Fort Worth, TX HOA Rules: CC&R Enforcement (2026)

Texas Property Code Section 209.006 governs CC&R enforcement for all Fort Worth HOAs. Before an association may suspend an owner's right to use common areas, file suit (other than to collect assessments or foreclose), charge for property damage, levy a fine, or report a delinquency to a credit agency, it must give written notice by certified mail. The notice must describe the violation or property damage, state any amount due, inform the owner of the right to cure (if the violation is curable) and avoid fines or suspension, state the owner's right to request a hearing under Sec. 209.007 within 30 days, reference any special rights under federal law including the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, and provide the cure deadline. Curable violations are those that are ongoing and capable of remedy by affirmative action, such as maintenance issues, parking violations, or failure to build per approved plans. Uncurable violations are one-time events that cannot be remedied. The association may not levy a fine or take enforcement action until the notice period and hearing opportunity have elapsed or been completed.
