§ 12.054. REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER. (a) It is a ground for
removal from the commission if a commissioner:
(1) does not have at the time of appointment or
maintain during service on the commission the qualifications
required by Section 12.053;
(2) violates a prohibition provided by Section 12.053
or by Subchapter D;
(3) cannot discharge the commissioner's duties for a
substantial part of the term for which the commissioner is
appointed because of illness or disability; or
(4) is absent from more than half of the regularly
scheduled commission meetings that the commissioner is eligible to
attend during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by
majority vote of the commission.
(b) The validity of an action of the commission is not
affected by the fact that the action is taken when a ground for
removal of a commissioner 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 officer of the
commission, who shall notify the governor and the attorney general
that a potential ground for removal exists.
