Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025

(2) does not have at the time of taking office the qualifications required by Section 301.002;

(4) is ineligible for membership on the commission under Section 301.003 or 301.004;
(5) cannot, because of illness or disability, discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's term; or
(6) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled meetings of the members that the member is eligible to attend during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote of the members.
(b) The validity of an action of the commission is not affected by the fact that it was taken when a ground for the removal of a member of the commission existed.
(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the chair of the potential ground. The chair shall then notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists. If the potential ground for removal involves the chair, the executive director shall notify the next highest ranking member, who shall then notify the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
