-
(a) A municipality may annex:
(1) an airport owned by the municipality; and
(2) the right-of-way of any public road or highway connecting the airport to the municipality by the most direct route.
(b) The municipality may annex the area if:
(1) none of the area is more than eight miles from the municipality's boundaries; and
(2) each municipality in whose extraterritorial jurisdiction the airport is located agrees to the annexation.
(c) The area may be annexed without the consent of the owners or residents of the area.
(d) The municipality may annex the area even if the area is outside the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, is in another municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, or is narrower than the minimum width prescribed by Section 43.054. Section 43.055, which relates to the amount of area a municipality may annex in a calendar year, does not apply to the annexation.
(e) The annexation under this section of area outside the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the annexing municipality does not expand the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality.
