The Honorable Eddie Lucio, Jr. - Page 4 (KP-0026) would allow a zone board member to serve an unlimited number of terms. A charter's limit on terms a person may serve, here after six years, would have the effect of ending a person's statutory eligibility to continue indefinitely serving as a board member. See generally City of Canyon v. Fehr, 121 S.W.3d 899, 904 (Tex. App.-Amarillo 2003, no pet.) (recognizing the fact that "charter provisions and ordinances are subject to the general laws of this state also means that this state's general laws may permit what a charter prohibits"). This irreconcilable inconsistency between such a charter term-limit provision and subsection 311.009(c) would likely render the charter provision void to the same extent as the residency requirement.
