County Attorney

Henderson, Texas

Opinion No. V-126

Re: Time element involved, if any, between elections for annexation of school districts to a junior college district.

Dear Sir:

We refer to your letter of recent date acknowledged by the Attorney General on March 25, 1947, wherein you requested to be advised concerning the time interval required, if any, between elections for annexation of school districts to an established junior college district.

Section 21 of Article 2815h, V.C.S., provides that common or independent school districts may be annexed to a junior college district for junior college purposes only by an election held in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of Article 2815h, V.O.S.

The terms of Section 2 or Section 21 of Article 2815h do not designate that any particular time element shall intervene between elections to annex school districts to a junior college district. Nor does the language used justify any implication of such legislative intent. You are accordingly advised.

SUMMARY

Article 2815h, Sections 2 and 21, V.O.S., do not provide that any time shall intervene between elections to annex common or independent school districts to a junior college district,
