Tex. Agric. Code Section 143.055
Subsequent Elections to Adopt or Repeal Free Range

(a)

Except as provided by Subsection (b) of this section, if an election is held under this subchapter another election for the purpose of adopting or repealing the limited period of free range may not be held in that county or area within two years after the date of the election.

(b)

If the limited period of free range is defeated at a countywide election, this section does not prohibit another election on the proposition from being held immediately thereafter for an area within the county. If the limited period of free range is defeated at an election in an area within a county, no other election covering that area may be held except an election in the same area, which must be held at least one year after the prior election.

(c)

If at a subsequent election in a county or area that has adopted the limited period of free range the majority of votes are cast against the proposition, the limited period of free range is repealed and a person may not permit hogs to run at large in that county or area effective on the 11th day following the day on which the proclamation is issued. If the majority of the votes are cast for the proposition, the operation of the limited period of free range is not affected.
