Full Breakdown

Under Tex. Prop. Code Section 209.006, a property owners' association must send written certified-mail notice before it levies a fine, suspends common-area rights, or sues an owner. The notice must state the date by which the owner must cure the violation and inform the owner they may request a Section 209.007 hearing on or before the 30th day after the notice was mailed. If the owner cures a curable violation that poses no threat to public health or safety within the cure period, no fine may be assessed. These rules bind every mandatory HOA in Corpus Christi and Nueces County.

Violations & Fines

A fine levied without the required certified-mail notice, a cure period, or a hearing requested within 30 days falls outside Section 209.006. If the owner cures a curable violation in time, the association may not assess any fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my Corpus Christi HOA fine me without warning?
No. Section 209.006 requires the association to mail certified notice first, give a cure period for curable violations, and honor a hearing request made within 30 days before it levies a fine.
What if I fix the violation after getting the notice?
If the violation is curable and poses no threat to public health or safety, and you cure it within the stated period, the HOA may not assess a fine under Section 209.006.
