Why It’s Flagged
Tex. Prop. Code § 209.006, § 209.0061 & § 209.007
§ 209.006 & § 209.007: Prohibits the association from levy a fine or suspend an owner's right to use a common area unless it first gives written notice by certified mail describing the violation, providing a reasonable period to cure (if curable and not a repeat violation within 6 months), and stating that the owner may request a hearing before the Board on or before the 30th day after the notice was mailed.
§ 209.0061 (HB 614): The association must maintain and provide a recorded enforcement policy specifying general categories of restrictive covenants and a schedule of fines for each category.

For Board & Counsel Review

2The notice must describe the violation, include a copy of or link to the Association's recorded enforcement and fine schedule policy required by Tex. Prop. Code § 209.0061 (HB 614), specify a reasonable cure period (for curable violations), and inform the Owner that they have 30 days from the date notice is mailed to submit a written request for a hearing before the Board pursuant to Tex.
