Protect our Homestead!

Our Motto:

HOA Abuse Must STOP!

Legislative Priorities

End HOA Foreclosures

Assure homeowners in HOAs the right to vote, to run for office, and fair elections.

Establish a Priority of Payment schedule so that all payments by homeowners are applied first to past due assessments, second to current assessments, lastly to just claims as the homeowner directs so that due process is employed.

Amend the Texas Open Meetings and Open Records Acts so that HOAs are subject to these acts by removing applicability criteria three (3).
