(a) Ad valorem taxes of the hospital district shall be used to pay hospital facility operation and maintenance expenses to the extent that hospital facility revenue and income are not available at any time to pay all those expenses.
(b) The proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax may be pledged to pay hospital facility operation and maintenance expenses in the order authorizing the issuance of bonds under this subchapter.
(c) During each year that any of the bonds are outstanding, the commissioners court shall compute and determine the rate and amount of ad valorem tax that is sufficient to raise and produce the funds required to pay required hospital facility operation and maintenance expenses if the annual ad valorem tax is pledged as security for the payment of those expenses. In determining the tax rate, the commissioners court may allow for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection.
