the petition, which must be as similar as practicable to the form provided for petitions for the creation of a conservation district.
(b) If there are fewer than 100 eligible voters in the area proposed for inclusion in the conservation district, and the petition is signed by two-thirds of those persons, the area may be included in the conservation district without an election. A person is eligible to vote at an election for including territory in an existing conservation district only if the person owns land in the territory to be included.
(c) The board of directors of one or more conservation districts may submit a petition to the state board requesting a division of the conservation district, a combination of two or more conservation districts, or a transfer of land from one conservation district to another. The petition must be signed by a majority of the directors of each conservation district affected. The state board shall determine the practicability and feasibility of the proposed change. If the state board determines that the change is not administratively practicable and feasible, it shall record that determination and deny the petition. If the board determines that the change is administratively practicable and feasible, it shall record that determination and reorganize the conservation districts in the manner set out in the petition.
(d) The state board, in cooperation with the landowners of a conservation district, may change the boundaries of the subdivisions of the conservation district as may be necessary or desirable because of additions of territory to the conservation district.
