40 Tex. Admin. Code § 1.308 - Dissolution and Merger of Community Centers

(a) Dissolution. If a community center proposes to cease operations and dissolve, the center's board of trustees and each local agency must inform DADS and DSHS in writing of such a decision before dissolution. DADS, DSHS, the board of trustees, and each local agency shall agree to a plan of dissolution that addresses at least the following factors:

(1) the center's assets and liabilities (including personnel);

(2) necessary audits to be conducted;

(3) closure activities, including arrangements for uninterrupted delivery of services;

(4) the transfer, archival, and security of records and information; and

(5) future plans for the region's service delivery system (for example, affiliation with an existing center or establishment of a new center).

(b) Merger. If two or more existing community centers agree to merge into a new community center, then before merging the boards of trustees of the involved centers submit to DADS and DSHS an initial plan in accordance with § 1.305(c) of this subchapter (relating to Process to Establish a New Community Center). The initial plan must represent the services to be provided in the combined expanded region and include a copy of the new contract of interlocal agreement and official documentation (for example, a resolution) confirming an intent to merge from each local agency involved.
