Garland does not regulate HOA board procedures. HOAs operate under Texas Property Code Chapter 209 and their own governing documents.
The City of Garland has no ordinance governing HOA board meetings, voting, or elections. HOA governance follows Texas Property Code Chapter 209 (the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act), which sets minimum standards for open meetings, member voting rights, and record access. Board composition, terms, and meeting procedures are set by each HOA's bylaws and declaration. Disputes over board procedures are handled through internal HOA processes or civil courts, not city Code Compliance.
City Code Compliance does not enforce HOA board procedure violations. Owners with complaints about board conduct must pursue remedies through the HOA itself or file a civil suit under Chapter 209.
