(b) Before depositing the county bonds under Subsection (a), the commissioners court shall submit to the attorney general a copy of the order authorizing the deposit and the county bonds to be deposited. The county bonds may be deposited only if the attorney general issues a certificate of approval.
(c) To be deposited under this section, county bonds must:
(1) have the word "nonnegotiable" written across the face of the bond; and
(2) state that the bonds are deposited to the credit of the interest and sinking fund account of the precinct or district named in the bonds as a guarantee of the payment of the outstanding bonds of the precinct or district that have not been exchanged.
(d) Coupons attached to county bonds to be deposited must have the word "nonnegotiable" written on the coupons.
(e) After deposit of the county bonds:

(2) the commissioners court may not impose the tax approved at the election of the precinct or district authorizing the bonds.
(f) The commissioners court shall pay annually the interest on the county bonds deposited under this section from taxes imposed to pay interest on the county bonds and detach the coupon used for payment. The payment shall be credited to the interest account of the precinct or district, and the court shall use that money to pay the interest on the outstanding bonds of the precinct or district.

On maturity of the county bonds, the court shall pay the bonds in full. The payment shall be credited to the sinking fund of the precinct or district, and the court shall use that money to pay in full all outstanding bonds of the precinct or district.
