Today, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. GA-0907 (2012) was issued on "Vacancies on a junior college district's board of trustees."

The Summary to the Opinion states,

"Depending on the facts of the case and the circumstances surrounding any particular litigation, an application for a writ of quo warranto, a declaratory judgment, or an injunction might allow a court to determine whether a member of a board of trustees of a junior college district vacated his or her position.

A vacancy on the board of trustees of a junior college district whose trustees are elected from single-member trustee districts must be filled by appointment made by the remaining members of the board. A person elected or appointed to fill a vacancy on a junior college district's board of trustees must perform the duties of office until his or her successor is duly qualified."
