Statute amended Effective Sep 1, 2025
SB 711 (89th Leg., R.S., 2025) added Tex. Prop. Code §82.157(f), capping the condominium resale-certificate preparation fee at $375 ("a reasonable and necessary fee, not to exceed $375, to furnish a resale certificate under Subsection (a)"). The condominium resale certificate was previously uncapped. The corpus threshold TX_RC_FEE_CAP_CONDO ($375) and the tx_condo_82 profile fee cap were set to reflect this amendment.

Reserve study standards in Texas

Statutory requirements, board preparation checklist, the components a professional study covers, and the useful-life ranges that drive thirty-year funding plans. Generic reference. Not a substitute for a study calibrated to a specific association.

Texas does not currently encode a fixed reserve-study cadence in statute. The discipline still applies. Industry standard across the United States is below.

  • Update the component register annually as assets are added, replaced, or retired.
  • Commission a professional reserve study every three to five years. Update it when the component register changes materially.
  • Maintain a thirty-year capital plan with explicit annual funding contributions tied to the study.
  • Keep reserve funds segregated from operating cash. Disclose funding status in the annual budget.
  • Document the board-approved funding policy — percent-funded, threshold, or baseline — in board minutes.

CommunityPay maintains a Reserve Funding Status Report (RSR) generator tied to the live ledger. It is a status report, not a substitute for a professional study with on-site inspection.

What a board should have organized before commissioning a reserve study, and what a study delivers back. Use this list to evaluate whether the association is ready, regardless of state.

  1. Component register Every asset the association is responsible for maintaining — roofs, asphalt, mechanical systems, plumbing risers, elevators, amenities. Freeze a current version before the study.
  2. Condition assessments Last inspection reports, photographs, observed wear, recent repairs. The analyst calibrates useful-life estimates against this evidence.
  3. Useful-life and replacement-cost estimates Per component, calibrated to local climate, construction, and use intensity. A study produces these; the board verifies them.
  4. Thirty-year capital plan When each component reaches end-of-life and what replacement will cost in nominal dollars at that year.
  5. Funding plan Percent-funded, threshold, or baseline approach with an explicit annual contribution. The board approves; the study models outcomes.
  6. Current reserve fund balance Separated from operating cash. Ideally in interest-bearing accounts with FDIC coverage on the full balance.
  7. Annual budget tied to the funding plan Reserve contribution as an explicit budget line, traceable to the study and the funding policy.
  8. Most recent reserve study Full study, update, or interim review. Author credentials and date of the most recent on-site inspection.
  9. Insurance schedule Replacement-cost coverage on insured components. Deductibles that may draw against reserves in a loss.
  10. Board minutes referencing reserve decisions Special assessments, deferred maintenance, funding-policy changes, scope deviations from the study.

Categories most reserve studies cover. The specific components depend on the association. High-rise condos track far more than single-family HOAs. Gated communities track infrastructure that condos never see.

Roofing & Exterior

Asphalt shingle, metal, tile, or flat membrane roofs. Siding (wood, fiber cement, stucco, vinyl). Exterior paint. Soffits and fascia. Gutters and downspouts. Decks and balconies. Railings. Window and door frames in common areas.

Mechanical

HVAC chillers and cooling towers. Boilers and water heaters. Ventilation. Pumps. Fire suppression and sprinkler systems. Emergency generators. Elevators — cabs, controllers, jacks, and modernizations.

Site Work

Parking lots: seal coat, overlay, full reconstruction. Concrete sidewalks and curbs. Site lighting. Storm drainage. Retaining walls. Fencing. Entry gates and signage.

Plumbing & Electrical

Main water lines and risers. Sanitary and storm sewer lines. Backflow preventers. Common-area electrical panels and switchgear. Transformer pads. Distribution.

Amenities

Pools, spas, and pool equipment. Clubhouse interiors. Fitness rooms. Playgrounds. Tennis and pickleball courts. Mailbox kiosks. Trash enclosures and dumpster pads.

Safety & Code

Fire alarm panels. Emergency lighting. Smoke detectors in common areas. Fire-rated doors. Structural fireproofing. Sprinkler heads and inspection-required components.

A mid-size HOA typically tracks thirty to eighty components. A high-rise condo tracks two hundred or more. The categories above are illustrative. A professional reserve study identifies the components a specific association is responsible for.

Typical useful-life ranges for components common in reserve studies. Industry averages, not specific to any state, climate, or association. A professional study calibrates these to local conditions, construction quality, maintenance practice, and use intensity.

Meeting requirements in Texas

Statutory floors for owner and board meetings — notice periods, delivery rules, quorum, voting, written consent, and record retention. Generic reference. Specific bylaws or declarations may impose tighter requirements; statutes set the minimum.

Texas statute does not currently encode specific board or owner meeting notice periods in the corpus. The discipline still applies. Industry standard is below.

  • Provide at least 10 days advance notice for board meetings.
  • Provide 14–30 days advance notice for annual or special owner meetings.
  • Hold at least one annual meeting of the membership each year.
  • Keep all board meetings open to owners in good standing; reserve executive session for narrow purposes.
  • Define a quorum threshold in the bylaws and apply it consistently.

CommunityPay maintains a Board Meeting Packet generator that produces a state-aware agenda, draft minutes template, and compliance checklist for the board pack.

How meeting notice must be delivered, what it must contain, and what defects invalidate the notice. Statutes vary in mechanics; the principles are consistent.

  1. Delivery method First-class mail or hand-delivery to the address on file with the association is the universal default. Most states permit electronic delivery only with the owner's written consent. A posted notice on a community bulletin board is not, by itself, sufficient.
  2. Address on file The association is entitled to rely on the address each owner has provided. The owner bears the burden of keeping it current. The board must maintain a registered address list.
  3. Required content Date, time, location (or remote-access link), and an agenda. Material to be voted on — budget, special assessments, rule changes — must be identified specifically. "Other business" is not a substitute for an item.
  4. Notice period start The notice period typically runs from the date of mailing or hand-delivery, not the date of receipt. Some states count both the notice date and the meeting date; others exclude one or both. Confirm the rule.
  5. Remote participation When the association offers remote attendance, the notice must include the access information and any limitations (e.g., audio-only, no chat). Recording rules vary by state.
  6. Defective notice consequences Material defects invalidate actions taken at the meeting. Minor defects (typo in location, slightly late mailing) may be cured by attendance and waiver. Document the cure in the minutes.
  7. Emergency notice Statutes typically permit shortened notice for genuine emergencies (imminent physical harm, immediate financial loss). The board must document the emergency basis in the minutes.

Full notice requirements appear in Tex. Prop. Code §82.157 and the specific subsections cited in the Requirements tab.

Quorum sets the floor for a valid meeting. Voting mechanics — proxies, ballots, written consent — determine how votes are counted once the quorum is established.

Quorum

Statute sets the default at 10% of allocated interests unless the governing documents specify a different threshold.

Proxies

Most states permit proxies for owner meetings. The proxy must be written, dated, and signed; many states require revocation rights and an explicit scope (general or limited). Proxies do not extend to board meetings — directors must vote in person or by permitted remote means.

Written consent

Action without a meeting requires unanimous written consent in most jurisdictions, though some states permit a lower threshold for narrow categories (uncontested matters, ratification). Document the consent in the corporate records, indexed to the action taken.

Ballots

Secret-ballot procedures, double-envelope requirements, and inspector-of-elections rules apply in states with comprehensive election statutes. Director elections, recall votes, and assessment increases above a statutory threshold typically require secret-ballot procedure.

Cumulative voting

Available only when explicitly authorized by the declaration or bylaws. Otherwise straight voting applies — each membership casts one vote per open seat per candidate, with no concentration permitted.

Member in good standing

Voting rights may be suspended for delinquent accounts in some jurisdictions. Suspension typically requires due-process notice and an opportunity to cure. Statutes vary; the bylaws must align.

Voting and quorum procedures are codified in Tex. Prop. Code §82.157 and applicable subsections. Specific procedures may be modified in the declaration and bylaws within statutory limits.

Minutes are the corporate record of the meeting. Statutes in every state require associations to maintain meeting minutes and make them available to owners on request. Retention periods and access rules vary.

  1. What minutes must contain Date, time, location. Directors and officers present. Quorum determination. Motions made, seconded, and the vote count. Substantive board actions and adopted resolutions. Executive-session minutes kept separately; the open-session minutes record only that a closed session occurred.
  2. Retention period Statutes vary; common floors are seven years for financial records and the life of the association for governance records. Permanent retention is the safer practice. Reserve studies, declarations, amendments, and assessments — permanent.
  3. Owner inspection rights Owners have a statutory right to inspect minutes and association records on written request. The association may charge reasonable copy fees and require inspection during normal business hours at a designated location.
  4. Approval process Draft minutes are circulated to the board, corrected, and approved at the next regular meeting. Approved minutes become the official record. Corrections after approval require a noted amendment, not silent edits.
  5. Permanent records Declaration, bylaws, articles of incorporation, rule books, amendments, and the minute book are permanent records. The association cannot dispose of them on any retention schedule.
  6. Resale disclosure Recent board and owner meeting minutes are typically required attachments to a resale certificate. The standard window is the last 12 months; some statutes extend to 24 months for amendments.
  7. Executive session Closed-session minutes record matters discussed but typically remain confidential from the general membership. Specific votes taken in closed session may need to be reported in the open-session minutes.

Records retention and inspection rights are codified in Tex. Prop. Code §82.157 and related subsections. A records-request response that misses the statutory deadline may expose the association to a per-day penalty.

Insurance & risk requirements in Texas

Statutory floors plus the Fannie Mae 1076 and Freddie Mac 476 condo questionnaire fields lenders verify before closing. Generic reference. Specific declarations or bylaws may impose tighter requirements; statutes set the minimum.

Fannie Mae lender requirement
Hazard / property coverage
100% of replacement cost value, project improvements + common elements + residential structures
Fannie Mae B7-3-03
Comprehensive general liability
$1000000 minimum per single occurrence, bodily injury and property damage on common elements
Fannie Mae B7-4-01
  • Replacement cost basis — policy must pay to rebuild without depreciation deduction.
  • Agreed-amount endorsement — waives the coinsurance penalty when coverage is set to a stated replacement cost.
  • Inflation guard endorsement — annual escalation to keep coverage at current rebuild cost.
  • Building ordinance or law endorsement — covers the cost gap when current building codes require upgrades during a rebuild.

Statutory citation: Tex. Prop. Code §82.157.

Fannie Mae lender requirement
Fidelity / crime bond minimum
3 months of aggregate assessments on all units
Fannie Mae B7-4-02

The fidelity / crime policy protects association funds from dishonest or fraudulent acts by anyone handling or responsible for those funds — directors, officers, employees, and the management agent. The HOA or co-op corporation must be the named insured, with premiums paid as a common expense.

  • Named covered parties — board, officers, employees, and the management company (when one is engaged).
  • Computation basis — months of assessments plus reserve balance, or a percentage of the operating budget, depending on the governing statute.
  • Annual renewal — coverage lapses are a common audit finding and trigger lender disqualification.

Statutory citation: Tex. Prop. Code §82.157.

Fannie Mae lender requirement
Deductible cap
5% maximum of master policy coverage amount, aggregated across per-peril deductibles
Fannie Mae B7-3-03

Higher deductibles disqualify the project from conforming mortgage originations on every unit. State statutes sometimes codify a tighter cap or require board approval before deductible changes.

Flood insurance is required when any portion of the project sits inside a FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Coverage must equal the lesser of the building replacement cost or the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maximum, with the balance covered by an excess flood policy.

Statutory citation: Tex. Prop. Code §82.157.

Beyond the master property policy, lenders require several distinct coverages and endorsements. Each addresses a specific risk category the master policy alone does not handle.

  • Directors & officers (D&O) liability — defends board members against claims arising from governance decisions. Often required by lenders even when not codified by statute.
  • Umbrella / excess liability — extends primary liability limits, typically by $1M to $5M, to cover catastrophic claims.
  • Workers’ compensation — required when the association directly employs maintenance or management staff.
  • Earthquake / windstorm — peril-specific policies in seismic and coastal zones. Lender requirement depends on territory.
  • Environmental / pollution — applies when the association operates pools, fuel storage, or other regulated facilities.
