Sec. 45.032.  REVENUE BONDS.  To provide funds to acquire, construct, improve, or equip gymnasia, stadia, or other recreational facilities, the board, city council or commission, or commissioners court may issue revenue bonds payable from and secured by liens on and pledges of all or any part of any of the revenues from any rentals, rates, charges, or other revenues from any or all of the facilities, in the manner provided by this subchapter.  The bonds may be additionally secured by mortgages and deeds of trust on any real property on which any of the facilities are or will be located, or any real or personal property incident or appurtenant to the facilities, and the board, city council or commission, or commissioners court may authorize the execution and delivery of trust indentures, mortgages, deeds of trust, or other forms of encumbrances to evidence those liens.  The bonds may be issued to mature serially or otherwise not to exceed 50 years from their date.

The bonds may be made redeemable before maturity.
