Sec. 68.401. PETITION BY BOARD TO ADD TERRITORY AND FACILITIES. (a) A board may petition the commissioners court of the county that created the district to add to the district territory that contains a facility in the county if the board finds that a security project or security service in the district benefits or will benefit the facility.

(b) The petition must describe:

(1) the territory to be added;

(2) the facilities in the territory to be added; and

(3) the total territory of the district after the addition of the territory.

(c) The petition must recommend a security zone in which the facility to be added should be included. The board may recommend modifying one or more security zones as necessary to add the facility. The board of a district that has four security zones may also recommend adding a fifth security zone as necessary to add the new facility. The recommendation must also note whether the security zone of any facilities will change if the petition is granted.

(d) If any part of an assessment imposed by the board is allocable to the facility to be added, the petition must describe the portion, amount, and payment terms of the portion of the assessment that is allocable to the facility.
