HOA board governance in Richardson is governed by Texas Property Code Chapters 82 and 209, which require open board meetings, advance notice, and member access to records. Richardson does not impose additional board procedure rules beyond state law.
Homeowners associations in Richardson operate under the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act (Texas Property Code Chapter 209) and, for condominiums, the Texas Uniform Condominium Act (Chapter 82). Boards must hold open meetings with at least 72 hours' advance notice to members, and closed executive sessions are limited to specified topics such as personnel, litigation, and member hearings. Minutes must be kept and made available to members. Annual meetings and director elections are required, with cumulative voting permitted unless the declaration specifies otherwise. Members have the right to inspect association books and records under Chapter 209.005 within a reasonable time and for a reasonable copying fee. Boards must follow their dedicatory instruments (declaration, bylaws, rules) when adopting or enforcing policies, and new enforcement policies require formal adoption and recording with the county. Richardson does not layer local board procedure rules on top of state law.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Richardson code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
