Texas community association law
Assessments, liens & foreclosure
Tex. Prop. Code §§ 82.112-82.113, 209.0091-209.0092
What the law requires
A condominium association's assessments are secured by a lien on the unit under Chapter 82. For residential property owners associations, Chapter 209 layers on notice and cure obligations before a collection action, and requires a court order before the association may foreclose an assessment lien.
