Sec. 6903.053. PETITION FOR ANNEXATION; BOARD FINDINGS AND RESOLUTION. (a) The board may annex territory under this subchapter if a petition requesting annexation is signed by 50 registered voters of the territory to be annexed who own taxable property in that territory, or a majority of the registered voters of that territory who own taxable property in that territory, and is filed with the board. The petition must describe the territory to be annexed by metes and bounds, or otherwise, except that if the territory is the same as that contained in a municipality, the petition is sufficient if it states that the territory to be annexed is the territory contained in the municipality.
(b) If the board determines that the petition complies with Subsection (a), that the annexation would be in the interest of the district, and that the district will be able to supply water to the territory, the board shall adopt a resolution:
(1) stating the conditions, if any, under which the territory may be annexed to the district; and
(2) requesting the commissioners court to annex the territory to the district.
(c) A certified copy of the resolution and petition shall be filed with the commissioners court.
