Irene "Beanie" Adolph
Beanie Adolph is a member of the www.HOAdata.org team. In 1999 she became interested in the HOA problem in response to a proposal to transform her decades-old civic association from a voluntary dues association to an HOA.
Beanie soon discovered that the Texas Legislature had recently empowered HOAs in Harris County (but not elsewhere in Texas) to assess mandatory dues and fines, and that many Harris County HOAs were abusing their powers, especially by filing for foreclosure of homes over trivial fees. Since the HOAs claimed that foreclosure cases were rare, she realized that documentation was needed to determine the truth. With her family's support, the missing evidence was gathered from Harris County Court records and in January 2002, the www.HOAdata.org gathered website was announced at a Senate hearing in Houston.
