(a) After the hearing, if the commissioners court finds that the petition conforms to the requirements of Section 383.022 and that the creation of the district and the proposed project is feasible and necessary and would serve the public purpose of attracting visitors or tourists to the county, the commissioners court may make that finding and enter an order creating the district. (b) The order creating the district may specify the cost to the county of publishing notice and conducting hearings for the creation of the district together with the cost of conducting the confirmation and sales and use tax election. The county may require the petitioner to pay to the county the amounts specified in the order creating the district at the time the order becomes final. (c) If the commissioners court finds that the petition does not conform to the requirements of Section 383.022 or that the creation of the district and the proposed project is not feasible and necessary and would not serve the purpose of attracting visitors and tourists to the county, the commissioners court shall make that finding in an order and deny the petition.
