HB 4265 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the violation of certain laws and provisions of governing instruments by, and the recall by property owners of, a property owners' association board member.

HB 4265 amends Texas Property Code to establish clearer procedures for removing property owners' association (POA) board members and addressing their misconduct. It allows owners holding at least 20% of voting interests to petition for a recall election, requiring the POA to hold the vote within 90 days; if a majority votes to remove a board member, their position becomes vacant immediately. Additionally, owners can sue the POA in justice court for board members violating Property Code or governing documents, seeking remedies like removal of the member, monetary damages, or deducting awards from future assessments. The bill mandates 10 business days' written notice to the POA before filing such lawsuits. This directly affects POAs, board members, and property owners seeking accountability.
