(a) Subchapter L, Chapter 49, Water Code, applies to the district.

(b) Except as provided in Subsection (c) and subject to Subsection (d), the district has the same rights and powers as a municipality annexing territory in a district that provides firefighting or emergency medical services to cause all or part of the territory in the district to be removed from a district providing firefighting or emergency medical services.

(c) The district may cause the removal of territory under Subsection (b) whether or not that territory was originally included in or subsequently annexed into the district.

(d) The district's right to cause the removal of territory under this section shall be subject to a mutually satisfactory agreement under Chapter 791, Government Code, or other applicable law, between the district and a district that provides firefighting or emergency medical services from which the territory will be removed, which may include terms for the payment of funds from current revenues of the district for the continued provision of firefighting or emergency medical services or such other lawful terms that the parties consider appropriate.

(e) The removal of territory under this section does not diminish or impair the rights of the holders of any outstanding and unpaid bonds, warrants, or other obligations, including loans and lease-purchase agreements, of the district from which the territory was removed.
