Texas Property Code 209.007 requires HOAs to offer an alternative dispute resolution process before pursuing enforcement litigation. Homeowners can request a hearing before the board.
Upon receipt of violation notice, owner can request hearing before board within 30 days; HOA must schedule hearing within reasonable time. If ADR fails, either party can pursue mediation or arbitration per CC&Rs or small claims/JP court for under 20,000 dollars. Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act specifically limits fines and requires due process steps including prior written notice and opportunity to cure.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
