Texas Local Government Code - LOC GOV'T § 344.101. Board of Directors

(a) Except as provided by Subsections (e) and (f), a district is governed by a board of seven directors appointed in the same manner as provided by Section 344.052(a) for the appointment of temporary directors.

(b) Initial appointees under this section shall draw lots to determine their terms so that:

(c) Directors serve staggered two-year terms.

(d) A vacancy in the office of director shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner that the vacant position was originally filled.

(e) The governing body of a municipality by resolution may appoint the governing body's membership as the board of directors of the district, if the appointment is approved by the voters in a creation election or continuation referendum under this chapter. A member of a governing body appointed under this section as an ex officio director serves a term concurrent with the member's term as a member of the governing body.

(f) In a district for which the governing body of the municipality does not serve as the district's board of directors, the governing body may create a board of directors for which one director is appointed by each member of the governing body to serve at the pleasure of that member for a term not to exceed two years and that expires when the member of the governing body that appointed the director leaves office.
