If a vacancy occurs on the Broker-Lawyer Committee, who appoints a new member?

The appointment of a new member to the Broker-Lawyer Committee in the event of a vacancy is made by the entity that originally appointed that member. This process ensures continuity and alignment with the original intent behind the selection, maintaining the expertise and perspective that the committee is expected to bring to its operations. Each appointing entity has an understanding of the requirements and objectives for their appointed member, allowing for a more seamless transition when filling vacancies.

The Texas Real Estate Commission, the Governor's office, and the Department of Public Safety do not typically play roles in this specific appointment process, which is why their involvement is not applicable in this context. The focus on the original appointing entity underscores the importance of delegation of authority and responsibility within the established framework of the committee.
