§ 11.0125. REMOVAL OF A COMMISSION MEMBER.  (a) It is a 
ground for removal from the commission that:
		(1)  a public member does not have at the time of taking 
office the qualifications required by Section 11.0121;
		(2)  a public member does not maintain during service 
on the commission the qualifications required by Section 11.0121;
		(3)  a member is ineligible for membership under 
Section 11.012(c), 11.0122, or 11.0123;
		(4)  a member cannot, because of illness or disability, 
discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's 
term;  or
		(5)  a member 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 director has knowledge that a potential ground 
for removal exists, the 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 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.
