Every two years, eight of TRA’s directors are up for reappointment or replacement in accordance with the wishes of the governor in office at that time. The Authority’s statute specifies that three of the Board members must be appointed from within Tarrant County, four from Dallas County, one each from the remaining 15 counties within the political subdivision, and the remaining two are selected to serve at-large from anywhere within the political subdivision.
