TX Attorney General Opinion. County Bond Election to Improve City Roads?

Yes, Sterling County may call a bond election to cover the cost of improvement of Sterling municipal roads if:

• Sterling’s municipal government gives consent
• the city streets are an integral part of or a connecting link to a county road or a state highway

This question has been subject of court opinions for decades, so what statutory authority is relied upon? Texas Constitution article III, section 52(b) or (c)
