Open Board Meetings and Raising HOA Dues in Texas

The HOA board must provide notice at least 10 days (but no more than 60 days) prior to a board meeting. The board may also post the notice of the meeting in a common area of the property or on the website and emailing the owners at least 144 hours prior to the board meeting (72 hours prior to a special board meeting).

As per the Texas Property Code, all regular and special board meetings must be open to all members. There are certain actions the board cannot take outside of an open meeting, including increases in assessments or dues. However, the Texas Property Code is silent on whether or not homeowners must be given the opportunity to comment during the meeting. Check your governing documents to see if they provide such a requirement.
