FAQ
House Bill 614 guarantees your right to a hearing before the HOA board to contest the violation or the proposed fine. This ensures a fair and transparent process where you can voice your concerns and advocate for your interests.
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.
Disclosure Requirements Disclosure is mandated by law, often through public records and real property records. Before purchasing a home, buyers must receive a set of documents detailing the HOA's health, such as its covenants, conditions, restrictions, bylaws, rules, and financial statements.
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.”
There must be at least three people on the Board of Directors. If an association's governing documents do not state how many people must serve on the Board of Directors, Texas law says that the number will be equal to the initial number of directors listed in the Articles of Incorporation.
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.
Texas law places limits on HOA power, including restrictions on their ability to prohibit certain types of construction like solar panels and rules against unreasonable fines or foreclosure practices. The exact limitations are outlined in state statutes, which are intended to protect homeowners' rights.
Depending on the organizational form of the entity, however, the home or property owners' association may not be required to register with the secretary of state.
The board of directors is the cornerstone of any association, as the guiding force responsible for ensuring smooth operations. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding stakeholders' interests and overseeing the effective functioning of every organ within the association.
There is no Texas state agency that oversees property owners' associations. Talking to the board or checking the association's rules can sometimes resolve misunderstandings and disagreements. The association's governing documents will often provide a way to submit a complaint directly to the association.
