Local Government Code § 334.0236

Sec. 334.0236. APPEAL OF AUTHORITY DETERMINATION. (a) If a rapid transit authority determines under Section 334.0235 that implementation of the resolution will have a significant negative impact on the authority's ability to provide services or will impair an existing contract, the municipality or county may contest the finding by filing an appeal with the authority not later than the 10th day after the date the municipality or county receives the written notice under Section 334.0235. (b) Before the 11th day after the date the rapid transit authority receives the appeal under Subsection (a), the authority shall perform a new analysis to determine if implementation of the resolution will have a significant negative impact on the authority's ability to provide services or will impair an existing contract and provide to the municipality or county written notice of the results of the analysis. (c) If the authority again determines that implementation will have a significant negative impact on the authority's ability to provide services or will impair an existing contract, the written analysis required under Subsection (b) must include additional information on how to change the resolution so that implementation will not have a significant negative impact on the authority's ability to provide services and will not impair an existing contract. (d) If the rapid transit authority does not comply with Subsection (b) before the 11th day after the date the authority receives the appeal or request for information, the authority is considered to have determined that approval and implementation of the resolution will not have a significant negative impact on the authority's ability to provide services and will not impair any existing contracts.
