Sec. 201.051. DISSOLUTION OF CONSERVATION DISTRICT. (a) A conservation district may be dissolved by majority vote of the eligible voters in an election conducted in the manner provided by this subchapter for its creation. The board of directors of the conservation district shall notify the state board of the outcome of an election under this section.
(b) On receiving notice of a vote to dissolve a conservation district, the state board shall determine whether the conservation district should continue to operate. If the state board determines that continuing the operation of the conservation district is not administratively practicable and feasible, the state board shall deliver to the secretary of state certification of the district's dissolution.
(c) Certification by the state board to the secretary of state is sufficient notice of the dissolution of a conservation district. The secretary of state shall issue to the directors of the dissolved district a certificate of dissolution and shall record the fact of dissolution in the appropriate records of the secretary's office.
(d) On receiving a certificate of dissolution, the board of directors of the dissolved district shall terminate the affairs of the conservation district. The board shall transfer to the state board all property owned by the conservation district. The state board may:
(1) sell the property at a public auction and deposit the net proceeds of the sale in the State Treasury; or
(2) make the property available for use by other conservation districts.
(e) If the dissolution of a conservation district is for the purpose of adjusting the boundaries and the conservation district is immediately reorganized, the funds and equipment of the dissolved conservation district pass to the reorganized conservation district. If more than one conservation district is created under the reorganization, the funds and equipment of the dissolved conservation district shall be divided under terms satisfactory to the directors of the reorganized conservation districts.
(f) The state board may not conduct an election under this section for a conservation district before the end of the fifth year after the date of the last election under this section for that district.
