§ 13.052. DORMANT SCHOOL DISTRICTS. (a) If the
commissioner determines that a school district has failed to
operate a school for a full school year, the commissioner shall
report to each appropriate commissioners court that the district is
dormant.
(b) The commissioners court of a county shall by order annex
each dormant school district within the county with an adjoining
district or districts. If the dormant district is a county-line
district, the commissioners court of each county in which the
district is located shall annex the territory of the dormant
district that is within that county. The commissioners court may
annex territory to a school district only if the board of trustees
of that district approves the annexation.
(c) The governing board of the district to which a dormant
school district is annexed is the governing board for the new
district.
(d) The order of the commissioners court shall define by
legal boundary description the territory of the new district as
enlarged and shall be recorded in the minutes of the commissioners
court.
(e) Title to the real property of the dormant district vests
in the district to which the property is annexed. Each district to
which territory is annexed assumes and is liable for any portion of
the dormant district's indebtedness that is allocated to the
receiving district under Section 13.004.
