There are three ways that you can find out: We often hear from new homeowners who are not sure if their property is subject to a property owners' association. The bylaws will contain information regarding meetings, elections, governance by the Board of Directors, and more. Bylaws: instructions for how the property owners' association is to be run and managed.The Articles of Incorporation will contain basic information about the association, including the initial Board of Directors. Most are incorporated as nonprofit corporations. Articles of Incorporation (also called a Certificate of Formation): paperwork filed with the Secretary of State to formally establish the property owners' association as a legal entity.This document will include limitations on how property is to be used, built, maintained, etc. Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions: a list of rights and responsibilities that the homeowners and the property owners' association owe to each other.
Subdivision Plats: establishes the location of lots, common areas, and easements.This list may help you understand what documents you should look at to find out specific kinds of information. They all serve different functions and purposes. There are many documents that are important to the operation of a property owners' association. If your association has not been incorporated as a nonprofit corporation, many of the laws cited in this guide will not apply. Some property owners' associations are not formally incorporated. For this reason, when asked questions about the functions of an HOA, our librarians often refer people to the Texas law on nonprofit corporations. This means that they are business entities formally created under Texas law and registered with the Secretary of State. Many property owners' associations in Texas are formed as nonprofit corporations.

While most people refer to them as "homeowners' associations" or "HOAs," the term that Texas law uses is "property owners' association." These organizations are defined in Section 202.001 of the Texas Property Code as: "n incorporated or unincorporated association owned by or whose members consist primarily of the owners of the property covered by the dedicatory instrument and through which the owners, or the board of directors or similar governing body, manage or regulate the residential subdivision, planned unit development, condominium or townhouse regime, or similar planned development."
