	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 130.088, Education Code, is amended by 
adding Subsection (j-1) to read as follows:
	(j-1)  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of Subchapter 
D, the annexation of territory by the district does not affect the 
term of office of a member of the governing board of the district 
who is serving on the date the annexation takes effect, regardless 
of the provision of Subchapter D providing authority for the 
annexation and regardless of whether the annexation alters any 
boundary of the trustee district from which the member is elected.  
For purposes of this subsection, "annexation" includes any method 
by which new territory is added to a junior college district.
	SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect immediately if it receives 
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as 
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution.  If this 
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this 
Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
