Answer:
In Texas, a corporation must have a Board of Directors, which is responsible for managing the corporation. While you can serve as the sole director, you can also appoint someone else as the President or CEO. Officers do not need to be shareholders or board members, although this is common in small corporations.
To appoint a new President or CEO, follow the procedures outlined in your corporation's bylaws. This typically involves a formal vote or resolution by the Board of Directors. If you are the only director, you can simply document your decision in writing.
After appointing the new President or CEO, ensure you update any necessary records and inform relevant parties about the change. For further guidance, consider consulting with a legal professional.
