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. Mediation via a certified mediator is encouraged.
