Any holder of the bonds or other debt obligations or of any of the attached coupons, if any, may by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce the security provided for in this Part, and may by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings enforce and compel performance of all of the duties required to be performed by the governing body and officials of the political subdivision by the provisions of this Part and the proceedings authorizing the issuance of such bonds or other debt obligations.
