Re: Whether, under Local Government Code chapter 334, Terrell County may borrow money to construct an approved venue project, to be repaid from the venue project fund (RQ-0618-GA)

S U M M A R Y

A county, such as Terrell County, may use money in its venue project fund to pay any of the costs of constructing an approved venue project. The county may borrow money to pay such costs, to be repaid from the venue project fund, only by the "issuance of bonds . . . or other obligations."
