The district is located in whole or in part in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Baytown. By law, a district located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality may be annexed without the consent of the district if the municipality complies with the procedures and requirements of Chapter 43, Texas Local Government Code, as amended. The law also provides that, except in very limited circumstances, a municipality may not annex land in its extraterritorial jurisdiction without the consent of the landowners and/or voters in the area proposed to be annexed. If all of the area in a district is annexed, the district is dissolved. If the district and a municipality are parties to a strategic partnership agreement specifying the procedures for full purpose annexation of all or a portion of the district, the terms of that agreement will apply concerning annexation.
