THE STATE OF TEXAS §
THE COUNTY OF BRAZOS §
BRAZOS COUNTY ORDER APPROVING THE REDISTRICTING OF
COMMISSIONER, JUSTICE AND ELECTION PRECINCTS TO PROVIDE FOR A
PUBLIC BUILDING POLLING LOCATION IN ELECTION PRECINCT 24, AND FOR
THIS PURPOSE AMENDING AFFECTED COMMISSIONER, JUSTICE AND
ELECTION PRECINCT BOUNDARY LINES; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, Brazos County (the "County ") engaged the law firm of Bickerstaff Heath
Delgado Acosta LLP to act as the County's redistricting consultant, including advising and
assisting the County in the preparation of modified redistricting plans for commissioner, justice
and election precincts in compliance with applicable state and federal law;
WHEREAS, current Election Precinct 24, located in Commissioner and Justice Precincts
2 (the commissioner and justice precinct boundaries are coterminous in this area), is without a
building suitable for a polling place;
WHEREAS, a City of College Station ( "City ") fire station, Fire Station 6 (the "Fire
Station "), located on the southeast corner of the intersection of University Drive East and Tarmw
Street, address 610 University Drive East, in College Station, as described in Exhibit 1 to this
Order (the "Fire Station Parcel "), is located in current Election Precinct 34, which itself is in
Commissioner and Justice Precincts 3;
WHEREAS, the City is willing to permit the County to use the Fire Station as a polling
location;
WHEREAS, to do so, the County must reconfigure Election Precincts 24 and 34 so that
the Fire Station Parcel is transferred from Election Precinct 34 to Election Precinct 24, and
concomitantly must also transfer the Fire Station Parcel from Commissioner and Justice
Precincts 3 to Commissioner and Justice Precincts 2, as depicted in Exhibit 2 to this Order;
WHEREAS, Texas Election Code section 42.031(b)(3) permits a Commissioners Court
to order a change in election precinct configuration at a time other than March or April of a given
year, if the change is made in order to include within an election precinct a building suitable for
use as a polling location if no suitable building is available in the existing election precinct;
WHEREAS, Texas Election Code section 42.033(b) permits the Commissioners Court to
order an effective date for such a change in election precinct configuration if (1) there is to be an
election for an officer of a Texas Election Code section 42.005 territorial unit, the election is to
occur before the usual effective date specified by Texas Election Code section 42.033(a) for
changes to election precincts, and the territorial unit contains the election precinct as changed:
and (2) the voter registrar has time to correct the registration records before the effective date of
[Vol.--
. / 1fJ Pg.�
the change;
WHEREAS, Texas Election Code section 42.003(c) permits the Commissioners Court
to make such a change in election precinct configuration, i.e., to provide for a building suitable
for a polling location in the election precinct, between the date of the general primary election
and the date of the general election for state and county officers;
WHEREAS, there is need for the proposed change to be and become effective in time
for the November 2013 election so that Election Precinct 24 will have a suitable location for a
polling place for that election;
WHEREAS, establishing an effective date for the proposed change that will permit the
Fire Station to be used as a polling location in Election Precinct 24 for the November 2013
election is necessary to accomplish this purpose;
WHEREAS, the requirement that the voter registrar have sufficient time to correct the
registration records before the effective date is satisfied, since no voters are resident in the Fire
Station Parcel, and no voter registrations will be affected by the proposed change;
WHEREAS, there is an election in a territorial entity of the type specified in Texas
Election Code section 42.005 in the November 2013 election, namely, the City of College
Station; and since affected City Council elections include at -large positions, the area from which
City officers will be elected includes Election Precinct 24 as changed;
WHEREAS, the Commissioners Court finds that the proposed change, to provide a
building suitable for a polling location for Election Precinct 24, is necessary and convenient for
the County and its citizens and voters; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioners Court finds that the modification to the current
commissioner and justice precincts plans and to the current election precinct plan is necessary,
convenient, and in the best interest of the citizens of Brazos County, and is believed to comply
with all state and federal requirements;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED BY THE
COMMISSIONERS COURT OF BRAZOS COUNTY, TEXAS:
A. That the Commissioners Court makes the fact findings contained in the recitations
stated above, which are incorporated into this Order as legislative fact findings;
