While most people refer to them as “homeowners’ associations” or “HOAs,” the term that Texas law uses is “property owners’ association.” These organizations are defined in Section 202.001 of the Texas Property Code as:
“[A]n incorporated or unincorporated association owned by or whose members consist primarily of the owners of the property covered by the dedicatory instrument and through which the owners, or the board of directors or similar governing body, manage or regulate the residential subdivision, planned unit development, condominium or townhouse regime, or similar planned development.”

The Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act is the state law that covers various issues such as board governance, elections and voting, record-keeping and an owner’s right to access records, protections regarding third-party collections, required notices, foreclosures for assessment liens, and regulations on leases.
