Territory of a junior college district that was annexed to the

2005, at which less than a majority of the registered voters in the 
territory who voted in the annexation election voted for the

provided by this section unless the district has outstanding bonded 
indebtedness that was incurred after the annexation of the 
territory.  The territory to be disannexed must include the entire 
territory annexed at the election.
	(b)  On presentation to the governing board of the junior 
college district of a petition proposing the disannexation of 
territory to the district, the governing board shall call an 
election on the question of disannexation.  The petition must:
		(1)  contain an accurate description of the territory 
proposed for disannexation; and
		(2)  be signed by 50 registered voters in the territory 
proposed to be disannexed or by a majority of the registered voters 
in that territory as of the most recent general election for state 
and county officers, whichever number is less.
	(c)  The governing board shall order the election to be held 
in the territory proposed for disannexation on the first authorized 
uniform election date that is not less than 45 days after the date 
of the order and that affords enough time to hold the election in 
the manner provided by law.  The board shall give notice of the 
election in the manner provided by law for notice by the county 
judge of a general election.
	(d)  The governing board shall conduct the election in 
accordance with the Election Code.
	(e)  The election shall be held only in the territory 
proposed for disannexation, and only those registered voters 
residing in that territory are permitted to vote.
	(f)  The ballot shall be printed to provide for voting for or 
against the proposition:  "Disannexation of the following 
territory:  __________", with the blank filled in with a 
description of the territory proposed for disannexation, "from the 
_____________ District", with the blank filled in with the name of 
the junior college district.
	(g)  The proposition is adopted if the proposition receives a 
favorable vote of a majority of those voters voting on the 
proposition.
	(h)  If the proposition is adopted, the governing board of 
the district shall enter an order declaring the result of the 
election and that the territory is disannexed from the junior 
college district on the date specified in the order.
	(i)  After a vote to disannex territory from a district, the 
governing board of the district shall continue to control and 
administer the property and other assets of the district located 
within the disannexed territory until all assets have been disposed 
of.
	(j)  The governing board of the district may not dispose of 
the district's assets located within the disannexed territory 
except for appropriate consideration unless the debts are 
transferred to another governmental entity or agency within or 
embracing the district and the transfer will benefit the district's 
citizens.
	(k)  The disannexation does not affect the authority of the 
district to enforce payment of taxes imposed by the district in the 
disannexed territory before the disannexation.
	(l)  An election to create a new junior college district or 
join an existing junior college district may not be held within the 
disannexed territory before the first anniversary of the date of 
disannexation.
