BOUNDARIES
CHAPTER 35 34
S. B. No. 158
An Act to require that in all counties having a population of not less than 36,799
and not more than 38,500, according to the last preceding Federal Census, no
change shall be made in the territory of any independent school district
therein having more than 500 scholastics, unless such change be consented
to by the Board of Trustees of the district from which the territory is sought
to be detached; prescribing the method of evidencing the consent of such
district; and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
Section 1. In all counties in this state having a population of not less
than 36,799 and not more than 38,500, according to the last preceding Fed-
eral Census, the territory of any independent school district therein having
a scholastic population of more than 500 shall not be changed without the
consent of its Board of Trustees. Such consent shall be evidenced by an
appropriate resolution of the Board of Trustees of such district properly
certified by its secretary, and filed with the County Clerk of the county in
which such school district is situated. Such resolution shall be recorded
in the "Record of School Districts," or in the Deed Records of said county,
as may be appropriate.
Sec. 2. The fact that school taxes for local maintenance and for the
payment of principal and interest on outstanding bonds cannot be levied in
the newly attached territory of any school district until an election has
been held over the entire district, including such annexed territory; and
the further fact that changes in the boundaries of such districts tend to
disrupt the budget provisions of the district from which the territory is
to be detached, and that such changes in boundaries interfere with the
proper administration of the schools of the district from which the de-
tachment is made, thereby creating confusion, uncertainty and extra ex-
pense to such districts; and the fact that there is not now any law safe-
guarding such districts, create an emergency and an imperative public
necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read on three
several days in each House be suspended, and said Rule is hereby sus-
pended; and that this Act shall take effect and be in force from and after
its passage, and it is so enacted.
Passed the Senate, January 28, 1963: Yeas 28, Nays 0; passed the
House, March 21, 1963: Yeas 144, Nays 0.
Approved March 30, 1963.
Effective March 30, 1963.
