HOA software for Texas self-managed HOAs

SpotHOA is made in Dallas, Texas, and Texas is the first state with a full guide. The Texas HOA guide is a plain-English walkthrough of Texas Property Code Chapter 209, the 2025 legislative changes, resale certificates, foreclosure and architectural review. The Texas HOA laws reference page lists the governing statutes (Tex. Prop. Code §§ 202.001 to 209.017) and the Texas Uniform Condominium Act, and SpotHOA monitors Texas HOA-related statutes monthly.

Pro adds the Texas compliance pack. Everything else on this page is on the free plan.

Texas has no centralized state agency policing HOAs, so the statute is what boards and homeowners lean on. Much of Chapter 209 turns on whether the board can show what it did and when. A few of the sections the guide covers:

• Section 209.006: before an HOA can fine a homeowner or take most enforcement actions, a written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested.
• Section 209.007: a homeowner may request a hearing before the board.
• Section 209.005: books and records must be reasonably available to members.
• Section 209.0063: a partial payment is applied in a set order, with fines last.
• Section 209.0051: board business happens in meetings with advance notice to members.
• Section 209.0062: associations with more than 14 lots adopt written guidelines for alternative payment schedules.

The guide has the detail, the deadlines and the 2025 changes. Read it there rather than from this summary.

SpotHOA does not make a board compliant. It keeps the record a Texas board is asked to produce in one place the whole board can see:

• Violations and architectural (ARC) requests, each with its full history, tied to the unit.
• Dues, payments, late fees and payment plans on a permanent, append-only ledger. A correction is a new entry, never an edit.
• Meetings with agendas, minutes, motions and voting.
• A document vault for CC&Rs, bylaws, minutes and financials, with public, members and board visibility.

When a homeowner asks for records, or a dispute reaches a hearing, the board starts from a timestamped history instead of a departed volunteer’s inbox.

Homeowners pay by card or ACH into your HOA’s own Stripe account. SpotHOA never holds the money. The treasurer records checks and cash on the same ledger, and dues reminders go out on a schedule. The dues tracking page has the full list.

This page and the Texas guide are general information, not legal advice. Texas HOA law is fact-specific and changes with each legislative session. For disputes involving dollar amounts, foreclosure risk or material property rights, consult a Texas attorney who focuses on property owners’ associations.
