Understanding Texas HOA Laws The homeowners association's management of affairs is governed by a board of directors elected by the homeowners. The board is responsible for enforcing the community's restrictive covenants, managing the community's finances, and making decisions on behalf of the community.

Typically, an HOA is run by a governing board, elected by the HOA members. While commonly referred to as “HOAs”, Texas law uses the term “property owners' associations.”

The association's governing documents will often provide a way to submit a complaint directly to the association.
