(c) The area described by Subsection (b) may be annexed under the requirements prescribed by Subchapter C-3, C-4, or C-5, as applicable, but the annexation may not occur unless each municipality in whose extraterritorial jurisdiction the area may be located: (1) consents to the annexation; and (2) reduces its extraterritorial jurisdiction over the area as provided by Section 42.023. (d) If the area proposed for annexation is completely surrounded by territory under the jurisdiction of another municipality, regardless of whether that jurisdiction is full-purpose, limited-purpose, or extraterritorial, that municipality must find that the annexation is in the public interest.
