Section 6.42 – Organization, Meeting and Compensation

Rules regarding organization of the appraisal review board are limited. A majority of the appraisal review constitutes a quorum. Rules for meetings are also flexible. Compensation is a per diem set by the appraisal district.

Sec. 6.42. Organization, Meetings and Compensation.

(a) A majority of the appraisal review board constitutes a quorum. The board shall elect a chairman and a secretary from its members.

(b) The board may meet at any time at the call of the chairman or as provided by rule of the board. The board shall meet to examine the appraisal records within 10 days after the date the chief appraiser submits the records to the board.

(c) Members of the board are entitled to per diem set by the appraisal district budget for each day the board meets and to reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of board functions as provided by the district budget.

(d) Repealed by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 515, § 1, eff. June 12, 1995.

Acts 1979, 66th Leg., p. 2232, ch. 841, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1982. Amended by Acts 1991, 72nd Leg., ch. 836, § 7.1, eff. Jan. 1, 1992; Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 515, § 1, eff. June 12, 1995.

Notes:
Three appraisal review board panel members were sued by a tax consultant claiming negligence in a value determination for allegedly not basing the value reduction on a preponderance of the evidence presented at the protest hearing. The members asserted the affirmative defense of judicial immunity. The court found appraisal review board members perform quasi-judicial functions and as such benefit from judicial immunity in the performance of their duties. Sledd v. Garrett, 123 S.W.3d 592 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. denied.).
