Showing ordinances that apply to Rendon, TX
Rendon is an unincorporated community (population 13,533) in Tarrant County, Texas. Because Rendon is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Tarrant County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The dispute resolution rules below are the ones that govern your area.
HOA disputes in Tarrant County follow TX Property Code 209.006 notice and cure, 209.007 hearing rights, and HB 614 (2023) fine procedures. Owners may mediate, sue in district court, or complain to the Texas AG.
Before an HOA in Tarrant County can fine, sue, or suspend an owner's rights under Texas Property Code 209.006, it must deliver written notice by certified mail describing the alleged violation, the action required to cure, a reasonable period to cure (at least 30 days for most violations), and a statement that the owner may request a hearing under 209.007. HB 614 (2023) further refined these procedures, particularly around fines: fines may not be imposed without a specific amount schedule in recorded rules, and a separate notice is required before each fine. Under 209.007, owners have the right to a board hearing within a reasonable time, to present evidence, and to be accompanied by an attorney or representative. After administrative remedies, disputes commonly proceed to alternative dispute resolution (mediation is sometimes required by the declaration), then to Tarrant County District Court or the appropriate Justice of the Peace court for smaller claims. The Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division investigates certain HOA violations involving fraud or deceptive practices. Condominium disputes follow parallel procedures under TX Property Code Chapter 82. Tarrant County does not maintain an HOA ombudsman; most disputes are resolved in private civil litigation or mediation.
HOAs that skip 209.006 notice and cure, 209.007 hearing rights, or HB 614 fine procedures may have enforcement actions dismissed and be ordered to pay attorneys fees to the prevailing owner. Owners who ignore valid notices face escalating fines, suspension of common-area privileges, and eventual legal action. Frivolous HOA disputes can result in sanctions under Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 13.
