== add ? == We note that article XVI, section 59 of the Texas constitution provides that the legislature shall not provide for any indebtedness against a district “unless such proposition shall f%st be subrmtted to the qualified property tax-paying voters of such district and the proposition adopted.” Tar Const. art XVI, 3 59(c). The authority’s enabling act was not subject to voter approval.6 This constitutional limitation, however, applies to indebtedness that is setviced by a tax. Bonds, notes, and other debts payable out of revenues, which are not serviced by a tax, do not constitute an inde under articleXVI, section 59. See generally Lower Colorado River Auth v. McGraw, 83 S.W.2d 629, 633 vex. 1935); see ako Brams River Conservation and Rechmation Did. v. M&aw, 91 S.W.2d 665,672 (Tex 1936)
