The commissioners court that ordered creation of an existing

cents an acre may order an election to be held to determine whether
or not the maximum uniform assessment rate should be raised to six
cents an acre. The county clerk shall give notice in the manner
provided by Section 78.018 of this code and the commissioners court
shall conduct the election in the manner provided by Section 78.019
of this code.
(b) Ballots for the election must be printed to provide for
voting for or against the proposition: "Increasing the maximum
assessment rate to six cents."
(c) Immediately after the election, the election officers
shall forward the results to the commissioners court. The
commissioners court shall canvass the vote and declare the result
of the election.
(d) If the district is located entirely in one county, the
commissioners court shall issue an order declaring the increase of
the maximum uniform assessment to six cents an acre. If the
district is located in more than one county, the commissioners
court shall issue an order declaring the increase of the maximum
rate of assessment to six cents an acre only in those counties where
a majority of votes cast are for the proposition.
