Texas Local Government Code - LOC GOV'T § 392.033. Appointment of Commissioners of a Regional Housing Authority

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The commissioners court of each county in a regional housing authority shall appoint a person to serve as a commissioner of the authority. Subsequently, the commissioners court of each county shall appoint successors to the commissioner of the authority appointed by that commissioners court. An appointed commissioner of the authority may not be an officer or employee of the county. A commissioner may be:

(1) a tenant of a public project over which the housing authority has jurisdiction; or

(2) a recipient of housing assistance administered through the authority's housing choice voucher program or project-based rental assistance program.

(b) If the area of operation of an authority is increased to include another county, the commissioners court of that county shall appoint a person to serve as a commissioner of the authority and, subsequently, the successors to that commissioner.

(c) If there are only two counties in the housing authority, the commissioners of the authority appointed by the commissioners courts shall appoint an additional commissioner to serve as commissioner of the authority. Subsequently, the commissioners of the authority appointed by the commissioners courts shall appoint a person to succeed the additional commissioner if the successor's term of office begins during their term of office. If the area of operation of the authority is increased to more than two counties, a successor to the additional commissioner is not appointed.

(d) If the housing authority contains only one county, the commissioners court of that county shall appoint three persons instead of one person to serve as commissioners of the authority. Subsequently, the commissioners court of the county shall appoint successors to the commissioners of the authority appointed by that commissioners court.

(e) A certificate of the appointment of a commissioner appointed by a commissioners court shall be filed with the county clerk. The certificate is conclusive evidence of the proper appointment of the commissioner.

(f) A certificate of the appointment of an additional commissioner by the commissioners of an authority composed of only two counties shall be filed with the records of the authority. The certificate is conclusive evidence of the proper appointment of the commissioner.

(g) Appointments made under this section must comply with the requirements of Section 392.0331, if applicable.
