§ 51.057. GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL. (a) It is a ground for
removal from the commission that a member:
(1) does not have at the time of taking office the
qualifications required by Section 51.053;
(2) does not maintain during service on the commission
the qualifications required by Section 51.053;
(3) is ineligible for membership under Section
51.0535;
(4) cannot, because of illness or disability,
discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's
term; or
(5) is absent from more than half of the regularly
scheduled commission meetings that the member is eligible to attend
during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote
of the commission.
(b) The validity of an action of the commission is not
affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a
commission member exists.
(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential
ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the
presiding officer of the commission of the potential ground. The
presiding officer shall then notify the governor and the attorney
general that a potential ground for removal exists. If the
potential ground for removal involves the presiding officer, the
executive director shall notify the next highest ranking officer of
the commission, who shall then notify the governor and the attorney
general that a potential ground for removal exists.
