If all of these criteria are met, section 130.070(b) - (t) provides a procedure by which "[t]he proposed disanne.xation and creation of a separate junior college district" must occur.3
We note that Needville lies in Fort Bend County, a county adjoining Wbarton County. However, we have not been advised whether the ciraunstances sat@ the prerequisites to the application of section 130.070(a) of the Education Code. See supru at 3 @sting prerequisites for the application of section 130.070(a)). Accordingly, we cannot detemtine whether section 130.070(a) authorizes the Wharton County Junior College District to disaMe!x NISD. If NED is, in fact, "the only school district that has been ammxed to a countywide independent school district junior college district in an adjoining county." and if "the countywide independent school district junior college district has no outstandhq bonded indebtedness which was incurred a&r the annexation of NED, then section 130.070 authorizes the disannexation, and NISD must comply with the procedures for disannexation and creation of a separate junior college district that section 130.070 articulates. See supm note 3 (describing procedure).
