Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Texas Constitution establishes special districts as limited-purpose local governments with taxing authority. Municipalities and general-law cities are terms used interchangeably to refer to cities that have been incorporated under the laws of the state, and counties are not limited-purpose local governments but rather are primary units of local government in Texas. Unincorporated townships are not recognized as a form of local government in Texas.
