Sec. 209.0063. PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS. (a) ... a payment received by a property owners' association from the owner shall be applied to the owner's debt in the following order of priority: (1) any delinquent assessment; (2) any current assessment; (3) any reasonable attorney's fees or reasonable third party collection costs incurred by the association associated solely with assessments or any other charge that could provide the basis for foreclosure; (4) any reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the association that are not subject to Subdivision (3); (5) any reasonable fines assessed by the association; and (6) any other reasonable amount owed to the association.
Full Breakdown
HOA assessments, late fees, and collection are controlled by the HOA's declaration and Texas Property Code Chapter 209.

The City of Garland has no role in collecting or enforcing HOA dues. Owners facing assessment disputes should review their HOA documents and consult an attorney.
