Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code - ALCO BEV § 251.80. Change in Precinct Boundaries

(a) A local option election held in a justice precinct shall be held in the territory comprising the justice precinct at the time the election is held. If a justice precinct has established a local option status as a result of a previous local option election in the justice precinct, such status shall remain in effect until the status is changed as the result of a subsequent local option election in the precinct. If the boundaries of the justice precinct have changed since such status was established, a subsequent local option election will only change the local option status in the territory that is part of the justice precinct on the date of the subsequent local option election.

(a-1) For purposes of a local option election, a newly created justice precinct shall be considered to have not held a local option election on the sale of alcoholic beverages. Any local option status established in the territory comprising the new justice precinct that resulted from a local option election held in the territory when the territory was part of another justice precinct remains in effect until that status is changed by a local option election held in the new justice precinct.

(b) Nothing in this section is intended to affect the operation of Section 251.73 of this code.

(c) Repealed by Acts 2013, 83rd Leg., ch. 1298 (H.B. 2818), § 6.
