What are the requirements for being a Director?
Chapter 54, Texas Water Code, requires MUD Directors to be at least 18 years of age, a resident of Texas, and either a qualified voter in the district or an owner of taxable land within the district. Certain persons are disqualified from serving as a district director. A developer of property in the district is disqualified. Certain relatives, employees, consultants, and parties to specified contracts also may not serve on the Board. A district is subject to Chapter 171, Texas Local Government Code, which regulates conflicts of interest on the board.
How are Directors chosen?
MUD Directors are elected via the procedures outlined in the Texas Election Code. Voters elect all Directors for four-year, staggered terms. Vacancies on the Board that occur between election years are filled by the Board by appointment.
