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.
