Before May 1 of the year in which the determination is made, the commissioners court shall order the boundary changes necessary for compliance.
(b) The commissioners court may order a boundary change only during March or April unless the change is necessary to:
(1) comply with § 42.005 or 42.032;
(2) reduce the number of registered voters in a precinct so it does not exceed the maximum number permitted by § 42.006; or
(3) include within a precinct a suitable building available for use as a polling place if no suitable building is available for that purpose within the existing precinct boundary.
