Showing ordinances that apply to Garfield, TX
Garfield is an unincorporated community (population 1,825) in Travis County, Texas. Because Garfield is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Travis County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The dispute resolution rules below are the ones that govern your area.
TX Property Code 209.007 requires HOAs to provide owners notice and opportunity for a hearing before assessing fines or suspending privileges. Owners may request ADR through the Texas Real Estate Commission or file in Travis County Justice/District Court.
Before an HOA imposes fines, suspends rights, charges damages, or files suit, owners must receive certified-mail notice describing the violation, cure period (minimum 30 days), and right to request a hearing before the board within 30 days. 209.007(d) allows the owner to appeal to the board within 30 days of the ARC or management decision. Small-claims disputes under $20,000 may be filed in Travis County Justice Court (Precinct 1-5). Larger claims go to 250th, 345th, or other Travis County District Courts.
