Texas HOA Law — Key Facts
Governed by Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act (Texas Property Code Chapter 209)
Fine Notice Requirement
30 days
HOA must give you 30 days' written notice before imposing any fine.
HOA Response Deadline
10 days
By law, your HOA must respond to written requests within 10 business days.
Small Claims Limit
$20,000
Texas Justice Court (Small Claims, up to $20,000) — no attorney required
Texas Fine Cap
Texas does not set a statutory dollar cap on HOA fines, but fines must be reasonable and based on a published fine schedule (§209.0061)
Common Disputes
What Can You Dispute?
Fine Dispute
Your HOA issued a fine without the required 30-day notice or hearing. Cite Texas Property to demand immediate cancellation.
Rule Violation
HOA claims you violated a rule — but won't provide the exact CC&R language or is enforcing it selectively. Cite Texas Property Code §209.007 to challenge inconsistent enforcement.
HOA Ignoring You
Texas law generally requires your HOA to respond within 10 business days. If they've gone silent, a formal written follow-up letter helps you document your record before taking next steps.
Maintenance Failure
Your HOA is ignoring a repair to common areas they're legally required to maintain. Force action — and document damages — before escalating to Texas Office of the Attorney General.
Next Steps

Regulatory Body

Sending a certified-mail letter is generally a useful first step before filing a regulatory complaint or small claims action. This is informational only — confirm the procedure for your situation.
