43-22 (f) The commissioners court of the county may remove a
43-23 director for misconduct or failure to carry out his duties upon
43-24 petition by a majority of the remaining directors.
43-25 (g) As soon as practicable after a director is appointed, he
44-1 shall execute a bond for $10,000 payable to the district and
44-2 conditioned on the faithful performance of his duties. All bonds
44-3 of the directors shall be approved by the board, and each director
44-4 shall take the oath of office prescribed by the constitution for
44-5 public officers. The bond and oath shall be filed with the
44-6 district and retained in its records.
44-7 (h) After the directors have been appointed and have
44-8 qualified by executing a bond and taking the proper oath, they
44-9 shall organize by electing a president, a vice-president, a
44-10 secretary, and any other officers as in the judgment of the board
44-11 are considered necessary.

44-16 (j) The board is governed by Chapter 375, Local Government
44-17 Code, to the extent that such chapter does not conflict with this
44-18 Act, and specifically excluding Section 375.169 of such Chapter. A
44-19 person who qualifies to serve on the board is qualified to serve as
44-20 a director and participate in all votes pertaining to the business
44-21 of the district regardless of any other statutory provision to the
44-22 contrary. A director who has a beneficial interest in a business
44-23 entity that will receive a pecuniary benefit from an action of the
44-24 board may participate in discussion and vote on that action if a
44-25 majority of the board has a similar interest in the same action or
45-1 if all other similar business entities in the district will receive
45-2 a similar pecuniary benefit. An employee of a public entity may
45-3 serve on the board, but the public employee may not participate in
45-4 the discussion of or vote on any matter regarding contracts with
45-5 the public entity of which the director is an employee.
45-6 (k) Directors may be compensated in the manner provided by
45-7 Section 49.060, Water Code.
45-8 SECTION 6. PURPOSES. The district is created to:
45-9 (a) regulate land use in the district to preserve, protect,
45-10 and enhance the area in the district for industrial and other
45-11 conforming uses;
45-12 (b) acquire property in the district which is not in
45-13 conformity with the district's zoning regulations or comprehensive
45-14 plan by purchase, lease, or eminent domain, and sell or lease or
45-15 otherwise dispose of such property, with or without taking
45-16 competitive bids or competitive proposals, upon such terms and
45-17 conditions as the board deems appropriate, and may at the request
45-18 of the landowner or landowners, acquire property which is in
45-19 conformity with the district's zoning regulations and comprehensive
45-20 plan;
45-21 (c) exercise such regulatory authority over businesses,
45-22 whether commercial or industrial, within the boundaries of the
45-23 district as could otherwise be exercised by the city; and
45-24 (d) contract with the city, the county, or any other
45-25 political subdivision, which now or hereafter includes all or any
46-1 part of the district, to provide police power regulatory services
46-2 for the city, the county, or other political subdivision on such
46-3 terms and conditions as the parties agree, and to aid and assist
46-4 the city, the county, and other overlapping political subdivisions
46-5 with one or more projects.
46-6 SECTION 7. POWERS. (a) In addition to the specific
46-7 additional rights, powers, privileges, authority, and functions set
46-8 forth herein, the district has all of the rights, powers,
46-9 privileges, authority, and functions conferred by the general laws
46-10 of this state applicable to districts created under Chapter 375,
46-11 Local Government Code, which are necessary and convenient to
46-12 accomplish the purposes set forth in Section 6 of this Act.
46-13 (b) If any provision of any referenced law is in conflict
46-14 with or is inconsistent with this Act, this Act prevails. All laws
46-15 or provisions of laws referenced in this Act, and subsequent
46-16 amendments of those laws, are adopted and incorporated into this
46-17 Act for all purposes and may be used by the district independently
46-18 of each other.
46-19 SECTION 8. ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC POWERS AND DUTIES. (a) In
46-20 addition to the rights, powers, privileges, authority, and
46-21 functions set forth in Section 6 of this Act, the district has and
46-22 the board may undertake the additional rights, powers, privileges,
46-23 authority, and functions set forth in this section.
46-24 (b) (1) Except as described in this Subsection (b), the
46-25 board may exercise the power granted by Chapter 211, Local
47-1 Government Code, to the governing body of a general law
47-2 municipality to restrict the use or uses of property in the
47-3 district. In exercising their powers, the board shall follow the
47-4 procedures in Chapter 211, Local Government Code, applicable to a
47-5 general law municipality, including the provisions applicable to
47-6 the adoption of a comprehensive plan and the appointment of a
47-7 zoning commission and a board of adjustment.
47-8 (2) No restrictions on the use of property within the
47-9 district will be effective, until 30 days after the governing body
47-10 of the city certifies that each owner of land which the board
47-11 determines is then used for a nonconforming use has received an
47-12 offer for purchase of the affected estate of the land pursuant to
47-13 Subsection (c) of this section from the board.
47-14 (3) If the board is ultimately dissolved by the city,
47-15 or otherwise under Section 17 hereof, then such restrictions shall
47-16 be treated as if they has been adopted by the governing body of the
47-17 city.
47-18 (4) After initial adoption of zoning restrictions and
47-19 a comprehensive plan by the board, no additional changes to the
47-20 plan or other restrictions of uses of property within the district
47-21 shall be imposed without the consent of the governing body of the
47-22 city.
47-23 (c) (1) After adoption of zoning restrictions and a
47-24 comprehensive plan by the board, the district will acquire any real
47-25 property, including improvements thereon, which are used for
48-1 purposes that are nonconforming to the uses permitted by the
48-2 district's zoning regulations or comprehensive plan, and may
48-3 acquire any personal property which is currently being used or
48-4 which may in the future be used for purposes that are nonconforming
48-5 to the uses permitted by the district's zoning regulations and
48-6 comprehensive plan. The district may hold, improve, clear, or
48-7 otherwise prepare the property so acquired for redevelopment or
48-8 development, mortgage or otherwise encumber or dispose of or sell
48-9 the property, insure or provide for the insurance of the property,
48-10 and enter into any other contracts or agreements with respect to
48-11 such property. To the extent the district has funds available for
48-12 such purpose, the district shall acquire nonconforming residential
48-13 property and, after acquisition of such nonconforming residential
48-14 property, may acquire at the owners request nonconforming
48-15 nonresidential property or the property held for future conforming
48-16 or nonconforming uses. The district may use the proceeds of its
48-17 bonds to carry out the purposes of this Act.
48-18 (2) Property purchased pursuant to this Subsection (c)
48-19 shall be purchased by application of a formula or formulas to be
48-20 established by the board prior to confirmation of the district's
48-21 creation, which formula or formulas must be on file in the City
48-22 Hall of the city, during a period commencing 30 days prior to the
48-23 confirmation of the district's creation, and which formula or
48-24 formulas shall be confirmed as part of the confirmation of the
48-25 district's creation. To establish the purchase price for property
49-1 within the district, the formula or formulas adopted by the board
49-2 may include such elements as the board determines, including the
49-3 type and estate of land and current use of the property, the
49-4 replacement cost of houses, mobile homes, or businesses, the
49-5 replacement costs of barns, carports, sheds, pump houses, or other
49-6 outbuildings, an allowance for the replacement of pools, spas,
49-7 decks, patios, ornamental fencing, specimen trees, or other
49-8 amenities, moving costs, including moving costs for mobile homes,
49-9 utility connection fees, and disruption or relocation costs for
49-10 residents or businesses.
49-11 (3) In addition to the purchase price for property,
49-12 the district may pay the relocation costs for single family
49-13 tenants, including tenants with mobile homes, in connection with
49-14 the purchase of rental property. The formula for relocation cost
49-15 payments to tenants must also be confirmed as part of the
49-16 confirmation of the district's creation, and may include moving
49-17 payments, including the cost of moving mobile homes, utility
49-18 connection fees, security deposits and rental deposits, and
49-19 disruption/relocation fees.
49-20 (4) In addition to the purchase price for property,
49-21 the district may pay the relocation costs for businesses, including
49-22 moving payments, signage and other amenity replacement costs,
49-23 utility connections fees, security deposits and rental deposits,
49-24 and disruption/relocation fees.
49-25 (5) The purchase prices paid for property within the
50-1 district may not be considered by the Chambers County Appraisal
50-2 District in establishing values for property for ad valorem tax
50-3 purposes, and may not be used by the Comptroller of Public Accounts
50-4 for establishing property values under Subchapter M, Chapter 403,
50-5 Property Code.
50-6 (d) (1) When the board considers it necessary to accomplish
50-7 any of its purposes, including the removal of nonconforming uses
50-8 under a comprehensive zoning plan, the district may exercise the
50-9 right of eminent domain to acquire public or private property
50-10 located inside the district.
50-11 (2) The district may acquire or condemn property in
50-12 its entirety, or may acquire or condemn less than the entire estate
50-13 of property. If property is not currently used for a nonconforming
50-14 use, the board may elect to acquire the right of an owner to use
50-15 property for a nonconforming use. Any landowner whose property is
50-16 conveyed to the district, whether through sale or the exercise of
50-17 the power of eminent domain, shall have the right but not the duty
50-18 to save and except from such conveyance any private roads which
50-19 provide the landowner access to portions of the landowner's
50-20 property which are not conveyed to the district.
50-21 (3) An exercise of the power of eminent domain granted
50-22 by this Section is governed by Chapter 21 of the Texas Property
50-23 Code, except that the district shall not be required to give bond
50-24 for appeal or bond for costs under Section 21.021(a)(2) and (3) of
50-25 the Texas Property Code in any condemnation suit or other suit to
51-1 which it is a party and shall not be required to deposit more than
51-2 the amount of any award in any suit.
51-3 (4) In the event that the amount of damages due to the
51-4 landowner under Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code is not
51-5 sufficient to allow a landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable
51-6 replacement dwelling or structure, then under Section 21.046 of the
51-7 Texas Property Code, the district shall pay to the landowner an
51-8 additional amount which, when added to the amount of damages under
51-9 Section 21.042 of the Texas Property Code, will be sufficient to
51-10 allow the landowner to obtain a reasonably comparable replacement
51-11 dwelling or structure.
51-12 (e) (1) The district may adopt regulations governing the
51-13 businesses, whether commercial or industrial, within the boundaries
51-14 of the district and rules to enforce such regulations to the extent
51-15 that the city could otherwise adopt such regulations and rules, but
51-16 any regulations and rules adopted by the district, including
51-17 restrictions or regulations governing zoning, will be uniform in
51-18 application within the boundaries of the district and will
51-19 encourage the use of land within the district for industrial and
51-20 compatible purposes. No regulations within the district, including
51-21 zoning regulations, will affect agricultural uses of property
51-22 within the district.
51-23 (2) The district may adopt regulations that regulate
51-24 the health, safety and general welfare of residents and property
51-25 owners within the district, including land use and zoning
52-1 regulations. If the district adopts regulations and those
52-2 regulations are approved by the governing body of the city by
52-3 ordinance, then the city may not thereafter adopt an ordinance
52-4 regulating the matters regulated by the district. In adopting this
52-5 section, it is the intention of the legislature that only one
52-6 entity be responsible for regulating matters of the district, and
52-7 after regulations are approved by the city, further oversight by
52-8 the city of the matters regulated by the district is duplicative of
52-9 the district's regulatory authority and an unnecessary burden on
52-10 the residents and property owners in the district.
52-11 (f) If the district, in exercising a power conferred by this
52-12 Act, requires a relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering,
52-13 rerouting, or changing the grade of or altering the construction of
52-14 any street, alley, highway, overpass, underpass, road, railroad
52-15 track, bridge, facility or property, electric line, conduit,
52-16 facility or property, telephone or telegraph line, conduit,
52-17 facility or property, gas transmission or distribution pipe,
52-18 pipeline, main, facility or property, water, sanitary sewer or
52-19 storm sewer pipe, pipeline, main, facility or property, cable
52-20 television line, cable, conduit, facility or property, or other
52-21 pipeline or facility or property relating to the pipeline, that
52-22 relocation, adjustment, raising, lowering, rerouting, changing of
52-23 grade, or altering of construction must be accomplished at the sole
52-24 cost and expense of the district, and damages that are suffered by
52-25 owners of the property or facilities shall be borne by the
53-1 district.
53-2 (g) The district shall have no right to permanently close
53-3 any existing public roads or to otherwise impede public access to
53-4 existing public roads, except in connection with temporary closures
53-5 for repair of district facilities.
53-6 (h) Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing in this
53-7 Act shall authorize the district to exercise any regulatory
53-8 authority, including zoning authority, outside of the boundaries of
53-9 the district, and under no circumstances or for any purpose shall
53-10 any area outside of the boundaries of the district be deemed or
53-11 designated as extraterritorial to the district.
53-12 SECTION 9. TORT CLAIMS. The district is a unit of government
53-13 for purposes of Chapter 101, Civil Practice and Remedies Code. The
53-14 operations of the district are essential governmental functions for
53-15 all purposes and not proprietary functions.
53-16 SECTION 10. EXCLUDING TERRITORY. (a) At any time, the
53-17 board may on its own motion call a hearing on the question of the
53-18 exclusion of land from the district as provided in Chapters 49 and
53-19 54 of the Water Code, if the exclusions are practicable, just, or
53-20 desirable.
53-21 (b) The board must call a hearing on the exclusion of land
53-22 or other property from the district on the written petition of any
53-23 landowner or property owner in the district filed with the
53-24 secretary of the board before the issuance of bonds has been
53-25 authorized.
54-1 SECTION 11. AD VALOREM TAXES. The district may:
54-2 (a) levy ad valorem taxes to pay the costs of acquiring
54-3 property in accordance with this Act and to pay principal,
54-4 interest, and the redemption price on bonds, notes, or other
54-5 obligations of the district issued for a district corporate
54-6 purpose; and
54-7 (b) levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax on taxable
54-8 property in the district for maintenance, operation, and upkeep of
54-9 the district and the property acquired by the district and the
54-10 provision of services to industrial and commercial businesses and
54-11 property owners.
54-12 Chapter 375, Local Government Code, and the Tax Code shall
54-13 govern the powers and procedures of the district to levy and
54-14 collect ad valorem taxes and penalties, interest, and collection
54-15 charges thereon and the remedies of taxpayers.
54-16 The board may not levy or collect assessments.
54-17 SECTION 12. BONDS, NOTES, AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. (a) The
54-18 district may issue its bonds or other obligations secured by

54-21 shall be unlimited in rate or amount), grants, gifts, contracts,
54-22 leases, or any combination thereof. Obligations of the district may
54-23 be issued in the form of bonds, notes, certificates of
54-24 participation, including other instruments evidencing a
54-25 proportionate interest in payments to be made by the district, or

55-2 borrowing power and may be issued in bearer or registered form or
55-3 otherwise issued in the name of a specific purchaser, or not
55-4 represented by an instrument but the transfer of which is
55-5 registered on books maintained by or on behalf of the district.
55-6 (b) Bonds may be issued in accordance with the provisions of
55-7 Chapter 375, Local Government Code.
55-8 (c) If so provided in the bond order or resolution, the
55-9 proceeds from the sale of the bonds or other obligations of the

56-2 (e) All bonds or other obligations of the district are legal
