to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
THE BONDS ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The Bonds are offered subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued by the District and accepted by the Underwriter, subject among other things to the
approval of the Attorney General of Texas and Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, Fort Worth, Texas, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed
upon for the Underwriter by its counsel, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas. The Bonds in definitive form are expected to be available

USE OF INFORMATION IN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
No dealer, broker, salesman or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter to give any
information or to make any representations other than those contained in this Official Statement, and, if given or
made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the District or
the Underwriter.
This Official Statement does not constitute, and is not authorized by the District for use in connection with, an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy in any state in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in
which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful
to make such offer or solicitation.
All of the summaries of the statutes, resolutions, orders, contracts, audits, engineering and other related reports set
forth in this Official Statement are made subject to all of the provisions of such documents. These summaries do
not purport to be complete statements of such provisions, and reference is made to such documents, copies of which
are available from the District upon payment of the costs for duplication thereof.
This Official Statement contains, in part, estimates, assumptions and matters of opinion which are not intended as
statements of fact, and no representation is made as to the correctness of such estimates, assumptions or matters of
opinion, or as to the likelihood that they will be realized. Any information and expressions of opinion herein
contained are subject to change without notice, and neither the delivery of this Official Statement nor any sale made
hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the condition of
the District or other matters described herein since the date hereof; however, the District has agreed to keep this
Official Statement current by amendment or sticker to reflect material changes in the affairs of the District and to
the extent that information actually comes to its attention, the other matters described in this Official Statement until
delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter (hereinafter defined) and thereafter only as set forth herein under
“OFFICIAL STATEMENT – Updating of Official Statement.”
SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE BONDS
Underwriting
First Southwest Company (referred to herein as the “Underwriter”) has agreed to purchase the Bonds from the
District for $____________ (representing the principal amount of the Bonds, plus/less an original issue,
premium/discount on the Bonds of $__________, less an underwriter’s discount of $__________) plus accrued
interest on the Bonds from April 1, 2013, to the date of delivery. The Underwriter’s obligation is to purchase all of
the Bonds, if any are purchased.
The Underwriter has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Underwriter has
reviewed the information in the Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors
under the federal securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction, but the Underwriter
does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information.
Prices and Marketability
The delivery of the Bonds is conditioned upon the receipt by the District of a certificate executed and delivered by
the Underwriter on or before the date of delivery of the Bonds stating the prices at which a substantial amount of the
Bonds of each maturity have been sold to the public. For this purpose the term “public” shall not include any
person who is a bond house, broker or similar person acting in the capacity of underwriter or wholesaler. The
District has no control over trading of the Bonds after a bona fide offering of the Bonds is made by the Underwriter
at the yields specified on the cover page. Information concerning reoffering yields or prices is the responsibility of
the Underwriter.
The prices and other terms respecting the offering and sale of the Bonds may be changed from time to time by the
Underwriter after the Bonds are released for sale, and the Bonds may be offered and sold at prices other than the
initial offering price, including sales to dealers who may sell the Bonds into investment accounts.
3
IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING OF THE BONDS, THE UNDERWRITER MAY OVER-ALLOT OR
EFFECT TRANSACTIONS WHICH STABILIZE OR MAINTAIN THE MARKET PRICE OF THE BONDS AT
A LEVEL ABOVE THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL IN THE OPEN MARKET. SUCH
STABILIZING, IF COMMENCED, MAY BE DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME.
Securities Laws
No registration statement relating to the Bonds has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemptions provided thereunder.
The Bonds have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various
exemptions contained therein, nor have the Bonds been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction. The District assumes no responsibility for registration or qualification of the Bonds under the securities
laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Bonds may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of
responsibility for registration or qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an
interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration or
qualification provisions in such other jurisdictions.
MUNICIPAL BOND GUARANTY INSURANCE
The District has made an application with Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“AGM”) and Build America Mutual
(“BAM”) for a commitment for municipal bond guaranty insurance on the Bonds. The purchase of such insurance,
if available or advisable, and payment of all associated costs, including the premium charged by the insurer, will be
paid from proceeds of the Bonds. See “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS – Bond Insurance Risk Factors.”
RATINGS
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”), a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business,
is located at 25 Broadway, New York, New York 10004, telephone number (212) 208-8000 and has engaged in
providing ratings for corporate bonds since 1923 and municipal bonds since 1940.
Standard & Poor’s has assigned an underlying rating of “BBB+” to the Bonds. The rating fees charged by Standard
& Poor’s will be paid from proceeds of the Bonds.
An explanation of the significance of the foregoing ratings may only be obtained from Standard & Poor’s. The
foregoing ratings express only the view of Standard & Poor’s at the time the ratings are given. Furthermore, a
security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. There is no assurance that the ratings will
continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by Standard
& Poor’s, if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward change in or withdrawal of such
ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.
The District is not aware of any rating assigned the Bonds other than the ratings of Standard & Poor’s.

INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement provides certain information in connection with the issuance by Rockwall County
Consolidated Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “District”) of its $5,370,000 Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds,

The Bonds are issued pursuant to (i) the Bond Order (“Bond Order”) adopted by the Board of Directors of the
District on the date of the sale of the Bonds, (ii) the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly
Chapter 1207 of the Texas Government Code, as amended, and (iii) an election held within the boundaries on the
District on May 15, 2004.
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Official Statement have the same meaning assigned to
such terms in the Bond Order.
Included in this Official Statement are descriptions of the Bonds and certain information about the District and its
finances. ALL DESCRIPTIONS OF DOCUMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE SUMMARIES ONLY AND
ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO EACH SUCH DOCUMENT. Copies of such
documents may be obtained from the District at Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, 201 Main Street, Suite 2500, Fort
Worth, Texas 76102 or during the offering period from the District’s Financial Advisor, RBC Capital Markets
Corporation, Attn: Jan Bartholomew, 1001 Fannin Street, Suite 1200, Houston, Texas 77002 upon payment of

THE BONDS
General
The following is a description of certain terms and conditions of the Bonds, which description is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the order of the Board of Directors of the District (the “Board”) authorizing the issuance of
the Bonds (the “Bond Order”). A copy of the Bond Order may be obtained from the District upon request and
payment of the costs for duplication thereof. The Bond Order authorizes the issuance and sale of the Bonds and
prescribes the terms, conditions and provisions for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds by the
District.
Description
The Bonds are dated April 1, 2013, and will mature on October 1 in the years and in the principal amounts indicated
on the cover page hereof. The Bonds will accrue interest from April 1, 2013 at the stated interest rates indicated on
the cover page hereof. Interest on the Bonds is payable on October 1, 2013 (six months interest), and on each April
1 and October 1 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) thereafter until maturity or prior redemption. The Bonds will be
issued as fully registered bonds in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Principal of the
Bonds will be payable to the registered holder thereof (the “Registered Owner”) at maturity or earlier redemption
upon presentation of Bonds at the principal payment office of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., Dallas, Texas, the paying agent/registrar (the “Paying Agent/Registrar,” “Paying Agent,” or “Registrar”).
Interest on the Bonds will be payable by check, dated as of the interest payment date, and mailed by the Registrar to
Registered Owners as shown on the records of the Registrar at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar
month next preceding each interest payment date (the “Record Date”), or by other such customary banking
arrangements as may be acceptable to the Registrar and the Registered Owner at the expense and risk of the
Registered Owner.
______________________________

Book-Entry-Only System
This section describes how ownership of the Bonds is to be transferred and how the principal of and interest on the
Bonds are to be paid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, while the
Bonds are registered in its nominee’s name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-EntryOnly System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The
District believes the source of such information to be reliable, but takes no responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness thereof.
The District cannot and does not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the
Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participant, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt
service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other
notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the
manner described in this Official Statement. The current rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on
file with DTC.
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York NY, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The
Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership
nominee) or such other name as may be required by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered
Bond certificate will be issued for each of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will
be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the
Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,
and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues,
corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s
participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct
Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized bookentry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement
of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities
Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC
is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as
both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect
Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a
credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchase of each Bond (“Beneficial
Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not
receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the
Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of
ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect
Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing
their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is
discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of
DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative
of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC
11
nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners
of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are
credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect
Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of
significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to
the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the
Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial
Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be
provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s
practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless
authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC
mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issue as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &
Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record
date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and
corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions
and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent/Registrar or
the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payments to
Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the
responsibility of the District or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants
will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
reasonable notice to the District or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a
successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor
securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement
In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the book-entry form,
references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for
which the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through
DTC and the book-entry system, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners
under the Bond Order will be given only to DTC.
The information concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the District
believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
12
Successor Paying Agent/Registrar
Provision is made in the Bond Order for replacing the Paying Agent/Registrar. If the District replaces the Paying
Agent/Registrar, such Paying Agent/Registrar shall, promptly upon the appointment of a successor, deliver the
Paying Agent/Registrar's records to the successor Paying Agent/Registrar, and the successor Paying Agent/Registrar
shall act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent/Registrar. Any successor Paying Agent/Registrar
selected by the District shall be a commercial bank; a trust company organized under the laws of the State of Texas;
or other entity duly qualified and legally authorized to serve and perform the duties of the Paying Agent/Registrar
for the Bonds.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange
In the event the Book-Entry-Only system is discontinued, the Bonds are transferable only on the bond register kept
by the Registrar upon surrender at the principal payment office of the Registrar in Dallas, Texas. A Bond may be
assigned by the execution of an assignment form on the Bonds or by other instrument of transfer and assignment
acceptable to the Registrar. At any time after the date of initial delivery, any Bond may be transferred upon its
presentation and surrender at the designated offices of the Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by
an assignment duly executed by the Bondholder. The Bonds are exchangeable upon presentation at the designated
office(s) of the Registrar, for an equal principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity in authorized denominations.
To the extent possible, new Bonds issued in exchange or transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the Bondholder or
assignee of the Bondholder within not more than three (3) business days after the receipt by the Registrar of the
request in proper form to transfer or exchange the Bonds. New Bonds registered and delivered in an exchange or
transfer shall be in the denomination of $5,000 in principal amount for a Bond, or any integral multiple thereof for
any one maturity and shall bear interest at the same rate and be for a like aggregate principal or maturity amount as
the Bond or Bonds surrendered for exchange or transfer. Neither the Registrar nor the District is required to issue,
transfer, or exchange any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business on a Record Date and ending
at the close of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or to transfer or exchange any Bond selected
for redemption, in whole or in part, beginning fifteen (15) calendar days prior to, and ending on the date of the
mailing of notice of redemption, or where such redemption is scheduled to occur within forty-five (45) calendar
days. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange, but the District or Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Replacement of Bonds
In the event the Book-Entry-Only system is discontinued, the District has agreed to replace mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Bonds upon surrender of the mutilated Bonds, receipt of satisfactory evidence of such destruction, loss
or theft, and receipt by the District and the Registrar of security or indemnity to hold them harmless. The District or
the Registrar may require payment of taxes, governmental charges and other expenses in connection with any such
replacement.
Authorization of the Bonds
At an election held within the District on May 15, 2004, the voters authorized issuance of $53,315,000 unlimited tax
bonds for refunding purposes and $46,100,000 for waterworks, sanitary sewer, and drainage facilities to serve the
District. The Bonds constitute the first issuance of bonds from the refunding authorization and the fourth issuance
of bonds altogether.
The Bonds are issued pursuant to (i) the Bond Order (“Bond Order”) adopted by the Board of Directors of the
District on the date of the sale of the Bonds, (ii) the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly
Chapter 1207 of the Texas Government Code, as amended, and (iii) the election held within the boundaries on the
District on May 15, 2004.
Source of Payment
The Bonds, when issued, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the District, and the principal thereof and
the interest thereon, together with the principal and interest on the Remaining Outstanding Bonds (hereinafter
13
defined) and such additional tax bonds of the District as may hereafter be authorized by District voters, if any, and
subsequently issued, are payable from and secured by the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax, without legal
limitation as to rate or amount, levied against all taxable property located within the District. See “TAXING
PROCEDURES” and “TAX DATA - Tax Rate Calculations” for tax adequacy, manner of assessing and collecting
taxes, and the remedy to the District in the event of tax delinquencies; and “Registered Owners' Remedies” below
for the remedies available to Bondholders in the event of default in the performance of any of the covenants set
forth in the Bond Order or in the event of default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds.
The Bonds are obligations solely of the District and are not obligations of Rockwall County, Texas; the City of Fate,
Texas; the State of Texas; or any political subdivision other than the District.
Redemption of the Bonds
The District reserves the right, at its option, to redeem the Bonds maturing on and after October 1, 2021 prior to
their scheduled maturities, in whole or in part, on October 1, 2020, or on any date thereafter, at a price equal to the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of the exercise of the
reserved right of redemption will be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date by sending such
notice by first class mail to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address
shown on the bond register. If less than all of the Bonds are optionally redeemed at any time, the particular
maturities and amounts of Bonds to be optionally redeemed shall be selected by the District in integral multiples of
$5,000 within any one maturity and if less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are to be redeemed, the Paying
Agent/Registrar (or DTC in accordance with its procedures while the Bonds are in book-entry-only form) shall
designate by method of random selection the Bonds within such maturity to be redeemed. The Registered Owner of
any Bond, all or a portion of which has been called for redemption, shall be required to present same to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for payment of the redemption price on the portion of the Bond so called for redemption and
issuance of a new Bond in the principal amount equal to the portion of such Bond not redeemed.
Remaining Outstanding Bonds
The District has previously issued $6,500,000 Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2006 (the “Series 2006 Bonds”);
$6,260,000 Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2007 (the “Series 2007 Bonds”); and $2,750,000 Unlimited Tax Bonds,
Series 2008 (the “Series 2008 Bonds”) aggregating $15,510,000 principal amount of bonds originally issued. As of
January 1, 2013, $13,955,000 principal amount of such bonds remains outstanding (the “Outstanding Bonds”).
Following the issuance of the Bonds and the refunding of the Refunded Bonds (hereinafter defined), $8,750,000*
principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds will remain outstanding (the “Remaining Outstanding Bonds”), and the
District’s total bonded indebtedness, including the Bonds, will be $14,120,000*.
Defeasance
The Bond Order provides that the District may discharge its obligations to the Registered Owners of any or all of
the Bonds to pay principal, interest and redemption price thereon in any manner permitted by law. Under current
Texas law, such discharge may be accomplished either (i) by depositing with the Comptroller of Public Accounts of
the State of Texas a sum of money equal to the principal of, premium, if any, and all interest to accrue on the Bonds
to maturity or redemption of (ii) by depositing with any place of payment (paying agent) for obligations of the
District payable from revenues or from ad valorem taxes or both or with a commercial bank or trust company
designated in the proceedings authorizing such discharge, amounts sufficient to provide for the payment and/or
redemption of the Bonds; provided that such deposits may be invested and reinvested only in (a) direct noncallable
obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United
States of America, (b) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States, including
obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that, on the date the
governing body of the District adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the issuance of refunding bonds, are
rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent,
and (c) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a
state that have been refunded and that, on the date the governing body of the District adopts or approves the
_____________________________
*
14
proceedings authorizing the issuance of refunding bonds, are rated as to investment quality by a nationally
recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent. The foregoing obligations may be in book
entry form, and shall mature and/or bear interest payable at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to
provide for the scheduled payment and/or redemption of the Bonds. If any of such Bonds are to be redeemed prior
to their respective dates of maturity, provision must have been made for giving notice of redemption as provided in
the Bond Order.
There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in a manner which would permit other investments to
be made with amounts deposited to defease the Bonds. Because the Bond Order does not contractually limit such
investments, Bondholders may be deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments,
notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as currently permitted
under Texas law. There is also no assurance that any investment held for such discharge will maintain its rating.
Annexation and Consolidation
In certain circumstances, under Texas law, the District may alter its boundaries to: (1) upon satisfying certain
conditions, annex additional territory; and (2) exclude land subject to taxation within the District that is not served
by District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes land of equal acreage and value that may be practicably
served by District facilities. No representation is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any
additional changes in its boundaries.
The District has the legal authority to consolidate with other districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the
consolidation of its assets (such as cash and the utility system), and liabilities (such as the Bonds), with the assets
and liabilities of districts with which it is consolidating. Although no consolidation is presently contemplated by the
District, no representation is made concerning the likelihood of consolidation in the future.
Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt
After the issuance of the Bonds, $53,150,000* of bonds for refunding purposes and $30,590,000 of bonds for water,
sewer and drainage purposes will remain authorized but unissued. The Bond Order imposes no limitation on the
amount of additional parity bonds which may be issued by the District. It is the opinion of the Engineer that the
$30,590,000 remaining authorized but unissued bonds will be sufficient to complete construction of all water, sewer
and drainage facilities in the District. See “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Future Debt.”
Before issuing any additional bonds for water, sewer and drainage facilities, the District would have to obtain
approval of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “Commission” or “TCEQ”) for the issuance of
such bonds and the projects to be financed thereby. In addition to the above-mentioned bonds, the District has the
right to issue such additional tax bonds or combination tax and revenue bonds as may be hereafter approved by the
voters of the District. The District also has the right to issue revenue notes, bond anticipation notes, and tax
anticipation notes without the necessity of voter approval. In addition, the District has the right to enter into
contracts and to pledge its taxing power to secure any payments the District is required to make under such
contracts, provided the provisions of the contract are approved by the voters of the District. The District further has
the right to issue refunding bonds without additional voter approval. The City provides the District with facilities
for parks, roads and fire protection.
Registered Owners' Remedies
The Bond Order contains a covenant that while any part of the Bonds is outstanding, there shall be assessed, levied,
and collected an annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the
District, sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds, the Remaining Outstanding Bonds of any additional
tax bonds when due and to pay the expenses necessary in collecting taxes. Texas law and the Bond Order provide
that in the event that the District defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds when
due, fails to make payments required by the Bond Order into the Debt Service Fund, or defaults in the observance or
performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or obligations set forth in the Bond Order, any Registered Owner
shall be entitled at any time to a writ of mandamus from a court of competent jurisdiction compelling and requiring
______________________________
*
15
the Board of Directors of the District to observe and perform any covenant, obligation, or condition prescribed by
the Bond Order. Such right is in addition to all other rights the Registered Owners may be provided by the laws of
the State of Texas.
Except for mandamus, the Bond Order does not specifically provide for remedies to a Registered Owner in the
event of a District default, nor does it provide for the appointment of a trustee to protect and enforce the interests of
the Registered Owners. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default. Consequently, the
remedy of mandamus is a remedy which may have to be relied upon from year to year by the Registered Owners.
Even if the Registered Owners could obtain a judgment against the District, such judgment could not be enforced by
direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the Registered Owners cannot themselves
foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds. Certain traditional legal remedies also may be unavailable. The enforceability of the rights
and remedies of the Registered Owners may be further limited by federal bankruptcy laws, reorganization, or other
similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. See
“Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights.”
Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights
Other than a writ of mandamus and other relief authorized by law, the Bond Order does not expressly provide a
specific remedy for a default. Even if a registered owner could obtain a judgment against the District for a default
in the payment of principal or interest, such judgment could not be satisfied by execution against any property of the
District. If the District defaults, a registered owner could petition for a writ of mandamus issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction requiring the District and the District’s officials to observe and perform the covenants,
obligations or conditions prescribed in the Bond Order. Such remedy might need to be enforced on a periodic basis.
The enforcement of a claim for payment on the Bonds would be subject to the applicable provisions of the federal
bankruptcy laws, any other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions, and general
principals of equity. See “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Registered Owners’ Remedies,” and “Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners’ Rights.”
Legal Investment and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas
Pursuant to the Texas Bond Procedures Act, Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, as amended, and Section
49.186, Texas Water Code, the Bonds, whether rated or unrated, are (a) legal investments for banks, savings banks,
trust companies, building and loan associations, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, fiduciaries,
and trustees and (b) legal investments for the public funds of cities, towns, villages, school districts, and other
political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. Most political subdivisions in the State of Texas are
required to adopt investment guidelines under the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government
Code, and such political subdivisions may impose a requirement consistent with such act that the Bonds have a
rating of not less than “A” or its equivalent to be legal investments for such entity’s funds. The Bonds are eligible
under the Public Funds Collateral Act, Chapter 2257, Texas Government Code, to secure deposits of public funds of
the State of Texas or any political subdivision or public agency of the State of Texas and are lawful and sufficient
security for those deposits to the extent of their market value.
The District has not reviewed the laws in other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for
various institutions in those states or eligible to serve as collateral for public funds in those states. The District has
made no investigation of any other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria that might affect the suitability of
the Bonds for any of the above purposes or limit the authority of any of the above persons or entities to purchase or
invest in the Bonds.

PLAN OF FINANCING
Use and Distribution of Bond Proceeds
The proceeds of the Bonds, will be applied to pay certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the
Bonds, and to advance refund $5,205,000* in principal amount (the “Refunded Bonds”) of the District’s Unlimited
Tax Bonds, Series 2006 (the “Series 2006 Bonds”). The refunding of the Refunded Bonds is expected to result in
annual and net present value savings in the District’s current annual debt service requirements.

Escrow Agreement
The District will enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which a portion of the proceeds of the
Bonds will be deposited in cash or invested in certain securities of the United States of America (the “Escrowed
Obligations”) and held in an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to provide for scheduled payments of principal of
and interest on the Refunded Bonds until their redemption date. At the time of delivery of the Bonds, Grant
Thornton L.L.P. will verify to the District, the Escrow Agent, Bond Counsel, and the Underwriter that the cash and
the Escrowed Securities in the Escrow Fund is sufficient in principal amount to pay, when due, the principal of and
interest on the Refunded Bonds. See “VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS.”
By the deposit of cash and the Escrowed Securities with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the
District will have affected the defeasance of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the terms of the order authorizing the
issuance of the Refunded Bonds. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, as a result of such deposit, firm banking and
financial arrangements will have been made for the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement, and such Refunded Bonds will be deemed under Texas law to be fully paid and no longer
outstanding, except for the purpose of being paid from the funds provided therefor in such Escrow Agreement.

Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt Statement
The following statement indicates the direct and estimated overlapping debt of the District. The table includes the
estimated amount of indebtedness of governmental entities overlapping the District, defined as outstanding bonds
payable from ad valorem taxes, and the estimated percentages and amounts of such indebtedness attributable to
property located within the District. This information is based upon data secured from the individual jurisdictions
and/or the Texas Municipal Reports published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. The calculations by
which the statement was derived were made in part by comparing the reported assessed valuation of the property in
the overlapping taxing jurisdictions with the 2012 Assessed Valuation of property within the District. No effect has
been given to the tax burden levied by any applicable taxing jurisdiction for maintenance and operational or other
purposes.

Under Texas law ad valorem taxes levied by each taxing authority other than the District create a lien which is on a
parity with the lien in favor of the District on all taxable property within the District. In addition to the ad valorem
taxes required to retire the foregoing direct and overlapping debt, the various taxing authorities mentioned above are
also authorized by Texas law to assess, levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance, administration
and/or general revenue purposes. Certain of the jurisdictions have in the past levied such taxes. The District has the
power to assess, levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation and maintenance purposes, and such taxes have
been authorized by the duly qualified voters of the District. The District has levied a maintenance tax since 1991,
the initial year taxes were levied within the District. See “TAX DATA - Maintenance Tax”.

See “TAX DATA - Tax Rate Calculations” and “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Maximum Impact on
District Tax Rates” for a discussion of the District's projected tax rates and the effect of the Bonds thereon.
TAX PROCEDURES
Authority to Levy Taxes
The Board is authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any additional bonds payable from taxes which the
District may hereafter issue (see “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Future Debt”) and to pay the expenses of
assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Bond Order to levy such a tax from year-to-year as
described more fully herein under “THE BONDS - Source of and Security for Payment.” Under Texas law, the
Board is also authorized to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the
District and its water, wastewater and drainage system and for the payment of certain contractual obligations if
authorized by its voters. See “TAX DATA - Tax Rate Limitation”.
Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District
The Texas Property Tax Code (the “Property Tax Code”) specifies the taxing procedures of all political
subdivisions of the State of Texas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are
not fully summarized herein.
____________________________
23
The Property Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property
values and establishes in each county of the State of Texas an appraisal district with the responsibility for recording
and appraising property for all taxing units within a county and an appraisal review board with the responsibility for
reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. The Rockwall County Appraisal District
(the “Appraisal District” or “RCAD”) has the responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within
Rockwall County, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the Rockwall
County Appraisal Review Board (the “Appraisal Review Board”). The appraisal roll as approved by the Appraisal
Review Board must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate.
Exempt Property
Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all real property, tangible personal property held or used for
the production of income, mobile homes and certain categories of intangible personal property with a tax situs in the
District are subject to taxation by the District. Principal categories of exempt property include, but are not limited
to: property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions, if the property is used for public purposes;
property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law; certain household goods, family supplies and personal
effects; certain goods, wares, and merchandise in transit; certain farm products owned by the producer; certain
property of charitable organizations, youth development associations, religious organizations, and qualified schools;
designated historical sites; and most individually-owned automobiles. In addition, the District may by its own action
exempt certain property owned by qualified organizations engaged primarily in charitable activities, residential
homesteads of persons 65 years or older and certain disabled persons, to the extent deemed advisable by the Board
of Directors of the District. For the 2012 tax year, the District has adopted an exemption of $10,000 from ad
valorem taxation on residential homesteads of individuals who are 65 years or older and certain disabled persons.
The District may be required to offer such exemptions if a majority of voters approve same at an election. The
District would be required to call an election upon petition by twenty percent (20%) of the number of qualified
voters who voted in the preceding election. The District is authorized by statute to disregard exemptions for the
disabled and elderly if granting the exemption would impair the District's obligation to pay tax supported debt
incurred prior to adoption of the exemption by the District. Furthermore, the District must grant exemptions to
disabled veterans, or certain surviving dependents of disabled veterans if requested, but only to the maximum extent
of $5,000 to $12,000 of assessed valuation depending upon the disability rating of the veteran. A veteran who
receives a disability rating of 100% is entitled to an exemption for the full amount of the veteran’s residence
homestead. Additionally, subject to certain conditions, the surviving spouse of a disabled veteran who is entitled to
an exemption for the full value of the veteran’s residence homestead is also entitled to an exemption from taxation
of the total appraised value of the same property to which the disabled veteran’s exemption applied.
The Board may exempt up to 20% of the market value of residential homesteads from ad valorem taxation. Such
exemption would be in addition to any other applicable exemptions provided by law. However, if ad valorem taxes
have previously been pledged for the payment of debt and the reduction or cessation of the levy would impair the
obligation of the contract by which the debt was created, then the Board may continue to levy and collect taxes
against the exempt value of the homesteads until the debt is discharged. To date, the Board has not granted a
residential homestead exemption.
Rockwall County may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone, and Rockwall
County, or the District may thereafter enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within the
zone with each taxing jurisdiction's agreement affecting its own tax roll. The tax abatement agreements exempt from
ad valorem taxation by the applicable taxing jurisdiction (including the District with the District's consent) for a
period of up to 10 years, all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the
agreement over its assessed valuation in the year in which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the
property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. In
certain instances, personal property also may be eligible for tax abatement. Each taxing jurisdiction has discretion
to determine terms for its tax abatement agreements without regard to the terms approved by other taxing
jurisdictions.
24
Freeport Goods and Goods-in-Transit Exemptions: A “Freeport Exemption” applies to goods, wares,
merchandise, other tangible personal property and ores, other than oil, natural gas, and petroleum products (defined
as liquid and gaseous materials immediately derived from refining oil or natural gas), and to aircraft or repair parts
used by a certified air carrier acquired in or imported into Texas which are destined to be forwarded outside of
Texas and which are detained in Texas for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating for less
than 175 days. Although certain taxing units may take official action to tax such property in transit and negate such
exemption, the District does not have such an option. A “Goods-in-Transit” Exemption is applicable to certain
tangible personal property as defined by the Property Tax Code. The exemption excludes oil, natural gas,
petroleum products, aircraft and certain special inventory including dealer’s motor vehicles, dealer’s vessel and
outboard motor vehicle, dealer’s heavy equipment and retail manufactured housing inventory. For tax year 2011
and prior applicable years, the exemption applies to covered property if it is acquired in or imported into Texas for
assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating purposes and is subsequently forwarded to another
location inside or outside of Texas not later than 175 days after acquisition or importation, and the location where
said property is detained during that period is not directly or indirectly owned or under the control of the property
owner. For tax year 2012 and subsequent years, such Goods-in-Transit Exemption is further limited to tangible
personal property acquired in or imported into Texas for storage purposes and which is stored under a contract of
bailment by a public warehouse operator at one or more public warehouse facilities in Texas that are not in any way
owned or controlled by the owner of such property for the account of the person who acquired or imported such
property. A property owner who receives the Goods-in-Transit Exemption is not eligible to receive the Freeport
Exemption for the same property. Local taxing units such as the District may, by official action and after public
hearing, tax goods-in-transit personal property. For tax year 2012 and subsequent years, a taxing unit must exercise
its option to tax goods-in-transit property before January 1 of the first tax year in which it proposes to tax the
property at the time and in the manner prescribed by applicable law. However, taxing units who took official action
as allowed by prior law before October 1, 2011, to tax goods-in-transit property, and who pledged such taxes for the
payment of debt, may continue to impose taxes against the goods-in-transit property until the debt is discharged
without further action, if cessation of the imposition would impair the obligations of the contract by which the debt
was created. The District has taken official action to allow taxation of all such goods-in-transit personal property,
but may choose to exempt same in the future by further official action.
County-Wide Appraisal District
Generally, property in the District must be appraised by the RCAD at market value as of January 1 of each year.
Once an appraisal roll is prepared and formally approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District
in establishing its tax rolls and tax rate. Assessments under the Property Tax Code are to be based on one hundred
percent (100%) of market value, as such is defined in the Property Tax Code.
The Property Tax Code permits land designated for agricultural use, open space or timberland to be appraised at its
value based on the land’s capacity to produce agricultural or timber products rather than at its market value. The
Property Tax Code permits, under certain circumstances, that residential real property inventory held by a person in
the trade or business be valued at the price that such property would bring if sold as a unit to a purchaser who would
continue the business. Landowners wishing to avail themselves of the agricultural use, open space or timberland
designation or residential real property inventory designation must apply for the designation, and the appraiser is
required by the Property Tax Code to act on each claimant's right to the designation individually. A claimant may
waive the special valuation as to taxation by some political subdivisions while claiming it as to another. If a
claimant receives the agricultural use designation and later loses it by changing the use of the property or selling it
to an unqualified owner, the District can collect taxes based on the new use, including taxes for the previous three
years for agricultural use and taxes for the previous five years for open space land and timberland.
The Property Tax Code requires the RCAD to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property. The plan must
provide for appraisal of all real property in the RCAD at least once every three years. It is not known what
frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the RCAD or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or
county-wide basis. The District, however, at its expense has the right to obtain from the RCAD a current estimate
of appraised values within the District or an estimate of any new property or improvements within the District.
While such current estimate of appraised values may serve to indicate the rate and extent of growth of taxable
25
values within the District, it cannot be used for establishing a tax rate within the District until such time as the
RCAD chooses formally to include such values on its appraisal roll.
Assessment and Levy
The District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes unless it elects to transfer the collection functions
to another governmental entity or private tax assessor/collector approved by the Board. Each year the rate of
taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1.
Taxes are due when billed, and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. A delinquent tax incurs a
penalty of six percent (6%) of the amount of the tax for the first calendar month it is delinquent, plus one percent
(1%) for each additional month or portion of a month the tax remains unpaid prior to July 1 of the year in which it
becomes delinquent. If the tax is not paid by July 1 of the year in which it becomes delinquent, the tax incurs a total
penalty of twelve percent (12%) regardless of the number of months the tax has been delinquent. The delinquent
tax also accrues interest at a rate of one percent (1%) for each month or portion of a month it remains unpaid. In
addition, if the District engages an attorney for the collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further
penalty not to exceed twenty percent (20%) on all taxes, penalty and interest unpaid on July 1. The Property Tax
Code also makes provision for the split payment of taxes, discounts for early payment and the postponement of the
delinquency date of taxes under certain circumstances.
District and Taxpayer Remedies
Under certain circumstances, taxpayers and taxing units (such as the District) may appeal the orders of the Appraisal
Review Board by filing a timely petition of review in State district court. In such event, the value of the property in
question will be determined by the court or by a jury if requested by any party. Additionally, taxing units may bring
suit against the RCAD to compel compliance with the Property Tax Code.
The Property Tax Code sets forth notice and hearing procedures for certain tax rate increases by the District and
provides for taxpayer referenda, which could result in the repeal of certain tax increases. The Property Tax Code
also establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property value,
appraisals which are higher than renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll.
Collection
The District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes unless it elects to transfer the collection functions
to another governmental entity or private tax assessor/collector approved by the Board. Each year the rate of
taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1.
Taxes are due when billed, and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. A delinquent tax incurs a
penalty of six percent (6%) of the amount of the tax for the first calendar month it is delinquent, plus one percent
(1%) for each additional month or portion of a month the tax remains unpaid prior to July 1 of the year in which it
becomes delinquent. If the tax is not paid by July 1 of the year in which it becomes delinquent, the tax incurs a total
penalty of twelve percent (12%) regardless of the number of months the tax has been delinquent. The delinquent
tax also accrues interest at a rate of one percent (1%) for each month or portion of a month it remains unpaid. In
addition, if the District engages an attorney for the collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further
penalty not to exceed twenty percent (20%) on all taxes, penalty and interest unpaid on July 1. The Property Tax
Code also makes provision for the split payment of taxes, discounts for early payment and the postponement of the
delinquency date of taxes under certain circumstances.
District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies
Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property as of January 1 of the year for
which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all
state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor
of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The
District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units (see “FINANCIAL STATEMENT –
Overlapping Taxes”). A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of
liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the attachment of the
tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the
26
District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure
and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest.
At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing
payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real
property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same
property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing
units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights or by
bankruptcy proceeding which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. See “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General - Tax Collection and Foreclosure Remedies.”
TAX DATA
General
Taxable property within the District is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the District of an annual ad
valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount, sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds
(and any future tax-supported bonds which may be issued from time to time as authorized). Taxes are levied by the
District each year against the District's assessed valuation as of January 1 of that year. Taxes become due October 1
of such year, or when billed, and generally become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The Board
covenants in the Bond Order to assess and levy for each year that all or any part of the Bonds remain outstanding
and unpaid a tax ample and sufficient to produce funds to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The actual
rate of such tax will be determined from year to year as a function of the District's tax base, its debt service
requirements and available funds. In addition, the District has the power and authority to assess, levy and collect ad
valorem taxes, in an unlimited amount, for operation and maintenance purposes. The Board levied a 2012 tax rate
for debt service purposes of $0.48 per $100 of assessed valuation and $0.22 per $100 of assessed valuation for
operation and maintenance purposes for a total tax rate of $0.70 per $100 of assessed value.

Tax Rate Calculations
The tax rate calculations set forth below are presented to indicate the tax rates per $100 of Assessed Valuation
which would be required to meet certain debt service requirements if no growth occurs in the District's tax base
beyond the District's 2012 Assessed Valuation. The calculations also assume collection of 95% of taxes levied, no
use of District funds on hand, and no sale of additional bonds by the District.
Average Annual Debt Service Requirements (2013-2030)................................................................... $1,144,508
Tax Rate of $0.51 on the 2012 Assessed Valuation ($239,132,056) produces .................................... $1,158,595

Estimated Overlapping Taxes
Property located within the District is subject to taxation by several taxing authorities in addition to the District. Set
forth below is a compilation of all 2012 taxes levied upon property located within the District. Under Texas law, ad
valorem taxes levied by each taxing authority other than the District entitled to levy taxes against property located
within the District create a lien which is on a parity with the tax lien of the District. In addition to the ad valorem
taxes required to make the debt service payments on bonded debt of the District and of such other jurisdictions (see
“DISTRICT DEBT- Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt Statement”), certain taxing jurisdictions are authorized
by Texas law to assess, levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance, administrative and/or general
revenue purposes.

functions of the individual districts. The District is vested with all the rights, privileges, authority and functions
conferred by the laws of the State of Texas applicable to municipal utility districts, including without limitation
those conferred by Chapters 49 and 54, Texas Water Code, as amended. The District is empowered to purchase,
construct, operate and maintain all works, improvements, facilities and plants necessary for the supply of water; the
collection, transportation and treatment of wastewater; and the control and diversion of storm water, among other
things. The District may also provide solid waste collection and disposal service and operate and maintain
recreational facilities. Currently the District’s water and wastewater are provided by contract with the City of Fate,
Texas (the “City”) as described under “Special District Agreements” below. The District may operate and maintain
a fire department, independently or with one or more other conservation and reclamation districts, if approved by
the voters and the TCEQ. The District does not operate and/or maintain a fire department. The District is subject to
the continuing supervision of the TCEQ and is located exclusively within the corporate limits of the City.

Future Development
The construction of 58 lots in Woodcreek Phase 1D-2 on approximately 13 acres is anticipated to begin in March
2013 with completion anticipated in August of 2013. Additionally, approximately 124 acres within the District are
undeveloped but developable. It is currently anticipated by the Developers that the homebuilding programs
underway within the District will continue on the lots currently under design.
THE DEVELOPERS
Role of the Developer
In general, the activities of a developer in a municipal utility district, such as the District, include the following:
acquiring the land within the district; designing the subdivision, the utilities and streets to be constructed in the
subdivision, and any community facilities to be built; defining a marketing program and building schedule; securing
necessary governmental approvals and permits for development; arranging for the construction of roads and the
installation of utilities; and selling improved lots and commercial reserves to builders and other developers or other
third parties. Pursuant to the rules of the TCEQ, a developer can be required to pay up to thirty percent (30%) of
the cost of constructing certain water, wastewater and drainage facilities in a municipal utility district. The relative
success or failure of a developer to perform such activities in the development of property within a municipal utility
district may have a profound effect on the security of the bonds issued by a district. A developer is generally under
no obligation to a municipal utility district to develop the property that it owns in a district. Furthermore, there is no
restriction on a developer's right to sell any or all of the land that the developer owns within a municipal utility
district.

within the District classified as agricultural, open-space or timberland. In addition, such agreement waives the right
of the Developers to have its lots and houses (if any) classified as business inventory. Such agreement may not be
modified without approval of the TCEQ and is binding on purchasers of such land within the District.

THE SYSTEM
General
The water, wastewater and drainage facilities, the purchase, acquisition and construction of which have been
financed by the District with the proceeds of the Bonds, have been designed in accordance with accepted
engineering practices and the recommendation of certain governmental agencies having regulatory or supervisory
jurisdiction over construction and operation of such facilities, including, among others, the TCEQ. According to
Petitt Barraza LLC (the “Engineer”), the design of all such facilities has been approved by all governmental
agencies which have jurisdiction over the District.
Operation of the District’s water, wastewater and drainage facilities is subject to regulation by, among others, the
Environmental Protection Agency and the TCEQ. In many cases, regulations promulgated by these agencies have
become effective only recently and are subject to further development and revision.
Special District Agreements
The District has entered into a Special District Agreement dated December 2, 2003 with the City and PRA/Fate that
provides, in part, for the City to own, operate and maintain the internal and off-site water, wastewater and drainage
facilities constructed with the proceeds of bonds issued by the District, for the City to provide water and sewer
capacity to serve customers within the District, and that the City shall not exercise its right to dissolve the District
until the Bonds and any additional debt of the District has been repaid. Pursuant to this Agreement, the District
included the prohibition of dissolution in its bond election propositions and in the order authorizing the issuance and
sale of the Refunded Bonds.
The District has also entered into a Special District Agreement No. 2 dated May 17, 2006 with the City, PRA/Fate
and Rockwall County Municipal Utility Districts 6, 7, 8 and 9 (the “New Districts”) which provides that the New
Districts, in addition to the District, accept the obligations and provisions of the original Special District Agreement.
Water System
Water supply for District customers is provided pursuant to contracts with the City of Fate (the “City”). The City
receives wholesale water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (“NTMWD”). The City has contracted
with NTMWD to receive 1,420,556 gpd. Pursuant to a December 1, 2003 agreement among the City, PRA/Fate,
the District, and Rockwall County Consolidated Municipal Utility District No. 2 (“RCCMUD#2”), the City has
agreed to provide capacity for 1,300 ESFCs to the District and RCCMUD#2. By agreement dated December 14,
2004, between the District and RCCMUD#2, the District is entitled to all 1,300 ESFCs of capacity. Pursuant to the
terms of the Special District Agreement No. 2, dated on May 17, 2006, the City agreed to provide an additional
1,000 residential water connections for a total of 2,300 ESFCs.
34
The City’s existing elevated storage tank is adjacent to the District. The District will not issue bonds or use other
funds for water supply costs; water supply impact fees are to be paid directly by the builders to the City.
Wastewater System
Wastewater treatment for District customers is currently provided by the City through the North Texas Municipal
Water District’s Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Pursuant to a December 1, 2003 agreement among the City,
PRA/Fate, the District, and RCCMUD#2, the City has agreed to provide wastewater for 700 residential ESFCs to
the District and RCCMUD#2. By agreement dated December 14, 2004, between the District and RCCMUD#2, the
District is entitled to all 700 ESFCs of wastewater capacity.
Pursuant to the terms of the Special Agreement No. 2, dated on May 17, 2006, the City agreed to provide an
additional 500 residential wastewater connections, for a total of 1,200 ESFCs.
The District will not issue bonds or use other funds for wastewater treatment costs except wastewater capacity fees
paid by the Developers for the benefit of the District; wastewater treatment impact fees are to be paid directly by the
builders to the City.
Drainage System
Stormwater from within the District currently drains through underground lines leading to natural tributaries, or
through underground lines directly to natural tributaries, such as Parker Creek or Comp Creek.
100-year Flood Plain
Approximately 16.97 acres of the District lie within the FEMA 100-year flood plain. This acreage has been planned
as green space and will not be used for development.
Future Debt
After the issuance of the Bonds, $30,590,000 in unlimited tax bonds will remain authorized but unissued for the
purposes of purchasing, constructing, or otherwise acquiring a water, wastewater, and drainage system for the
District and $53,150,000* in unlimited tax bonds for refunding purposes will remain authorized but unissued. To
date, according to the Developers, approximately $2,070,827 is owed to the Developers on current development. In
the opinion of the District’s Engineer, the $30,590,000 of authorized but unissued bonds should be sufficient to
fully reimburse and provide utility service to the remaining undeveloped but potentially developable acreage.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
The Bonds, which are obligations solely of the District and are not obligations of Rockwall County, Texas; the City
of Fate, Texas; the State of Texas; or any political subdivision other than the District, will be secured by an annual
ad valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property located within the District. See
“THE BONDS - Source of Payment.” The ultimate security for payment of the principal of and interest on the
Bonds depends upon the ability of the District to collect from the property owners within the District taxes levied
against all taxable property located within the District or, in the event taxes are not collected and foreclosure are
instituted by the District, upon the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by
other taxing authorities. The District makes no representations that over the life of the Bonds the property within
the District will maintain a value sufficient to justify continued payment of taxes by the property owners. The
potential increase in taxable valuation of District property is directly related to the economics of the residential
development and construction industries, not only due to general economic conditions, but also due to the particular
factors discussed below.
Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments
Credit Markets and Liquidity in the Financial Markets: Interest rates and the availability of mortgage
and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest
rates at which developers are able to obtain financing for development costs.
36
Interest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and
complete construction activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors
affecting the availability of funds, the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for
continued construction within the District. In addition, since the District is located approximately 27 miles
from the central downtown business district of the City of Dallas, the success of development within the
District and growth of District taxable property values are, to a great extent, a function of the Dallas
metropolitan and regional economies and the national financial and credit markets. A continued downturn
in the economic conditions of Dallas and the nation could adversely affect development plans in the
District and restrain the growth of the District’s property tax base.
National Economy: Nationally, there has been a significant downturn in new housing construction caused
primarily by the unavailability of mortgage funds, resulting in a decline in housing market values. The
Dallas/Fort Worth area, including the District, has experienced reduced levels of home construction. The
District cannot predict what impact, if any, a continued downturn in the national housing market and
financial markets might have on the Dallas/Fort Worth area market.
Competition: The demand for and construction of single-family homes in the District, could be affected
by competition from other residential developments, including other residential developments located in
the northern portion of the Dallas area market. In addition to competition for new home sales from other
developments, there are numerous previously-owned homes in the area of the District. Such homes could
represent additional competition for new homes proposed to be sold within the District. The competitive
position of a builder in the sale of single-family residential houses within the District is affected by most of
the factors discussed in this section. Such a competitive position directly affects the growth and
maintenance of taxable values in the District and tax revenues to be received by the District.
Economic Factors: The rate of development of the District is directly related to the vitality of the future
commercial, retail and multi-family industries. New commercial, retail and multi-family construction can
be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, construction costs, and consumer demand.
Decreased levels of home construction activity would restrict the growth of property values in the District.
Although, as described in this Official Statement under the captions “DEVELOPMENT OF THE
DISTRICT,” and “THE DEVELOPERS” (i) the development of an aggregate of 2,049 single-family
residential lots within the District has been completed, and (ii) as of January 1, 2013, the District contained
approximately 1,335 single-family homes, the District cannot predict the pace or magnitude of any future
development or home construction in the District other than that which has occurred to date.
Maximum Impact on District Tax Rates: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and
improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of
District property owners to pay their taxes. The 2012 Assessed Valuation, of property located within the
District (see “TAX DATA”) is $239,132,056. After issuance of the Bonds, the maximum annual debt
service requirement on the Bonds will be $1,238,175 (2030) and the average annual debt service
requirements will be $1,144,508 (2013-2030, inclusive). Assuming no increase to nor decrease from the
2012 Assessed Valuation, tax rates of $0.55 and $0.51, respectively, per $100 of Assessed Valuation at a
95% tax collection rate would be necessary to pay the maximum annual debt service requirement and the
average annual debt service requirements, respectively, on the Bonds. See “TAX DATA - Tax Rate
Calculations.” The District levied a debt service tax rate of $0.48 per $100 of Assessed Valuation and a
maintenance tax rate of $0.22 per $100 of Assessed Valuation for a total tax rate of $0.70 per $100 of
Assessed Valuation for the 2012 tax year. However, the District can make no representation that the
taxable property values in the District will increase in the future or will maintain a value sufficient to
support the aforementioned tax rate or to justify continued payment of taxes by property owners.
37
Increases in the District's tax rate to substantially higher levels than the current rate of $0.70 per $100 of
Assessed Valuation which the District presently levied may have an adverse impact upon future
development of the District, the sale and construction of homes within the District, and the ability of the
District to collect, and the willingness of owners of property located within the District to pay, ad valorem
taxes levied by the District. In addition, the collection by the District of delinquent taxes owed to it and the
enforcement by a Registered Owner of the District's obligations to collect sufficient taxes may be a costly
and lengthy process.
Developers Under No Obligation to the District: The Developers have informed the District of their
current plans to continue to develop land in the District for residential and commercial purposes. However,
the Developers are not obligated to implement such plan on any particular schedule or at all. Thus, the
furnishing of information related to the proposed development by the Developers should not be interpreted
as such a commitment. The District makes no representation about the probability of development
continuing in a timely manner or about the ability of the Developers, or any other subsequent landowners
to whom a party may sell all or a portion of their holdings within the District, to implement any plan of
development. Furthermore, there is no restriction on the Developers’ right to sell their land. The District
can make no prediction as to the effects that current or future economic or governmental circumstances
may have on any plans of the Developers. Failure to construct taxable improvements on developed lots
and tracts and failure of the Developers to develop their land would restrict the rate of growth of taxable
value in the District. The District is also dependent upon the Developers (see “TAX DATA - Principal
Taxpayers”) for the timely payment of ad valorem taxes, and the District cannot predict what the future
financial condition of the Developers will be or what effect, if any, such conditions may have on their
ability to pay taxes. See “THE DEVELOPERS,” “DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE DISTRICT.”
Tax Collection Limitations
The District's ability to make debt service payments may be adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem
taxes. Under Texas law, the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of the District on a
parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied, and
such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure
may be impaired by (a) cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive collection procedures, (b) a bankruptcy court's
stay of tax collection procedures against a taxpayer, or (c) market conditions affecting the marketability of taxable
property within the District and limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of such property. Moreover, the
proceeds of any sale of property within the District available to pay debt service on the Bonds may be limited by the
existence of other tax liens on the property, by the current aggregate tax rate being levied against the property, and
by other factors (including the taxpayers' right to redeem property within six (6) months of foreclosure unless the
property is his residence homestead or designated for agricultural use, in which case the taxpayer may redeem the
property within two years of foreclosure). Finally, any bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over bankruptcy
proceedings initiated by or against a taxpayer within the District pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code could
stay any attempt by the District to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes assessed against such taxpayer. The District's
lien on taxable property within the District for taxes levied against such property can be foreclosed only in a judicial
proceeding.
Registered Owners' Remedies and Bankruptcy
In the event of default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, the Registered Owners have a right to
seek a writ of mandamus requiring the District to levy adequate taxes each year to make such payments. Except for
mandamus, the Bond Order does not provide for remedies to protect and enforce the interests of the Registered
Owners. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of
mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. Based on recent Texas court decisions, it is unclear
whether, §49.066, Texas Water Code, effectively waives governmental immunity of a municipal utility district for
suits for money damages. Even if the Registered Owners could obtain a judgment against the District, such a
judgment could not be enforced by a direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the
Registered Owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property of the District in
order to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Since there is no trust indenture or trustee, the Registered
38
Owners would have to initiate and finance the legal process to enforce their remedies. The enforceability of the
rights and remedies of the Registered Owners further may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization
or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the
District. In this regard, should the District file a petition for protection from creditors under federal bankruptcy
laws, a suit seeking the remedy of mandamus would be automatically stayed and could not be pursued unless
authorized by a federal bankruptcy judge. See “THE BONDS - Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners'
Rights.”
Marketability
The District has no understanding (other than the initial reoffering yields) with the Underwriter regarding the
reoffering yields or prices of the Bonds and has no control over the trading of the Bonds in the secondary market.
There is no assurance that a secondary market will be made for the Bonds. If there is a secondary market, the
difference between the bid and asked price of the Bonds may be greater than the bid and asked spread of other
bonds generally bought, sold or traded in the secondary market. See “SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE
BONDS.”
Future Debt
The District has the right to issue the remaining $53,150,000* authorized but unissued bonds for refunding
purposes, the remaining $30,590,000 authorized but unissued bonds for waterworks, sanitary sewer, and drainage
facilities (see “THE BONDS - Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt”), and additional bonds as may hereafter be
approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. The District also has the right to issue certain
other additional bonds, special project bonds, and other obligations described in the Bond Order and under “THE
BONDS - Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt”. All of the remaining $53,150,000* in bonds for refunding
purposes and $30,590,000 in bonds for waterworks, sanitary sewer and drainage facilities, which have heretofore
been authorized by the voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time as needed. The issuance
of such $30,590,000 in bonds for waterworks, sanitary sewer and drainage facilities, is also subject to TCEQ
authorization. . To date, according to the Developers, approximately $2,070,827 is owed to the Developers on
current development. In the opinion of the District’s Engineer, the $30,590,000 of authorized but unissued bonds
should be sufficient to fully reimburse and provide utility service to the remaining undeveloped but potentially
developable acreage. If additional bonds are issued in the future and property values have not increased
proportionately, such issuance may increase gross debt/property valuation ratios and thereby adversely affect the
investment quality or security of the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds.
Competitive Nature of Dallas Residential Market
The residential housing industry in the Dallas area is very competitive, and the District can give no assurance that
the building programs which are planned by the Developer will be continued or completed. The respective
competitive positions of the developers which might attempt future residential building or development projects in
the District in the sale of residential housing are affected by most of the factors discussed in this section, and such
competitive positions are directly related to tax revenues received by the District and the growth and maintenance of
taxable values in the District.
Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants
The Bond Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest
on the Bonds. Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the
Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. See
“TAX MATTERS.”
Bond Insurance Risk Factors
The District has applied for a bond insurance policy to guarantee the scheduled payment of principal and interest
on the Bonds. The District has yet to determine whether any insurance will be purchased with the Bonds. If an
insurance policy is purchased, the following are risk factors relating to bond insurance.
39
In the event of default of the payment of principal or interest with respect to the Bonds when all or some becomes
due, any owner of the Bonds shall have a claim under the applicable Bond Insurance Policy (the “Policy”) issued by
the insurer (the “Bond Insurer”) for such payments. Default of payment of principal and interest does not accelerate
the obligations of the District or the Bond Insurer. The Bond Insurer may direct and must consent to any remedies
that the Paying Agent exercises and the Bond Insurer’s consent may be required in connection with amendments to
the Bond Order.
In the event the Bond Insurer is unable to make payment of principal and interest as such payments become due
under the Policy, the Bonds are payable solely from the moneys received by the Paying Agent pursuant to the Bond
Order. In the event the Bond Insurer becomes obligated to make payments with respect to the Bonds, no assurance
is given that such event will not adversely affect the market price of the Bonds or the marketability (liquidity) for
the Bonds.
The long-term ratings on the Bonds are dependent in part on the financial strength of the Bond Insurer and its claim
paying ability. The Bond Insurer’s financial strength and claims paying ability are predicated upon a number of
factors which could change over time. No assurance is given that the long-term ratings of the Bond Insurer and of
the ratings on the Bonds insured by the Bond Insurer will not be subject to downgrade and such event could
adversely affect the market price of the Bonds or the marketability (liquidity) for the Bonds. See “MUNICIPAL
BOND INSURANCE” and “RATINGS” herein.
The obligations of the Bond Insurer are general obligations of the Bond Insurer and in an event of default by the
Bond Insurer, the remedies available to the Paying Agent may be limited by applicable bankruptcy law or other
similar laws related to insolvency.
Neither the District nor the Underwriter has made an independent investigation into the claims paying ability of the
Bond Insurer, and no assurance or representation regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of
the Bond Insurer is given. Thus, when making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully consider
the ability of the District to pay principal and interest on the Bonds and the claims paying ability of the Bond
Insurer, particularly over the life of the investment. See “MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE AND RATING”
herein for further information provided by the Bond Insurer and the Policy, which includes further instructions for
obtaining current financial information concerning the Bond Insurer.
Future and Proposed Legislation
From time to time, there are Presidential proposals, proposals of various federal committees, and legislative
proposals in the Congress and in the states that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal and state tax matters
referred to herein or adversely affect the marketability or market value of the Bonds or otherwise prevent holders of
the Bonds from realizing the full benefit, or any benefit, of the tax exemption of interest on the Bonds. Further, such
proposals may impact the marketability or market value of the Bonds simply by being proposed. It cannot be
predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether if enacted it would apply to
bonds issued prior to enactment. In addition, regulatory actions are from time to time announced or proposed and
litigation is threatened or commenced which, if implemented or concluded in a particular manner, could adversely
affect the market value, marketability or tax status of the Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether any such regulatory
action will be implemented, how any particular litigation or judicial action will be resolved, or whether the Bonds
would be impacted thereby.
Purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed legislation, regulatory
initiatives or litigation. The disclosures and opinions expressed herein are based upon existing legislation and
regulations as interpreted by relevant judicial and regulatory authorities as of the date of issuance and delivery of
the Bonds, and no opinion is expressed as of any date subsequent thereto or with respect to any proposed or pending
legislation, regulatory initiatives or litigation.
40
LEGAL MATTERS
Legal Opinions
The District will furnish to the Underwriter a transcript of certain certified proceedings incident to the issuance and
authorization of the Bonds, including a certified copy of the approving opinion of the Attorney General of Texas, as
recorded in the Bond Register of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, to the effect that the
Attorney General has examined a transcript of proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, and that based
upon such examination, the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of an
annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount, levied upon all taxable property within the
District. The District will also furnish the approving legal opinion of Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, Fort Worth,
Texas, Bond Counsel, to the effect that, based upon an examination of such transcript, the Bonds are valid and
binding obligations of the District under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent that
enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to
bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political
subdivisions such as the District. The legal opinion of Bond Counsel will further state that the Bonds are payable,
both as to principal and interest, from the levy of ad valorem taxes, without legal limitation as to rate or amount
upon all taxable property within the District, and that interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the
owners for federal income tax purposes under existing law and not subject to the alternative minimum tax on
individuals, or, except as described therein, corporations.
In addition to serving as Bond Counsel, Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, also serves as counsel to the District on matters
not related to the issuance of bonds. The legal fees to be paid to Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds are based upon a percentage of bonds actually issued, sold and delivered, and
therefore such fees are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. Certain legal and disclosure matters will
be passed upon for the Underwriter by its counsel, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas.
The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional
judgment of the attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a
legal opinion, the attorney does not become an insurer or guarantor of the expression of professional judgment, of
the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the transaction, nor does the rendering of
an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction.
Legal Review
Delivery of the Bonds will be accompanied by the approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas to the
effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the District under the Constitution and laws of the
State of Texas payable from the proceeds of a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax levied, without legal limit as
to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the District and based upon their examination of a transcript of
certified proceedings relating to the issuance and sale of the Bonds; the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to
a like effect, and to the effect that interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the holders for federal
tax purposes under existing law, and the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”) and interest on the Bonds will not be subject to the alternative minimum tax on
individuals and corporations, except as described below in the discussion regarding the adjusted current earnings
adjustments for corporations.
In its capacity as Bond Counsel, Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, has reviewed the information appearing in this Official
Statement under the captioned sections “THE BONDS” (except for the subsection “Book-Entry-Only System”),
“PLAN OF FINANCING – The Refunded Bonds” and “– Escrow Agreement,” “TAX PROCEDURES,” “THE
DISTRICT – Authority,” “– Special District Agreements” and “– Management of the District – Bond Counsel &
General Counsel,” “LEGAL MATTERS,” “TAX MATTERS” and “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF
INFORMATION” solely to determine whether such information fairly summarizes the law and documents referred
to therein. Such firm has not independently verified factual information contained in this Official Statement, nor
has such firm conducted an investigation of the affairs of the District for the purpose of passing upon the accuracy
or completeness of this Official Statement. No person is entitled to rely upon such firm’s limited participation as an
assumption of responsibility for, or an expression of opinion of any kind with regard to, the accuracy or
completeness of any of the other information contained herein.
41
No-Litigation Certificate
The District will furnish the Underwriter a certificate, dated as of the date of delivery of the Bonds, executed by
both the President or Vice President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board, to the effect that no litigation
of any nature has been filed or is to their knowledge then pending or threatened, either in state or federal courts,
contesting or attaching the Bonds; restraining or enjoining the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds;
affecting the provisions made for the payment of or security for the Bonds; in any manner questioning the authority
or proceedings for the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds; or affecting the validity of the Bonds.
No Material Adverse Change
The obligations of the Underwriter to take up and pay for the Bonds, and of the District to deliver the Bonds, are
subject to the condition that, up to the time of delivery of and receipt of payment for the Bonds, there shall have
been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the District subsequent to the date of sale from that set
forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, as it may have been finalized, supplemented or amended through the
date of sale.
TAX MATTERS
Opinion
On the date of initial delivery of the Bonds, Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, Bond Counsel, will render its opinion that,
in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof (“Existing
Law”), (1) interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the “gross income” of the
holders thereof and (2) the Bonds will not be treated as “specified private activity bonds” the interest on which
would be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion as to any other federal,
state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds.
In rendering their opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) the District's federal tax certificate and the verification
report prepared by Grant Thornton LLP, Certified Public Accountants and (b) covenants of the District with respect
to arbitrage, the application of the proceeds to be received from the issuance and sale of the Bonds and certain other
matter. Although it is expected that the Bonds will qualify as tax-exempt obligations for federal income tax
purposes as of the date of issuance, the tax-exempt status of the Bonds could be affected by future events.
However, future events beyond the control of the District, as well as the failure to observe the aforementioned
representations or covenants, could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of
issuance.
Bond Counsel’s opinion represents its legal judgment based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the
aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel’s opinion is not a guarantee of a result.
The law upon which Bond Counsel has based its opinion is subject to change by Congress, administrative
interpretation by the Department of the Treasury and to subsequent judicial interpretation. There can be no
assurance that such law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect
the tax treatment of ownership of the Bonds.
A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or the Project.
No assurances can be given as to whether or not the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds,
or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an audit is
commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the District as the taxpayer and
the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any
determination of taxability.
42
Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount
The Underwriters have represented that the initial public offering price to be paid for certain of the Bonds (the
“Original Issue Discount Bonds”), as stated on the cover of the Official Statement, may be less than the principal
amount thereof. As such, the difference between (i) the amount payable at the maturity of each Original Issue
Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Bond constitutes
original issue discount with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of any owner who has
purchased such Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering of the Bonds.
Under Existing Law, such an owner is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code)
an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such
original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond continues to be owned
by such owner. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences, see discussion set forth below.
In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated
maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond
in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for
which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income.
Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated
maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the
semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period) and the
accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of
determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition
thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the
amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on
the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual
period) less (b) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount
Bond.
The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original
Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined
according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should
consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state and local income tax purposes of
the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds
and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption,
sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds.
Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the
purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. This discussion is based on Existing Law which is subject to
change or modification retroactively.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may result in
collateral federal income tax consequences. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those
who are subject to special provisions of the Code, including financial institutions, life insurance and property and
casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers
who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations, certain
S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income, foreign corporations
subject to the branch profits tax, and individuals otherwise allowed an earned income credit.
THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING
THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN
TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM
43
THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE
DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS.
Interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for “adjusted current earnings” to calculate the alternative
minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code.
Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose
interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation.
Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a
tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a “market discount” and if the fixed
maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to
“market discount bonds” to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such bonds;
although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A “market discount bond” is one
which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in
the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount, the “revised issue price” (i.e., the issue price plus accrued
original issue discount). The “accrued market discount” is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market
discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between
the acquisition date and the final maturity date.
State, Local and Foreign Taxes
Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase, ownership or
disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax
advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons.
Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions
Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a
“financial institution,” on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not
deductible by such taxpayer in determining taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to
the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer which is
a “financial institution” allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than “specified private activity bonds,” which are
designated by a “qualified small issuer” as “qualified tax-exempt obligations.” A “qualified small issuer” is any
governmental issuer (together with any subordinate issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt
obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term “financial institution” as
referring to any corporation described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, or any person accepting deposits from the
public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business which is subject to federal or state supervision as a
financial institution.
The District has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of section 265(b) of
the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the District has covenanted to take such action which would assure, or
to refrain from such action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations.” Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000,
there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de minimis amount of premium in excess of
$10,000,000 is disregarded, however, the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view. Were the
Internal Revenue Service to conclude that the amount of such premium is not disregarded, then such
obligations might fail to satisfy the $10,000,000 limitation and the obligations would not be “qualified taxexempt obligations.”
VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS
The arithmetical accuracy of certain computations included in the schedules provided by the Underwriter on behalf
of the District relating to (a) computation of the adequacy of the bond proceeds along with certain available funds
(if any) to pay, when due, the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, and (b) the
computation of the yields on the Bonds was verified by Grant Thornton LLP. The computations were
44
independently verified by Grant Thornton LLP, based upon certain assumptions and information supplied by the
Underwriter on behalf of the District, and the District. Grant Thornton LLP has restricted its procedures to
verifying the arithmetical accuracy of certain computations and has not made any study or evaluation of the
assumptions and information upon which the computations are based and accordingly, has not expressed an opinion
on the data used, the reasonableness of the assumptions or the achievability of future events.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
In the Bond Order, the District has made the following covenants for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds. The
District is required to observe these covenants for so long as it remains obligated to pay the Bonds. Under the
covenants, the District will be obligated to provide certain updated financial information and operating data
annually, as well as timely notice of specified events, to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board or any
successor to its function as a repository (the “MSRB”), through its Electronic Municipal Market Access
(“EMMA”) system.
Annual Reports
The District will provide certain financial information and operating data annually. The financial information and
operating data which will be provided is found in the section titled “DISTRICT DEBT - Estimated Direct and
Overlapping Debt,” “DISTRICT DEBT - Debt Service Requirement Schedule,” and “TAX DATA,” and
“APPENDIX A - Financial Statements of the District.” The District will update and provide this information to the
MSRB through its EMMA system within six months after the end of each of its fiscal years ending in or after 2013.
The District may provide updated information in full text or may incorporate by reference certain other publicly
available documents, as permitted by Rule 15c2-12 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). The updated information will include audited financial statements if it commissions an audit and the audit
is completed by the required time. If the audit of such financial statements is not complete within such period, then
the District shall provide unaudited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year to the MSRB within such six
month period, and audited financial statements when the audit report on such statements becomes available. Any
such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles described in the Bond Order
or such other accounting principles as the District may be required to employ from time to time pursuant to state law
or regulation.
The District’s current fiscal year end is September 30. Accordingly, it must provide updated information by
March 30 in each year, unless the District changes its fiscal year. If the District changes its fiscal year, it will notify
the MSRB of the change.
Event Notices
The District will provide timely notices of certain events to the MSRB, but in no event will such notices be provided
to the MSRB in excess of ten days after the occurrence of an event. The District will provide notice of any of the
following events with respect to the Bonds: (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2) non-payment
related defaults, if material; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4)
unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity
providers, or their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of
proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701 TEB) or other material
notices or determinations with respect to the tax-exempt status of the Bonds, or other events affecting the taxexempt status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights of beneficial owners of the Bonds, if material; (8) bond calls,
if material, and tender offers; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of
the Bonds, if material; (11) rating changes; (12) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar event of the District
or other obligated person within the meaning of SEC Rule 15c2-12; (13) consummation of a merger, consolidation,
or acquisition involving the District or other obligated person within the meaning of such Rule or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the District or other obligated person within the meaning of such Rule, other than in
the ordinary course of business, the entry into a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination
of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material; and (14)
appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material to a decision to
purchase or sell Bonds. The term “material” when used in this paragraph shall have the meaning ascribed to it
45
under federal securities laws. Neither the Bonds nor the Bond Order makes any provision for debt service reserves
or liquidity enhancement. In addition, the District will provide timely notice of any failure by the District to provide
information, data, or financial statements in accordance with its agreement described above under “Annual
Reports.”
Availability of Information from MSRB
The District has agreed to provide the foregoing information only to the MSRB. Investors will be able to access
continuing disclosure information filed with the MSRB through its EMMA system at www.emma.msrb.org.
Limitations and Amendments
The District has agreed to update information and to provide notices of certain events only as described above. The
District has not agreed to provide other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its
financial results of operations, condition or prospects or agreed to update any information that is provided, except as
described above. The District makes no representation or warranty concerning such information or concerning its
usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date. The District disclaims any contractual or tort
liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure agreement or from
any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders of Bonds may seek a writ of mandamus to compel
the District to comply with its agreement.
The District may amend its continuing disclosure agreement from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances
that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of
operations of the District, if by only (1) the agreement, as amended, would have permitted an underwriter to
purchase or sell Bonds in the offering made hereby in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any
amendments or interpretations of SEC Rule 15c2-12 to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed
circumstances, and (2) either (a) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds
consent to the amendment or (b) any qualified professional unaffiliated with the District (such as nationally
recognized bond counsel) determines that the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the holders and
beneficial owners of the Bonds. If the District so amends the agreement, it has agreed to include with any financial
information or operating data next provided in accordance with its agreement described above under “Annual
Reports” an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the
type of financial information and operating data so provided. The District may also amend or repeal its continuing
disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provisions of the SEC Rule 15c2-12 or a court of
final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of such rule are invalid, and the District also may amend its
continuing disclosure agreement in its discretion in any other manner or circumstance, but in either case only if and
to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or
selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds.
Compliance with Prior Undertakings
The District has complied in all material respects with its previous continuing disclosure agreement made in
accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12.

Rockwall County, Texas
Independent Auditor's Report
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each
major fund of Rockwall County Consolidated Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the "District"), as
of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the District's basic
financial statements as listed in the preceding table of contents. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on
these financial statements based on our audit.
We have conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted as
promulgated within the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control
over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the
District as of September 30, 2012, and the respective changes in financial position for the year
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that
Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 3 through 7 and the Schedule of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual - General Fund on page 28 be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of
the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board,
who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and
other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures
do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements as a
whole. The supplementary information required by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality as published in the Water District Financial Management Guide is presented for
purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the

supplementary information, excluding that portion marked "Unaudited" on which we express no
opinion or provide any assurance, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements as a whole.

MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. X
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
Management's discussion and analysis of Rockwall County Consolidated Municipal Utility
District No. 1's (the "District") financial performance provides an overview of the District's
financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. Please read it in conjunction
with the District's financial statements, which begin on page 8.
USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The basic financial statements
include: (1) combined fund financial statements and government-wide financial statements and
(2) notes to the basic financial statements. The combined fund financial statements and
government-wide financial statements combine both: (1) the Statement of Net Assets and
Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and (2) the Statement of Activities and Governmental Fund
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. This report also includes other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The District's annual report includes two financial statements combining the government-wide
financial statements and the fund financial statements. The government-wide portion of these
statements provides both long-term and short-term information about the District's overall status.
Financial reporting at this level uses a perspective similar to that found in the private sector with
its basis in full accrual accounting and elimination or reclassification of internal activities.
The first of the government-wide statements is the Statement of Net Assets. This information is
found in the Statement of Net Assets column on pages 8 and 9. The Statement of Net Assets is
the District-wide statement of its financial position presenting information that includes all of the
District's assets and liabilities, with the difference reported as net assets. Over time, increases or
decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
District as a whole is improving or deteriorating. Evaluation of the overall health of the District
would extend to other non-financial factors.
The government-wide portion of Statement of Activities on pages 11 and 12 reports how the
District's net assets changed during the current fiscal year. All current year revenues and
expenses are included regardless of when cash is received or paid.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The combined statements also include fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related
accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. The District has two governmental fund types. The General Fund
accounts for resources not accounted for in another fund, maintenance tax revenues, costs and
general expenditures. The Debt Service Fund accounts for ad valorem taxes and financial
resources restricted, committed or assigned for servicing bond debt and the cost of assessing and
-3-
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
collecting taxes.
Governmental funds are reported in each of the financial statements . The focus in the fund
statements provides a distinctive view of the District's governmental funds. These statements
report short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of spendable resources and balances of
spendable resources available at the end of the year. They are useful in evaluating annual
financing requirements of the District and the commitment of spendable resources for the nearterm.
Since the government-wide focus includes the long-term view, comparisons between these two
perspectives may provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term financing decisions.
The adjustments columns, the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the
Statement of Net Assets on page 10 and the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Statement
of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities on page
13 explain the differences between the two presentations and assist in understanding the
differences between these two perspectives.
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying notes to the basic financial statements provide information essential to a full
understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic
financial statements can be found on pages 14 through 26 in this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information ("RSP'). The budgetary comparison schedule is
included as RSI for the General Fund.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of the District's financial position. In the
case of the. District, liabilities exceeded assets by $10,128,706 as of September 30, 2012. The
following is a comparative analysis of the government-wide changes in net assets:

Deferred tax revenues and deferred penalty and interest revenues on delinquent
taxes for the 2011 and prior tax levies became part of recognized revenue in the
governmental activities of the District.

NOTE 1.
CREATION OF DISTRICT
Rockwall County Consolidated Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the "District") was formed
pursuant to a Consolidation Agreement dated April 5, 1976 between Rockwall County Municipal
Utility District No. 1 (created by the Texas Water Rights Commission ("TWRC") on February
29, 1972), Rockwall County Municipal Utility District No. 3 (created by the TWRC on June 19,
1972) and Rockwall County Municipal Utility District No. 4 (created by the TWRC on June 19,
1972). The District assumed the powers and functions of the individual districts. The TWRC is
presently known as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the "Commission").
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, the District is
empowered to purchase, operate and maintain all facilities, plants, and improvements necessary
to provide water, sanitary sewer service, storm sewer drainage, irrigation, solid waste collection
and disposal, including recycling, and to construct parks and recreational facilities for the
residents of the District. The District is also empowered to contract for or employ its own peace
officers with powers to make arrests and to establish, operate and maintain a fire department to
perform all fire-fighting activities within the District. The District was originally organized in
1972 but remained inactive until October 25, 2002, when the Commission confirmed the
appointment of five temporary directors for the District and the District was reactivated. The
District held its reorganizational meeting on February 5, 2003 and sold its first bonds on March
23, 2006.
NOTE 2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying basic financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB"). In addition, the accounting records of
the District are maintained generally in accordance with the Water District Financial
Management Guide published by the Commission.
The GASB has established the criteria for determining whether or not a given entity is a
component unit. The criteria are: (1) is the potential component unit a legally separate entity, (2)
does the primary government appoint a voting majority of the potential component unit's board,
(3) is the primary government able to impose its will on the potential component unit, (4) is there
a financial benefit or burden relationship.
The District was created as an independent
municipality. The District does not meet the criteria for inclusion as a component unit of any
entity nor does any other entity meet the component unit criteria for inclusion in the District's
basic financial statements.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Statement Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GASB Codification of
Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards Part II, Financial Reporting.
The GASB Codification sets forth standards for external financial reporting for all state and local
government entities, which include a requirement for a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement
of Activities. It requires the classification of net assets into three components: Invested in
Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt; Restricted; and Unrestricted. These classifications are
defined as follows:
•
Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt - This component of net assets consists
of capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and
reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings
that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvements of those assets.
•
Restricted Net Assets - This component of net assets consists of external constraints
placed on the use of net assets imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants),
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulation of other governments or constraints imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
•
Unrestricted Net Assets - This component of net assets consists of net assets that do not
meet the definition of "Restricted" or "Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt."
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, generally it is the District's
policy to use restricted resources first.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities display information about the
District as a whole. The District's Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities are
combined with the governmental fund financial statements. The District is viewed as a specialpurpose government and has the option of combining these financial statements.
The Statement of Net Assets is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report on
the full accrual basis, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and
receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. Any amounts recorded due to and due
from other funds are eliminated in the Statement of Net Assets.
-15-
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 2.
Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The Statement of Activities is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report only
items related to current year revenues and expenditures. Items such as capital outlay are
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. Internal activities between
governmental funds, if any, are eliminated to obtain net total revenues and expenses of the
government-wide Statement of Activities.
Fund Financial Statements
As discussed above, the District's fund financial statements are combined with the governmentwide statements. The fund statements include a Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances.
Governmental Funds
The District has two governmental funds and considers each to be a major fund.
General Fund - To account for resources not required to be accounted for in another fund,
maintenance tax revenues, costs and general expenditures.
Debt Service Fund - To account for ad valorem taxes and financial resources restricted,
committed or assigned for servicing bond debt and the cost of assessing and collecting taxes.
Basis of Accounting
The District uses the modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental fund types. The
modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues when both "measurable and available."
Measurable means the amount can be determined. Available means collectable within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. The District considers revenue
reported in governmental funds to be available if they are collectable within 60 days after year
end. Also, under the modified accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recorded when the
related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, which are
recognized as expenditures when payment is due.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 2.
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Property taxes considered available by the District and included in revenue include taxes
collected during the year and taxes collected after year-end, which were considered available to
defray the expenditures of the current year. Deferred tax revenues are those taxes which the
District does not reasonably expect to be collected soon enough in the subsequent period to
finance current expenditures.
Amounts transferred from one fund to another fund are reported as other financing sources or
uses. Loans by one fund to another fund and amounts paid by one fund for another fund are
reported as interfund receivables and payables in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet if there
is intent to repay the amount and if the debtor fund has the ability to repay the advance on a
timely basis.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported in
the government-wide Statement of Net Assets. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at
their fair market value on the date donated.
Repairs and maintenance are recorded as
expenditures in the governmental fund incurred and as an expense in the government-wide
Statement of Activities. Capital asset additions, improvements and preservation costs that extend
the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Interest costs, including developer interest, engineering fees and certain other costs are
capitalized as part of the asset.
Assets are capitalized, including infrastructure assets, if they have an original cost greater than
$10,000 and a useful life over two years. Depreciation is calculated on each class of depreciable
property using the straight-line method of depreciation. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Years
Buildings
Water System
40
10-45
Wastewater System
10-45
Drainage System
All Other Equipment
10-45
3-20
To date all capital assets constructed by the District have been conveyed to the City of Fate,
Texas for operations and maintenance , see Note 6.
- 17 -
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 2.
Budgeting
In compliance with governmental accounting principles, the Board of Directors annually adopts
an unappropriated budget for the General Fund. The budget was not amended during the current
fiscal year.
Pensions
The District has not established a pension plan as the District does not have employees. The
Internal Revenue Service has determined that fees of office received by Directors are considered
to be wages subject to federal income tax withholding for payroll tax purposes only.
Measurement Focus
Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recognized within the
various financial statements. In the government-wide Statement of Net Assets and Statement of
Activities, the governmental activities are presented using the economic resources measurement
focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating
income, changes in net assets, financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabilities
associated with the activities are reported. Fund equity is classified as net assets.
Governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or financial flow measurement focus.
Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet, and the
reported fund balances provide an indication of available spendable or appropriable resources.
Operating statements of governmental fund types report increases and decreases in available
spendable resources.
Fund Balances
GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund-type Definitions,
requires the classification of fund balances in governmental funds using the following hierarchy:
Nonspendable: amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or
because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted: amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional
provisions, or enabling legislation, or because of constraints that are imposed externally.
- l s-
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 2.
Fund Balances (Continued)
Committed: amounts that can be spent only for purposes determined by a formal action of the
Board of Directors. The Board is the highest level of decision-making authority for the District.
This action must be made no later than the end of the fiscal year. Commitments may be
established, modified, or rescinded only through ordinances or resolutions approved by the
Board. The District does not have any committed fund balances.
Assigned: amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, but
that are intended to be used for specific purposes. The District has not adopted a formal policy
regarding the assignment of fund balances and does not have any assigned fund balances.
Unassigned: all other spendable amounts in the General Fund.
When expenditures are incurred for which restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned fund
balances are available, the District considers amounts to have been spent first out of restricted
funds, then commmitted funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The bonds are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied upon all property subject to
taxation within the District, without limitation as to rate or amount.
During the year ended September 30, 2012, the District levied an ad valorem debt service tax
rate of $0.50 per $100 of assessed valuation, which resulted in a tax levy of $1,155,140 on the
adjusted taxable valuation of $231,027,899 for the 2011 tax year. The bond order requires the
District to levy and collect an ad valorem debt service tax sufficient to pay interest and principal
on bonds when due and the cost of assessing and collecting taxes, see Note 7 for maintenance tax
levy.
The District's tax calendar is as follows:
Levy Date
- October 1, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
Lien Date
- January 1.
Due Date
- Not later than January 31.
Delinquent Date
- February 1, at which time the taxpayer is liable for penalty and interest.

SIGNIFICANT BOND ORDER AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The bond orders state that the District is required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to
provide continuing disclosure of certain general financial information and operating data with
respect to the District to the state. information depository. This information, along with the
audited annual financial statements, is to be provided within six months after the end of each
fiscal year and shall continue to be provided through the life of the bonds.
NOTE 5.
DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District's deposit policy
for custodial credit risk requires compliance with the provisions of Texas statutes.
Texas statutes require that any cash balance in any fund shall, to the extent not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor, be continuously secured by a valid
pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of the
District, having an aggregate market value, including accrued interest, at all times equal to the
uninsured cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. At fiscal year end, the
carrying amount of the District's deposits was $2,552,491 and the bank balance was $2,283,571.
Of the bank balance, $280,130 was covered by federal depository insurance and the balance was
collateralized with securities held in a third party depository in the District's name.
The carrying values of the deposits are included in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and
the Statement of Net Assets at September 30, 2012, as listed below:

Under Texas law, the District is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that
primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity and that address investment diversification,
yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management, and all District funds

suitability of the investment to the District's financial requirements, first; preservation and safety
of principal, second; liquidity, third; marketability of the investments if the need arises to
liquidate the investment before maturity, fourth; diversification of the investment portfolio, fifth;
and yield, sixth. The District's investments must be made "with judgment and care, under
prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise
in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived." No person
may invest District funds without express written authority from the Board of Directors.

authority to purchase investments as defined in the Public Funds Investment Act. Authorized
investments are summarized as follows: (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities, (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities,
(3) certain collateralized mortgage obligations, (4) other obligations, the principal of and interest

CAPITAL ASSETS
The District operates in contractual conjunction with the City of Fate, Texas (the "City"). In this
arrangement , the facilities constructed by the District are conveyed to the City. The City
maintains the facilities and operates the facilities for the benefit of the residents of the District.
Therefore, the District does not have capital assets on its balance sheet . As of September 30,

been conveyed to the City.
NOTE 7.
MAINTENANCE TAX
On May 15, 2004, the voters of the District approved the levy and collection of a maintenance
tax in an unlimited amount per $100 of assessed valuation of taxable property within the District.
This maintenance tax is to be used by the General Fund to pay expenditures of operating the
District's waterworks and wastewater systems. During the current fiscal year, the District levied
an ad valorem maintenance tax at the rate of $0.22 per $100 of assessed valuation, which
resulted in a tax levy of $508,262 on the adjusted taxable valuation of $231,027,899 for the 2011
tax year.

SPECIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT
The District, Rockwall County Consolidated Municipal Utility District No. 2 (District No. 2), the

District, have entered into the Special District Agreement dated December 1, 2003. Pursuant to
the terms of the agreement, the City agrees to provide retail water capacity to 1,300 residential
units and sewer capacity to 700 residential units within the districts. The City agrees to own,
operate and maintain the facilities and charge user fees equal to those charged others within its
boundaries. Under the agreement, the Developer agrees to finance and construct on behalf of the
districts the internal water, sewer and drainage facilities, see Note 9.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 8.
SPECIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT (Continued)
On May 17, 2006, the District, Rockwall County Municipal Utility District's No. 6, 7, 8 and 9
(District's No. 6, 7, 8 and 9), the City, and PRA/Fate Development Corp. entered into the Special
District Agreement No. 2. This agreement noted that District No. 2 has become dormant and
that District's No. 6, 7, 8 and 9 have been created over land comprising of District No. 2 and are
now party to the original agreement in the place of District No. 2. It was also noted that the
newly created districts have certain road powers that the District does not have and that the
construction and acquisition of roads will be subject to the same rights and obligations as the
water, sewer and drainage facilities referenced in the original agreement. Pursuant to the terms
of the agreement, the City agrees to provide additional retail water capacity to 1,000 residential
units and sewer capacity to 500 residential units with the districts.
Pursuant to the Capacity Allocation Agreement between the District and District's No. 6, 7, 8
and 9 approved on September 19, 2006, the districts have agreed that all the water and sewer
capacity mentioned in the Special District Agreement and the Special District Agreement No. 2
will be allocated to the District. The districts will cooperate with the Developer and the City for
any additional water and sewer capacity that will be needed by any of the districts.
NOTE 9. UNREIM 3URSED COSTS
The District has executed development financing agreements with Developers within the
District. These agreements call for the Developers to fund costs associated with water, sewer
and drainage facilities and to advance monies to fund operations until such time as the District
can sell bonds to reimburse the Developers. As of September 30, 2012, the Developers indicated
that approximately $2,030,827 had been advanced on behalf of the District in connection with
these agreements. Since any reimbursement is contingent upon a future bond sale, the District
has not accrued a liability related to these items.
NOTE 10.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction
of assets, error and omission and natural disasters for which the District carries commercial
insurance. There have been no significant reductions in coverage from the prior year and
settlements have not exceeded coverage in the past three years.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 11.
INTERFUND PAYABLES AND RECEIVABLES
As of September 30, 2012, the District recorded interfund liabilities of $5,571 in the General
Fund as due to the Debt Service Fund for debt service tax collections.
NOTE 12.
WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPACITY
On June 24, 2003, the City and PRA/Fate Development Corp (the "Developer") entered into an
agreement for certain off-site water and sewer improvements to serve the District (the "2003
Agreement"). The Developer agreed to pay the entire cost for the design and construction of the
improvements and, as consideration for the construction of the improvements, the City shall
provide access, capacity and rights to water and sewer services for the Developer to be used on
the property provided by the improvements.
In order to adequately serve the property with sewer service, the City has become a member of
the Sabine Creek Wastewater System, which is owned and operated by North Texas Municipal
Water District ("NTMWD"). The City's capacity contracts with NTMWD require annual debt
service payments from the City to NTMWD. Any shortfall between the City's sewer revenue
and the debt service payment to NTMWD related to the District would be paid by the Developer
pursuant to the 2003 Agreement.
On November 15, 2010, the 2003 Agreement was amended. The City will remain obligated to
fully reimburse the Developer for remaining unreimbursed project costs. In consideration for the
Developer funding the project costs and project improvements, the City agrees to provide the
Developer, and in turn the District, with 2,300 residential units of water capacity and 1,200
residential units of wastewater capacity.
In consideration for the provisions of wastewater service to the District and reservation of
wastewater capacity for the District, the Developer had made and shall make annual payments to
the City according to the following schedule; $400,000, 200,000, and $152,525 due on
November 30, 2010, September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012 respectively, for the debt
service payments to NTMWD. As of September 30, 2012, the District paid $752,525 to the City
for the payments due November 30, 2010, September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012, in lieu
of Developer payment or as reimbursement to the Developer for prior payments which are of
benefit to the District. After payment of these amounts, the Developer and District have no other
obligation to pay such shortfall amounts to the City. The term of the agreement is the earlier of
20 years or satisfaction of all terms and conditions by the parties to the agreement.

APPENDIX B
FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION
Proposed Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel
An opinion in substantially the following form will be delivered by
Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP, Bond Counsel,
upon the delivery of the Series 2013 Refunding Bonds, assuming no material changes in facts or
law.
WE HAVE EXAMINED certified copies of proceedings relating to the authorization and
issuance by Rockwall County Consolidated Municipal Utility District No. 1(the “Issuer” or the
“District”) of its bonds dated April 1, 2013 in the amount of FIVE MILLION THREE HUNDRED
SEVENTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,370,000.00), being more particularly
described as follows:
ROCKWALL COUNTY CONSOLIDATED MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT
NO. 1 UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2013, dated April 1,
2013 (the “Series 2013 Bonds”) in the original principal amount of $5,370,000.00,
payable as specified in a Bond Order of the governing body of the Issuer, dated
March 5, 2013, authorizing the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds (the “Bond Order”)
bearing interest at the rates per annum specified in the Bond Order.
OUR EXAMINATION into the legality and validity of the Series 2013 Bonds included a
review of a transcript of certified proceedings of the Issuer relating to the authorization and issuance
of the Series 2013 Bonds, including the Bond Order, and customary certifications and opinions of
officials of the Issuer and other pertinent showings.
WE ALSO HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 as amended to the date hereof (the “Code”), the regulations of the United
States Department of the Treasury adopted thereunder, rulings and procedures thereunder pertinent to
this opinion, such other materials as we deemed necessary to render the opinions hereinafter
expressed and the initially executed and delivered Bonds of the Series 2013 Bonds.
BASED ON OUR EXAMINATION, it is our opinion that:
1.
The Series 2013 Bonds and Bond Order are duly authorized and issued in conformity
with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas now in force and are valid and legally binding
obligations of the District in accordance with their terms and conditions, except as limited by:
(i)
State and federal laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions relating to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganizations, moratoriums and the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally; and
(ii)
Equitable principles which could limit specific performance.

2.
The Series 2013 Bonds are full faith and credit obligations of the District. The
District is obligated to exercise its ad valorem taxing power without legal limitation as to rate or
amount, upon all taxable property within the District to pay both the principal of and interest on the
Series 2013 Bonds.
3.
Under the terms and conditions of the Bond Order, the District has the right to issue
additional bonds payable from the same source, secured in the same manner and in all things on a
parity with the Series 2013 Bonds.
4.
Assuming compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of the Bond Order, the
interest paid by the Issuer on the Bonds and received by the owners of the Bonds is, under existing
laws, regulations, court decisions and Internal Revenue Service rulings, (i) excluded from the gross
income of the recipient of those payments for federal income tax purposes and (ii) not treated as a
“preference item” for calculation of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and
corporations under Section 57(a)(5) of the Code. Interest on the Series 2013 Bonds owned by a
corporation will be included in such corporation’s adjusted current earnings for purposes of
calculating the alternative minimum taxable income of such corporations, other than an S
corporation, a qualified mutual fund, a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate
investment trust, or a financial asset securitization investment trust. A corporation’s alternative
minimum taxable income is the basis on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55
of the Code will be computed.
WE EXPRESS NO OPINION with respect to any other federal, state or local tax
consequences, under present law or any proposed legislation, resulting form the receipt or accrual of
interest on, or the acquisition or disposition of, the Series 2013 Bonds. Ownership of tax-exempt
obligations such as the Series 2013 Bonds may result in collateral federal tax consequences to,
among others, financial institutions, life insurance companies, property and casualty insurance
companies, certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States, Subchapter S
corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or
Railroad Retirement Benefits, and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued
indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to, taxexempt obligations.
IN PROVIDING THE FOREGOING OPINIONS, we have relied upon representations of the
Issuer with respect to matters solely within the knowledge of the Issuer, which we have not
independently verified, and we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of, and the Issuer’s
continuing compliance with, the representations and covenants contained in the Bond Order
pertaining to those sections of the Code which affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on
the Series 2013 Bonds for federal income tax purposes. In the event that such representations are
determined to be inaccurate or incomplete, or the Issuer fails to comply with the foregoing provisions
Kelly Hart & Hallman, a Limited Liability Partnership
RCCMUD1 Series 2013
Page 3 of 3
of the Bond Order, interest on the Series 2013 Bonds could become includable in gross income from
the date of original delivery, regardless of the date on which the event causing such inclusion occurs.
OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such
opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to
update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to
our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective.
Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue
Service (the “Service”); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of
existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem
relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with
rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for
federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence
an audit of the Series 2013 Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current
published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the
Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if
taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Series 2013 Bonds as
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds is as
bond counsel for the Issuer and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole
purpose of rendering an opinion with respect to the legality and validity of the Series 2013 Bonds
and the organization of the District under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and for no
other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review
of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of
the result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not investigated or verified,
any records, data or other material relating to the Issuer or to the financial condition or capability of
the Issuer, and we have not assumed any responsibility, and we express no opinions, with respect
thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Series
2013 Bonds.
