Sec. 6.03 of the Texas Property Tax Code describes the procedure to follow during Board
of Director nomination and election and is more specifically described in subsection (d) as follows:
(d) The voting entitlement of a taxing unit that is entitled to vote for directors is determined by
dividing the total dollar amount of property taxes imposed in the district by the taxing unit for
the preceding tax year by the sum of the total dollar amount of property taxes imposed in the
district for that year by each taxing unit that is entitled to vote, by multiplying the quotient by
1000 and by rounding the product to the nearest whole number. That number is multiplied by
the number of directorships to be filled. A taxing unit participating in two or more districts is
entitled to vote in each district in which it participates,but only the taxes imposed in a district
are used to calculate voting entitlement in that district.
entitlement for Walker Count Jurisdictions is as follows:
