How it works
-
Ask about HOA law
Ask a question in plain English and get an answer grounded in the Texas Property Code, with citations to the sections it relies on. Property owners’ associations (Chapter 209, with Chapter 202 on restrictive covenants) and condominiums (Chapter 82) are separate regimes, and answers apply the one that governs your community.
Homeowner: “Can my HOA fine me without notice and a chance to cure?”
Older condominiums: a condominium whose declaration was recorded before January 1, 1994 and that has not adopted Chapter 82 is governed by Property Code Chapter 81, together with the Chapter 82 provisions listed in §82.002(c). Both are covered, so it helps to say when your declaration was recorded.

Ask your HOA documents
Upload your deed restrictions, bylaws, rules and other governing documents, then ask what your association's own documents say. Answers come from your documents, citing the section and page.
Board member: “Do our governing documents give the board authority to adopt this rule?”

Review something your HOA sent you
Upload a violation notice, fine notice, records-request response, meeting minutes or another HOA document. The Review explains what it says, points to the statutes that apply, flags issues to consider, and suggests possible next steps.
Homeowner: “My architectural request was denied. What should I look at before responding?”

Check the sources
Answers show where they came from — the statute section or the page of your document — so you can read the source yourself rather than take an answer on trust.
