Since there is no expectation of privacy in the open portion of the HOA meeting, and since Texas is a one-party consent state for recording even private conversations, it is not unlawful for a person attending a board meeting to record the meeting.
California: Our manager prepares an agenda that includes routine items like violation hearings and bids, but it is up to the board president to approve it and add any items they want from themselves and other directors. The manager then prepares the agenda, distributes it and posts it.
House Bill 614 HOAs must now define the specific types of violations that can trigger fines. This means you'll know exactly what behavior could result in financial consequences.
Texas law does not automatically give a property owners' association the right to enter a private property to fix a violation of the rules. The power to exercise "self-help remedies" must be granted by the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions.

Conducting an HOA Meeting Start the meeting on time. Begin with a roll call to ensure all Board members are present. Discuss the items on the agenda in the order they are listed. Encourage all members to participate in the discussion. Stay on topic and avoid discussing items that are not on the agenda.

Articles of incorporation or bylaws often limit the maximum amount that can be charged without approval by the general vote.
