Just to confuse matters a little more, if I'm understanding this correctly, it appears the only 'citizens' eligible to vote will be those that were within the city limits as they existed two years ago ... not that it matters.
http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/laws/liquorelections.shtmlIf a justice precinct establishes a local option liquor status and its boundaries subsequently have changed, must an election to change the status of the area encompassed by the former justice precinct's boundaries be held in that area? [Sec. 251.80, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code].
Yes. Sec. 251.80 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code provides:
Whenever a local option status is once legally put into effect as the result of the vote in a justice precinct, such status shall remain in effect until the status is changed as the result of a vote in the same territory that comprised the [justice] precinct when such status was established. If the boundaries of the justice precinct have changed since such status was established, the commissioners court shall, for purposes of a local option election, define the boundaries of the original precinct . . . .
