NOTE - Each league also maintains a set of bylaws by which they operate.  These can normally be found on the individual league web site.

All League Bylaws should address the topics shown in this file.

A FAQ from the Texas Secretary of State is found here.  From this site, Leagues can also submit forms to Incorporate.  The entire Texas regulation governing the formation of non-profit corporations is found here.  One of the major reasons to incorporate a local league is to insulate board members from liability.  The statute says:

Art. 1396-2.22. Officer Liability (a) An officer is not liable to the corporation or any other person for an action taken or omission made by the officer in the person's capacity as an officer unless the officer's conduct was not exercised: (1) in good faith; (2) with ordinary care; and (3) in a manner the officer reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the corporation. (b) This article shall not affect the liability of the corporation for an act or omission of the officer.

The current By Laws were revised in November 2007 and are found here.
