§ 6.414. AUXILIARY APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD MEMBERS.
Official statutory text
(a) The board of directors of an appraisal district by resolution of a majority of the members may provide for a number of auxiliary appraisal review board members that the board considers appropriate to hear taxpayer protests before the appraisal review board and to assist the board in performing its duties.
(b) An auxiliary board member is appointed in the same manner and for the same term as an appraisal review board member under Section 6.41 and is subject to the same eligibility requirements and restrictions as a board member under Sections 6.41, 6.411, 6.412, and 6.413.
(c) An auxiliary board member may attend meetings of the appraisal review board but may not vote in a determination made by the board or serve as chairman or secretary of the board. An auxiliary board member is not included in determining what constitutes a quorum of the board or whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the board.
(d) An auxiliary board member may hear taxpayer protests before the appraisal review board. An auxiliary board member may not hear taxpayer protests before a special panel established under Section 6.425 unless the member is eligible to be appointed to the special panel. If one or more auxiliary board members sit on a panel established under Section 6.425 or 41.45 to conduct a protest hearing, the number of regular appraisal review board members required by that section to constitute the panel is reduced by the number of auxiliary board members sitting. An auxiliary board member sitting on a panel is considered a regular board member for all purposes related to the conduct of the hearing.
(e) An auxiliary board member is entitled to make a recommendation to the appraisal review board regarding a protest heard by the member but is not entitled to vote on the determination of the protest by the board.
(f) An auxiliary board member is entitled to compensation as provided by the appraisal district budget and is not entitled to a per diem or reimbursement of expenses under Section 6.42(c).
