Sec. 81.027. REMOVAL OF DIRECTOR. (a) The board of directors may remove a director from the board at any regular meeting by resolution declaring the director's position vacant. It is a ground for removal from the board that a director: (1) does not have at the time of taking office the applicable qualifications for office, if any; (2) does not maintain during service on the board the applicable qualifications for office, if any; (3) is ineligible for membership under Section 81.028 or 81.031 ; (4) cannot, because of illness or disability, discharge the director's duties for a substantial part of the director's term; or (5) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled board meetings that the director is eligible to attend during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote of the board. (b) The validity of an action of the board of directors is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a director exists. (c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal of a director exists, the executive director shall notify the president of the state bar and the director of the ground.
