Lubbock HOAs operate under TX Property Code Chapter 209. Boards must hold open meetings with 72 hours notice, allow member attendance, and maintain accessible records.
Texas Property Code Chapter 209 governs most residential subdivision HOAs statewide, including those in Lubbock. Section 209.0051 requires board meetings to be open to association members except for executive session items such as personnel matters, pending litigation, contract negotiations, enforcement actions involving specific owners, and matters involving privacy. Members must receive notice of meetings at least 72 hours in advance by mail, email where consented, or posting. Board elections must comply with Section 209.00593 which mandates ballots be mailed to owners in advance, with results counted at an open meeting. Nonprofit corporation law (TX BOC Chapter 22) provides default rules for quorum, officers, indemnification, and fiduciary duties. HOAs must maintain books and records accessible to owners per Section 209.005. Condominium associations follow the Texas Uniform Condominium Act (Property Code Chapter 82) with parallel but distinct procedural rules.
HOA violations of 209 procedures: owners may sue for declaratory or injunctive relief plus attorney fees under Section 209.008. Bad-faith conduct can trigger fee shifting.
