(a) POWER OF VETO OVERRIDE. The quorum court of each county shall have the power to override the veto of the county judge.
(b) VOTE REQUIRED. An affirmative vote of three-fifths ( 3/5 ) of the total membership of a quorum court shall be required to override the veto of any ordinance or amendment to an existing ordinance. On the consideration of a veto override by a court, the yeas and nays shall be called and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
(c) TIME OF VETO OVERRIDE. A quorum court shall exercise the power of veto override over permanent and temporary ordinances at the next regular session of the court following the written notification of veto. Failure to override a veto in a single vote of the court shall constitute a confirmation of veto by a court, and no further consideration of veto override on the measure shall be introduced in subsequent sessions of the court. However, any ordinance or amendment so vetoed and confirmed by failure to override the veto may be reintroduced in the manner prescribed by law for the introduction of ordinances and amendments to ordinances.
