Board members are generally responsible for: Providing a clear vision for the community image and culture. Protecting and preserving the association's assets. Minimizing the financial risks to the association. Maintaining the community's property values. Enhancing the living experience for all residents.

HOA board members in Texas can be sued personally if they engage in negligent, willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud, criminal activity or actions beyond their board authority.
The new law will require that homeowners association policies must include general categories of restrictive covenants for which the association may assess fines, a schedule of fines for each category of violation, and information on hearings.
With the exception of some confidential topics, regular and special board meetings of property owners' associations must be open to all members.
Removing a Board Member If there are no instructions, the Texas Business Organizations Code states that a director may be removed by the "persons entitled to elect, designate, or appoint the director." If there was an election to appoint the director, a vote must also be taken to remove them.

This will give them time to consider the topic and come up with the right questions.
Contact the Texas Attorney General's Office: If you believe the HOA has violated state laws or regulations, you can contact the Texas Attorney General's Office to file a complaint. The Attorney General's Office may investigate the matter and take appropriate action if necessary.
