North Richland Hills, TX HOA Rules: Board Procedures (2026)

Homeowner and property owner association boards operating in North Richland Hills are governed primarily by Texas Property Code Chapter 209 (the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act), the subdivision CCRs, and the association bylaws. Under Chapter 209 meetings of the full board must generally be open to members with reasonable notice, although executive sessions can be used for confidential matters such as personnel, litigation, and delinquent assessments. Board elections must follow the CCRs and statute, with notice sent at least 10 days in advance, written ballots or approved electronic voting where permitted, and a secret ballot option on request in most associations. The board must maintain books and records and provide members access to minutes, contracts, and financial records within a reasonable time on written request. Major actions such as adopting new rules with fines, levying special assessments over certain thresholds, and foreclosing on member property have enhanced notice and process requirements. NRH does not adjudicate HOA disputes; the appropriate venue is state district court in Tarrant County or, for some matters, the Texas Real Estate Commission's ombuds program or the Attorney General consumer protection division.
