OPEN MEETINGS
Agencies with statewide jurisdiction must give at least seven days notice before 
an impending meeting. Institutions of higher education or political subdivisions 
covering all or part of four or more counties (regional agencies) must post 
notice at least 72 hours before a scheduled meeting time. Some notices may be 
received too late to be published before the meeting is held, but all notices 
are published in the Texas Register.
Emergency meetings and agendas. Any of the governmental entities listed above 
must have notice of an emergency meeting, an emergency revision to an agenda, 
and the reason for such emergency posted for at least two hours before the 
meeting is convened. All emergency meeting notices filed by governmental 
agencies will be published.
Posting of open meeting notices. All notices are posted on the bulletin board at 
the main office of the Secretary of State in lobby of the James Earl Rudder 
Building, 1019 Brazos, Austin. These notices may contain a more detailed agenda 
than what is published in the Texas Register.
Meeting Accessibility. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, an individual 
with a disability must have an equal opportunity for effective communication and 
participation in public meetings. Upon request, agencies must provide auxiliary 
aids and services, such as interpreters for the deaf and hearing impaired, 
readers, large print or braille documents. In determining type of auxiliary aid 
or service, agencies must give primary consideration to the individual's 
request. Those requesting auxiliary aids or services should notify the contact
