It normally is the intent of the Board to have a quorum physically present at the above address and to allow any Board members not physically present to participate by live two-way video and audio feed in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act.

A quorum of the Board will not be physically present at the usual Headquarters address. Neither will the presiding officer physically present there. Nevertheless, the Meeting will be open to the public. Every effort will be made to facilitate public viewing of the Meeting while it is in progress via live video feed and, subject to limitations of the technology and logistics, to allow the usual opportunities for those who wish to speak to do so.
