Texas Election Code - ELEC § 213.033. Canvass Following Recount

(a) As soon as practicable after completion of a recount that changes the number of votes received for a particular candidate or for or against a measure, the canvassing authority shall conduct a canvass for the office or measure involved using the recount committee's report in the recount supervisor's possession, instead of the original precinct election returns, for each precinct in which a recount was conducted.  An original canvass for the office or measure is void, and the new canvass is the official canvass for the election on that office or measure.  If no change occurs in the recount in the number of votes received for a candidate or for or against a measure, the official result of the election is determined from the original canvass.

(b) In a recount of an election in which there is more than one local canvassing authority, the result of the canvass conducted under this section shall be reported to the other canvassing authorities in the same manner as the result of an original canvass.

(c) The appropriate authority shall take any further action that may be necessary in the same manner as for an original canvass.
