hello.

As the ongoing drama continues. The president of the board called a meeting ,,there was due notice, he stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss a board members who was taking too much time of the manager ..etc..
He provided no proof.

on the day of the meeting,one hour before the meeting he send a legal documents proposal for a resolution of the board of directors.

When i protested that the resolution of the board document was sent to the board one hour before the meeting. He said. that a written resolution of the board is the same thing as the original notification which was to discuss certain behavior.

Is it legal in texas for a duly called meeting of the board with 5 days notice, which specificed to discuss a certain board members interactions , for the president to then submit a resolution of the board which is specific diciplinary actions that will be taken.

The resolution itself actually just says, no board member can direct any employee on their own without board approval..
that's fine.. that's already the law. So it's kinda dumb and a waste of time.

I purposely did not call in to the meeting, I stated my objection before the meeting was to start regarding the surprise last minute adding a formal resolution of the board with a vote etc to the agenda.??

Under the Residential Property Owners Protections Act (which does not apply to condo associations) the requirement is that the meeting notice state a "general subject" of the meeting.

If there were a similar rule for condo associations, I think they met the criteria. I don't think there is any requirement for meeting notification for condo associations.

Either way, there is nothing preventing a resolution from being drafted an hour before or even at the meeting. Any resolution prepared before the meeting would have to be a draft since changes could be made before voting on it.

ben,, i found this info on nolo that discusses different types of board meeings and the different requirements for each..

Discussions and Actions Constrained by Agenda
In general, “the board may not discuss or take action on any item at a nonemergency meeting unless the item was placed on the agenda” included with the notice of meeting. (Civ. Code § 4930(a).)
