Texas community association law
Fines, enforcement & architectural review
Tex. Prop. Code §§ 209.006, 209.0061, 209.00505
What the law requires
Before most enforcement actions a POA must send written notice giving the owner an opportunity to cure and, in many cases, to request a hearing. The association's fine policy must be adopted and made available, and Chapter 209 constrains how an architectural review authority is composed and how it decides.
What it means for boards & managers
Notice, opportunity to cure, hearing on request. Run every fine through that sequence and keep the dated record of each step; an undocumented fine is difficult to defend and easy to reverse.
