		River authorities have been held to be state boards or agencies under article XVI, section 30a, of the Texas Constitution which provides that members of certain boards may hold office for terms of six years.
		The opinion concluded that the river authority was a 'local governmental district' under the constitutional provision, and that a state employee was thus not barred from serving at the same time as director of the authority.
		The statute's separate reference to chairman of the governing boards of river authorities indicates that such persons were not considered by the legislature which enacted the provision to be included in the categories of heads of departments of state government or heads of state boards.
