Summary
Spectrum News reports that residents of Houston's Inwood Forest Village subdivision began collecting petition signatures in May to remove their entire HOA board, amid allegations involving missing funds, questionable foreclosures, and governance problems. The story says the dispute has prompted State Rep. Charlene Ward Johnson to say she will propose legislation in the next session aimed at more transparency, limiting attorney's fees that drive foreclosures, and requiring associations to prove owners were properly notified of meetings. The report cites Community Associations Institute figures that about 6.25 million Texans live in roughly 23,000 community associations, and says the Texas Attorney General's office received more than 3,300 HOA-related complaints in the prior year.
Why it matters for Texas boards
Meeting-notice documentation and collection practices are likely topics for the 2027 Texas legislative session. Boards that already keep proof of notice and follow written collection policies will be better positioned for any new rules.
