Texas Property Code 202.019 prevents HOAs from prohibiting electric vehicle charging stations at a homeowner's dwelling. Owners across Texas may install Level 2 chargers in their garages or driveways subject only to reasonable conditions.
Texas Property Code Section 202.019 voids HOA covenants that prohibit or unreasonably restrict the installation or use of an EV charging device for a homeowner's personal vehicle. The charger must be installed at the owner's expense, comply with applicable safety codes and manufacturer specifications, and be located in the owner's garage, designated parking space, or limited common area. HOAs may require the homeowner to carry liability insurance and to be responsible for damage. Texas also adopts the National Electrical Code through state and local building codes, governing the wiring and inspection of new EVSE installations.
HOAs that enforce void EV-charger bans can be sued; courts may award injunctive relief, actual damages, attorney's fees, and a civil penalty up to $1,000 per violation.
