Tex. Special District Local Laws Code § 1070.152: PETITION TO ANNEX TERRITORY.

(a) A petition requesting that territory be annexed to the district may be presented to the board. The petition must:

(1) describe the tract or tracts of land to be annexed; and

(2) be signed by 100 or a majority of the registered voters who:

(A) reside in the territory to be annexed; and

(B) own property that will be subject to district taxation if the territory is annexed.

(b) This chapter does not prohibit simultaneous action on several petitions for annexation. Each ballot proposition must be submitted for each different territory proposed to be annexed, and an election held in each territory represented by a petition.

(c) If the board receives two or more petitions for annexation that include all or part of the same territory to be annexed to the district, the petition filed first with the board shall be considered and another petition that includes any of the same territory has no effect.

(d) The board may consider all petitions for annexation presented to it and may approve or reject each petition. The board may not partly approve or partly reject any petition.
