Texas Property Code Ch. 209 sets procedures for CC&R enforcement including required notice, hearing, and reasonable fine limits. Dedicatory instruments bind property owners upon purchase.
HOA CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) in Irving are enforceable as dedicatory instruments under Texas Property Code Chapter 202. Chapter 209 sets specific procedures for enforcement: the HOA must provide written notice of violations, allow reasonable time for correction, offer a hearing before the board, and impose fines only after proper procedures. Fines must be reasonable and consistent with the governing documents. The HOA may file suit to enforce restrictions and may recover attorney fees if authorized by the CC&Rs. Property owners are bound by CC&Rs upon purchase, even if they did not receive copies. Amendments to CC&Rs typically require a supermajority vote. Some CC&R provisions may be unenforceable if they conflict with Texas law.
CC&R violations may result in fines, liens, legal action, and attorney fee recovery.
