Question:
In matters relating to past due dues and regular dues, are we required to have a hearing, if requested by the homeowner? Also, can a hearing for any reason be conducted by email correspondence? Would that satisfy us having a hearing?

Answer:
In Texas, hearings are required by law for violations that result in fines and for decisions made by the architectural review committee. However, when it comes to regular dues or assessments, Texas law does not require HOAs to conduct a hearing. That being said, make sure to check your governing documents to see if your association has specific requirements concerning that. Additionally, as per Texas law, HOAs with 15 lots or more must allow homeowners to settle their outstanding dues in installments according to a payment plan with a minimum duration of 3 months.
