§ 11.009. REMOVAL OF BOARD MEMBERS. (a) It is a ground
for removal from the board if a member:
(1) does not have at the time of appointment the
qualifications required by Section 11.005(a);
(2) does not maintain during service on the board the
qualifications required by Section 11.005(a);
(3) violates a prohibition established by Section
11.006(b), (c), or (d);
(4) cannot discharge the member's duties for a
substantial part of the term for which the member is appointed
because of illness or disability; or
(5) is absent from more than half of the regularly
scheduled board meetings that the member is eligible to attend
during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by majority
vote of the board.
(b) The validity of an action of the board is not affected by
the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a board member
exists.
(c) If the commissioner has knowledge that a potential
ground for removal exists, the commissioner shall notify the
chairman of the board of the ground. The chairman shall then notify
the governor and the attorney general that a potential ground for
removal exists. If the potential ground for removal involves the
chairman, the commissioner shall notify the next highest ranking
officer of the board, who shall then notify the governor and the
attorney general that a potential ground for removal exists.
