Texas HOA Law: What Associations Can and Cannot Do

Texas homeowners associations operate under Chapters 202 and 209 of the Texas Property Code. These statutes define what an association can enforce, the limits on its authority, and the procedural protections owners are entitled to. Property Code §202.004 governs the reasonable enforcement of restrictions, while Chapter 209 — the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act — sets rules for fines, hearings, records, and collections.
