(a) When a county is added to the district, the board shall change the number of directors so that an equal number of directors are appointed by the commissioners court of each county in the district. The terms of the directors then serving expire on a date set by the board, not later than the 90th day after the date the county is added to the district, and the directors continue to serve only until the new directors have been appointed.
(b) The board shall send to the commissioners court of each county in the district notice of the number of directors the county may appoint.
(c) After receiving the notice from the board, the commissioners courts of all the counties in the district shall confer to determine the number of new directors from each county who will serve four-year terms and the number of new directors from each county who will serve two-year terms. The commissioners courts shall provide that, as nearly as possible, half of the new directors, in total and from each county, serve four-year terms and the remaining new directors serve two-year terms.
(d) The commissioners court of each county shall appoint new directors before the date set by the board in Subsection (a). A commissioners court may reappoint a current director.
(e) The new directors from each county shall draw lots to determine which directors serve four-year terms and which directors serve two-year terms in accordance with Subsection (c).
