Texas has no right-to-charge statute. Property Code Chapter 202 protects solar panels, rain barrels, and standby generators from HOA bans, but the Legislature has not extended that protection to EV charging stations, so HOA covenants control whether and how owners install chargers.
No Texas statute prevents a homeowners association from restricting or even prohibiting electric vehicle charging equipment. Property Code Chapter 202 protects solar energy devices (202.010), rain barrels (202.007), and standby electric generators (202.019), but EV chargers are not on that list, and right-to-charge bills have not passed the Legislature. In practice most HOAs approve chargers through architectural review, and equipment inside an enclosed private garage rarely draws HOA attention. Installation is still regulated as electrical work: Texas cities adopt the National Electrical Code, so a hardwired Level 2 circuit typically requires a city electrical permit, a licensed electrician, and inspection. Condo owners and renters must also check their declaration or lease.
Installing a charger in violation of recorded covenants can draw HOA enforcement — fines after notice and hearing under Property Code Chapter 209 — and unpermitted electrical work can trigger city code citations.
