TX HB4262

Establishes a process allowing voters to recall school district board of trustees members for specific grounds: malfeasance or misconduct in office, violation of oath of office, failure to perform legal duties, misuse of public property or funds, or missing three or more consecutive board meetings

Requires recall petitions to be signed by at least 20% of voters who participated in the most recent general trustee election, with signatures collected no earlier than 180 days into the trustee's term and no more than 90 days before petition submission

Mandates a district court hearing within 10 days of petition filing to determine if sufficient facts support the recall allegations before the process can proceed

Provides that a majority vote in favor of recall immediately creates a vacancy upon vote canvassing, with the recalled trustee serving only until a successor qualifies

Prohibits multiple recall elections for the same trustee during a single term and blocks recall elections if the trustee's term expires within one year of petition certification

Takes effect January 1, 2026, contingent on voter approval of a related constitutional amendment proposed by the 89th Legislature
