Conservation Districts + TX Attorney General Opinion

What’s happening? Texas Attorney General Opinion KP-0389 answers a question from the Chambers County Auditor. The auditor wants know whether whether the Trinity Bay Conservation District board of directors possesses the authority to change the directors’ terms of office from two to four years

Why is this important? In clear terms about the Water Code, the AG Opinion says that Water Code “section 49.103 not only establishes a four-year term for directors in subsection (a) but also includes its own choice-of-conflicting-law provision in subsection (e), resolving any conflict with prior statutory enactments about director terms”

How will this be important? Watch your Water Board and Conservation Boards for statutory compliance.
