A contract or lease, other than a contract or lease in which the proceeds of the contract or lease are pledged to the payment of a bond, may be submitted to the attorney general along with the bond records, and, if reviewed and approved by the attorney general, the approval of the bonds shall constitute an approval of the contract or lease and the contract or lease shall be incontestable.(f) In any proceeding concerning the validity of the creation of a district or the annexation of property by a district, a certificate of ownership as certified by the central appraisal district of the county or counties in which the property is located creates a presumption of ownership, and additional proof of ownership is not required unless there is substantial evidence in the official deed records of the county in which the property is located to rebut the presumption. On request by a district, the central appraisal district of the county or counties in which the district is located shall furnish certificates of ownership and may charge reasonable fees to recover the actual costs incurred in preparing the certificates.Amended by Acts 2017, Texas Acts of the 85th Leg. - Regular Session, ch. 352,Sec. 1, eff. 9/1/2017.Amended by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1423, Sec. 11, eff. 6/17/2001.Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 715, Sec. 2, eff. 9/1/1995.
