§ 13.104. ELECTION. (a) Not later than the 30th day after
the date the commissioners court receives a petition under this

election to be held on the same date in each district.
(b) The ballot shall be printed to permit voting for or
against the proposition: "Creation of a new school district that
includes the following territory from the _________ School
District: ___________________." The ballot description of the
territory to be detached must be sufficient to give general notice
of the territory affected.
(c) An election on the detachment of the territory and
creation of a new district has no effect unless at least 25 percent
of the registered voters of each district vote in the election in
which the issue is on the ballot.
(d) The boards of trustees shall report the results of the
election to the appropriate commissioners courts, which shall
declare the results of the election. The new school district is
created only if the proposition receives:
(1) a majority of the votes in the territory to be
detached; and
(2) a majority of the votes in the remaining territory
in each district from which property is to be detached in the manner
prescribed by Section 13.003.
