44-2 district has been completed.
44-3 (e) A vacancy in the office of director shall be filled by
44-4 appointment of the remaining members of the board, provided that
44-5 there are at least three members of the board remaining, and if
44-6 less than three members remain on the board shall be filled by
44-7 appointment of the Commissioners Court of the county.
44-8 (f) The commissioners court of the county may remove a
44-9 director for misconduct or failure to carry out his duties upon
44-10 petition by a majority of the remaining directors.
44-11 (g) As soon as practicable after a director is appointed, he
44-12 shall execute a bond for $10,000 payable to the district and
44-13 conditioned on the faithful performance of his duties. All bonds
44-14 of the directors shall be approved by the board, and each director
44-15 shall take the oath of office prescribed by the constitution for
44-16 public officers. The bond and oath shall be filed with the
44-17 district and retained in its records.
44-18 (h) After the directors have been appointed and have
44-19 qualified by executing a bond and taking the proper oath, they
44-20 shall organize by electing a president, a vice-president, a

45-3 Code, to the extent that such chapter does not conflict with this
45-4 Act, and specifically excluding Section 375.169 of such Chapter. A
45-5 person who qualifies to serve on the board is qualified to serve as
45-6 a director and participate in all votes pertaining to the business
45-7 of the district regardless of any other statutory provision to the
45-8 contrary. A director who has a beneficial interest in a business
45-9 entity that will receive a pecuniary benefit from an action of the
45-10 board may participate in discussion and vote on that action if a
45-11 majority of the board has a similar interest in the same action or
45-12 if all other similar business entities in the district will receive
45-13 a similar pecuniary benefit. An employee of a public entity may
45-14 serve on the board, but the public employee may not participate in
45-15 the discussion of or vote on any matter regarding contracts with
45-16 the public entity of which the director is an employee.
45-17 (k) Directors may be compensated in the manner provided by
45-18 Section 49.060, Water Code.
45-19 SECTION 6. PURPOSES. The district is created to:
45-20 (a) regulate land use in the district to preserve, protect,
45-21 and enhance the area in the district for industrial and other
45-22 conforming uses;
45-23 (b) acquire property in the district which is not in
45-24 conformity with the district's zoning regulations or comprehensive
45-25 plan by purchase, lease, or eminent domain, and sell or lease or
46-1 otherwise dispose of such property, with or without taking
46-2 competitive bids or competitive proposals, upon such terms and
46-3 conditions as the board deems appropriate, and may at the request
46-4 of the landowner or landowners, acquire property which is in
46-5 conformity with the district's zoning regulations and comprehensive
46-6 plan;
46-7 (c) exercise such regulatory authority over businesses,
46-8 whether commercial or industrial, within the boundaries of the
46-9 district as could otherwise be exercised by the city; and
46-10 (d) contract with the city, the county, or any other
46-11 political subdivision, which now or hereafter includes all or any
46-12 part of the district, to provide police power regulatory services
46-13 for the city, the county, or other political subdivision on such
46-14 terms and conditions as the parties agree, and to aid and assist
46-15 the city, the county, and other overlapping political subdivisions
46-16 with one or more projects.
46-17 SECTION 7. POWERS. (a) In addition to the specific
46-18 additional rights, powers, privileges, authority, and functions set
46-19 forth herein, the district has all of the rights, powers,
46-20 privileges, authority, and functions conferred by the general laws
46-21 of this state applicable to districts created under Chapter 375,
46-22 Local Government Code, which are necessary and convenient to
46-23 accomplish the purposes set forth in Section 6 of this Act.
46-24 (b) If any provision of any referenced law is in conflict
46-25 with or is inconsistent with this Act, this Act prevails. All laws
47-1 or provisions of laws referenced in this Act, and subsequent
47-2 amendments of those laws, are adopted and incorporated into this
47-3 Act for all purposes and may be used by the district independently
47-4 of each other.
47-5 SECTION 8. ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC POWERS AND DUTIES. (a) In
47-6 addition to the rights, powers, privileges, authority, and
47-7 functions set forth in Section 6 of this Act, the district has and
47-8 the board may undertake the additional rights, powers, privileges,
47-9 authority, and functions set forth in this section.
47-10 (b) (1) Except as described in this Subsection (b), the
47-11 board may exercise the power granted by Chapter 211, Local
47-12 Government Code, to the governing body of a general law
47-13 municipality to restrict the use or uses of property in the
47-14 district. In exercising their powers, the board shall follow the
47-15 procedures in Chapter 211, Local Government Code, applicable to a
47-16 general law municipality, including the provisions applicable to
47-17 the adoption of a comprehensive plan and the appointment of a
47-18 zoning commission and a board of adjustment.
47-19 (2) No restrictions on the use of property within the
47-20 district will be effective, until 30 days after the governing body
47-21 of the city certifies that each owner of land which the board
47-22 determines is then used for a nonconforming use has received an
47-23 offer for purchase of the affected estate of the land pursuant to
47-24 Subsection (c) of this section from the board.
47-25 (3) If the board is ultimately dissolved by the city,
48-1 or otherwise under Section 17 hereof, then such restrictions shall
48-2 be treated as if they has been adopted by the governing body of the
48-3 city.
48-4 (4) After initial adoption of zoning restrictions and
48-5 a comprehensive plan by the board, no additional changes to the
48-6 plan or other restrictions of uses of property within the district
48-7 shall be imposed without the consent of the governing body of the
48-8 city.
48-9 (c) (1) After adoption of zoning restrictions and a
48-10 comprehensive plan by the board, the district will acquire any real
48-11 property, including improvements thereon, which are used for
48-12 purposes that are nonconforming to the uses permitted by the
48-13 district's zoning regulations or comprehensive plan, and may
48-14 acquire any personal property which is currently being used or
48-15 which may in the future be used for purposes that are nonconforming
48-16 to the uses permitted by the district's zoning regulations and
48-17 comprehensive plan. The district may hold, improve, clear, or
48-18 otherwise prepare the property so acquired for redevelopment or
48-19 development, mortgage or otherwise encumber or dispose of or sell
48-20 the property, insure or provide for the insurance of the property,
48-21 and enter into any other contracts or agreements with respect to
48-22 such property. To the extent the district has funds available for
48-23 such purpose, the district shall acquire nonconforming residential
48-24 property and, after acquisition of such nonconforming residential
48-25 property, may acquire at the owners request nonconforming
49-1 nonresidential property or the property held for future conforming
49-2 or nonconforming uses. The district may use the proceeds of its
49-3 bonds to carry out the purposes of this Act.
49-4 (2) Property purchased pursuant to this Subsection (c)
49-5 shall be purchased by application of a formula or formulas to be
49-6 established by the board prior to confirmation of the district's
49-7 creation, which formula or formulas must be on file in the City
49-8 Hall of the city, during a period commencing 30 days prior to the
49-9 confirmation of the district's creation, and which formula or
49-10 formulas shall be confirmed as part of the confirmation of the
49-11 district's creation. To establish the purchase price for property
49-12 within the district, the formula or formulas adopted by the board
49-13 may include such elements as the board determines, including the
49-14 type and estate of land and current use of the property, the
49-15 replacement cost of houses, mobile homes, or businesses, the
49-16 replacement costs of barns, carports, sheds, pump houses, or other
49-17 outbuildings, an allowance for the replacement of pools, spas,
49-18 decks, patios, ornamental fencing, specimen trees, or other
49-19 amenities, moving costs, including moving costs for mobile homes,
49-20 utility connection fees, and disruption or relocation costs for
49-21 residents or businesses.
49-22 (3) In addition to the purchase price for property,
49-23 the district may pay the relocation costs for single family
49-24 tenants, including tenants with mobile homes, in connection with
49-25 the purchase of rental property. The formula for relocation cost
50-1 payments to tenants must also be confirmed as part of the
50-2 confirmation of the district's creation, and may include moving
50-3 payments, including the cost of moving mobile homes, utility
50-4 connection fees, security deposits and rental deposits, and
50-5 disruption/relocation fees.
50-6 (4) In addition to the purchase price for property,
50-7 the district may pay the relocation costs for businesses, including
50-8 moving payments, signage and other amenity replacement costs,
50-9 utility connections fees, security deposits and rental deposits,
50-10 and disruption/relocation fees.
50-11 (5) The purchase prices paid for property within the
50-12 district may not be considered by the Chambers County Appraisal
50-13 District in establishing values for property for ad valorem tax
50-14 purposes, and may not be used by the Comptroller of Public Accounts
50-15 for establishing property values under Subchapter M, Chapter 403,
50-16 Property Code.
50-17 (d) (1) When the board considers it necessary to accomplish
50-18 any of its purposes, including the removal of nonconforming uses
50-19 under a comprehensive zoning plan, the district may exercise the
50-20 right of eminent domain to acquire public or private property
50-21 located inside the district.
50-22 (2) The district may acquire or condemn property in
50-23 its entirety, or may acquire or condemn less than the entire estate
50-24 of property. If property is not currently used for a nonconforming
50-25 use, the board may elect to acquire the right of an owner to use
51-1 property for a nonconforming use. Any landowner whose property is
51-2 conveyed to the district, whether through sale or the exercise of
51-3 the power of eminent domain, shall have the right but not the duty
51-4 to save and except from such conveyance any private roads which
51-5 provide the landowner access to portions of the landowner's
51-6 property which are not conveyed to the district.
51-7 (3) An exercise of the power of eminent domain granted
51-8 by this Section is governed by Chapter 21, of the Texas Property
51-9 Code, except that the district shall not be required to give bond
51-10 for appeal or bond for costs under Sections 21.021(a)(2) and (3) of
51-11 the Texas Property Code in any condemnation suit or other suit to
51-12 which it is a party and shall not be required to deposit more than
51-13 the amount of any award in any suit.
51-14 (4) In the event that the amount of damages due to the
51-15 landowner under Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code is not
51-16 sufficient to allow a landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable
51-17 replacement dwelling or structure, then under Section 21.046 of the
51-18 Texas Property Code, the district shall pay to the landowner an
51-19 additional amount which, when added to the amount of damages under
51-20 Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code, will be sufficient to
51-21 allow the landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable replacement
51-22 dwelling or structure.
51-23 (e) (1) The district may adopt regulations governing the
51-24 businesses, whether commercial or industrial, within the boundaries
51-25 of the district and rules to enforce such regulations to the extent
52-1 that the city could otherwise adopt such regulations and rules, but
52-2 any regulations and rules adopted by the district, including
52-3 restrictions or regulations governing zoning, will be uniform in
52-4 application within the boundaries of the district and will
52-5 encourage the use of land within the district for industrial and
52-6 compatible purposes. No regulations within the district, including
52-7 zoning regulations, will affect agricultural uses of property
52-8 within the district.
52-9 (2) The district may adopt regulations that regulate
52-10 the health, safety and general welfare of residents and property
52-11 owners within the district, including land use and zoning
52-12 regulations. If the district adopts regulations and those
52-13 regulations are approved by the governing body of the city by
52-14 ordinance, then the city may not thereafter adopt an ordinance
52-15 regulating the matters regulated by the district. In adopting
52-16 this section, it is the intention of the legislature that only one
52-17 entity be responsible for regulating matters of the district, and
52-18 after regulations are approved by the city, further oversight by
52-19 the city of the matters regulated by the district is duplicative of
52-20 the district's regulatory authority and an unnecessary burden on
52-21 the residents and property owners in the district.
52-22 (f) If the district, in exercising a power conferred by this
52-23 Act, requires a relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering,
52-24 rerouting, or changing the grade of or altering the construction of
52-25 any street, alley, highway, overpass, underpass, road, railroad
53-1 track, bridge, facility or property, electric line, conduit,
53-2 facility or property, telephone or telegraph line, conduit,
53-3 facility or property, gas transmission or distribution pipe,
53-4 pipeline, main, facility or property, water, sanitary sewer or
53-5 storm sewer pipe, pipeline, main, facility or property, cable
53-6 television line, cable, conduit, facility or property, or other
53-7 pipeline or facility or property relating to the pipeline, that
53-8 relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering, rerouting, changing of
53-9 grade, or altering of construction must be accomplished at the sole
53-10 cost and expense of the district, and damages that are suffered by
53-11 owners of the property or facilities shall be borne by the
53-12 district.
53-13 (g) The district shall have no right to permanently close
53-14 any existing public roads or to otherwise impede public access to
53-15 existing public roads, except in connection with temporary closures
53-16 for repair of district facilities.
53-17 (h) Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing in this
53-18 Act shall authorize the district to exercise any regulatory
53-19 authority, including zoning authority, outside of the boundaries of
53-20 the district, and under no circumstances or for any purpose shall
53-21 any area outside of the boundaries of the district be deemed or
53-22 designated as extraterritorial to the district.
53-23 SECTION 9. TORT CLAIMS. The district is a unit of
53-24 government for purposes of Chapter 101, Civil Practice and Remedies
53-25 Code. The operations of the district are essential governmental
54-1 functions for all purposes and not proprietary functions.
54-2 SECTION 10. EXCLUDING TERRITORY. (a) At any time, the
54-3 board may on its own motion call a hearing on the question of the
54-4 exclusion of land from the district as provided in Chapters 49 and
54-5 54 of the Water Code, if the exclusions are practicable, just, or
54-6 desirable.
54-7 (b) The board must call a hearing on the exclusion of land
54-8 or other property from the district on the written petition of any
54-9 landowner or property owner in the district filed with the
54-10 secretary of the board before the issuance of bonds has been
54-11 authorized.
54-12 SECTION 11. AD VALOREM TAXES. The district may:
54-13 (a) levy ad valorem taxes to pay the costs of acquiring
54-14 property in accordance with this Act and to pay principal,
54-15 interest, and the redemption price on bonds, notes, or other
54-16 obligations of the district issued for a district corporate
54-17 purpose; and
54-18 (b) levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax on taxable
54-19 property in the district for maintenance, operation, and upkeep of
54-20 the district and the property acquired by the district and the
54-21 provision of services to industrial and commercial businesses and
54-22 property owners.
54-23 Chapter 375, Local Government Code, and the Tax Code shall
54-24 govern the powers and procedures of the district to levy and
54-25 collect ad valorem taxes and penalties, interest, and collection
55-1 charges thereon and the remedies of taxpayers.
55-2 The board may not levy or collect assessments.
55-3 SECTION 12. BONDS, NOTES, AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. (a) The
55-4 district may issue its bonds or other obligations secured by
55-5 revenues (whether from provision of services or by contract with
55-6 public or private entities), by the levy of ad valorem taxes (which
55-7 shall be unlimited in rate or amount), grants, gifts, contracts,
55-8 leases, or any combination thereof. Obligations of the district
55-9 may be issued in the form of bonds, notes, certificates of
55-10 participation, including other instruments evidencing a
55-11 proportionate interest in payments to be made by the district, or
55-12 other obligations that are issued in the exercise of the district's
55-13 borrowing power and may be issued in bearer or registered form or
55-14 otherwise issued in the name of a specific purchaser, or not
55-15 represented by an instrument but the transfer of which is
55-16 registered on books maintained by or on behalf of the district.
55-17 (b) Bonds may be issued in accordance with the provisions of
55-18 Chapter 375, Local Government Code.
55-19 (c) If so provided in the bond order or resolution, the
55-20 proceeds from the sale of the bonds or other obligations of the

55-22 the period of the acquisition or construction of any improvement to
55-23 be provided through the issuance of the bonds or obligations, for
55-24 creating a reserve fund for the payment of the principal of and

56-12 extent required by Article 717k-8, Revised Civil Statutes.
56-13 (e) All bonds or other obligations of the district are legal
