(a) The voting rights of a person entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of a savings bank are the same as those of a shareholder of a domestic business corporation under the Texas Business Corporation Act.
(b) The bylaws of a savings bank must specify the voting requirements, including quorum requirements, for conducting business at a meeting of the members or shareholders.
(c) The bylaws of a savings bank must provide for the voting rights of the members or shareholders. The bylaws must provide the manner of computing the number of votes that a member or shareholder is entitled to cast. The bylaws of a capital stock savings bank may provide that only shareholders may vote.
(d) Voting may be in person or by proxy. A proxy must be in writing and signed by the member or shareholder or the member's or shareholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact and be filed with the secretary of the savings bank. Unless otherwise specified in the proxy, a proxy continues until:
(1) a written revocation is delivered to the secretary; or
(2) the proxy is superseded by a subsequent proxy.
