Document Review
Upload a violation notice, fine notice, letter or other HOA document and see what it says, which Texas Property Code provisions may apply, issues to consider and possible next steps.
For Texas homeowners, condo owners and association board members who need to understand a document before they respond.
Your free account includes 1 Review. No credit card required. Governing-document checks and letter drafting require a subscription.
When you'd use it
- Homeowner: “My architectural request was denied. What should I check before responding?”
- Board member: “Does this fine notice include the hearing information the law requires?”
Violation and fine notices, delinquency and lien notices, records-request responses, meeting minutes, board letters, architectural decisions and other HOA documents.
How it works
-
Upload the document
A PDF, Word (DOCX) or text file, or an image (JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP), up to 15 MB. A clear photo of a paper notice, saved as JPG or PNG, works.
-
It is checked against Texas HOA law
The Review identifies what kind of document it is and checks it against relevant Texas Property Code provisions.
-
See what it says and what to consider
Read a plain-language summary, the statutes that apply, issues to consider and possible next steps.
What you get
- A plain-language summary, written for a homeowner or for the board — switch between the two
- The applicable statutory sections that apply to this kind of document
- Issues to consider, such as notice or hearing requirements the document may not meet
- Questions you may want to ask
- Possible next steps, with response-letter drafting available to subscribers
With a subscription you can draft a response letter from the Review — for example a violation response, a fine response, a delinquency response, an HOA or condominium records request, an architectural appeal.
See where the findings come from
Findings include references to relevant Texas Property Code sections, so you can read the law yourself. With a subscription, if you have uploaded your governing documents, the Review also checks the document against your CC&Rs, bylaws and rules.
Review or ask your documents?
Use Review when you have a notice, letter, minutes or other HOA document you want help understanding.
To find out what your own CC&Rs, bylaws or rules say, ask your HOA documents instead. →
Good to know
- Texas subdivision HOAs and condominium associations have different rules. For a condominium, the declaration’s recording date can affect which provisions apply.
- If only part of a long document was analyzed, the Review displays a coverage notice. Findings apply to the analyzed portion.
- It is a research and reference tool, not legal advice. For advice about your situation, consult a licensed Texas attorney.
