Texas HB240 modifies the quorum requirement for tax levy votes in counties with a population of 3.3 million or more.

Texas HB240 amends the Local Government Code to change the quorum requirement for tax levy votes in counties with a population of 3.3 million or more. Currently, a tax may be levied if at least four members of the court are present. The bill specifies that in such large counties, a tax may be levied if five members are present or if four members are present and the absent member provides a written notice of absence for illness or other good cause. This change applies to commissioners court meetings held after the bill's effective date.
