"The office of the county judge will work with the Civil Legal Division and the Election Office to review the petition and supporting documentation to ensure compliance with any and all statutory requirements before proceeding,” Treviño said in a news release.

The petition said incorporating Starbase would streamline the process required to build amenities necessary for the residents already living there. 

“The registered voters in the proposed Starbase area will have an opportunity to vote on whether to incorporate as Starbase, Texas,” the news release stated. “Once an election is concluded and the canvassing confirmed, the Cameron County Commissioners Court will confirm and ratify the election.”
