On Rehearing.
In its motion for rehearing appellant says:
“If we understand the court’s holding, it is that there is in Texas no statute authorizing the extension of boundaries of independent school districts lying in more than one, county.”
This indicates a misunderstanding of our opinion. We do not so hold. On the contrary, we make no question that the provisions of R. S. 1925, art. 2765, is applicable to a county-line independent school district which has been created under the provisions of section 154b, c. 100, p. '200, General Laws of 1911. It has such application only by virtue of the provision in said section 154b, reading:
*388“Said incorporated free school district containing territory in two or more counties shall have all the rights, powers, .and privileges granted under the General Laws of the state to incorporations for the free school purposes only.”
This provision hy its express terms applies to a county-line independent district, and cannot be held to extend the ajiplieation. of article 2765 to accomplish the creation of such a district without compliance with, but in an entirely different manner than, that provided in said section 154b.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
