(a) If a municipality enacts an ordinance to annex a special district and assumes control and operation of utilities within the district, and the annexation is invalidated by a final judgment of a court after all appeals have been exhausted, the municipality is deemed, by enactment of its annexation ordinance, to have acquired title to utilities owned by a developer within the special district and is obligated to pay the developer all amounts related to the utilities as provided in § 43.0715.
(b) Upon resumption of the functions of the special district:
(1) the municipality shall succeed to the contractual rights of the developer to be reimbursed by the special district for the utilities the municipality acquires from the developer; and
(2) the special district shall resume the use of the utilities acquired and paid for by the municipality and shall thereafter acquire the utilities from the municipality and reimburse the municipality for amounts the municipality paid the developer. The payment to the municipality shall be governed by the requirements of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission.
