Community and Homeowners’ Association Law

Rockwall Community and Homeowners’ Association Lawyers Provide Detailed Advice

Northeast Texas attorneys represent HOA & POA boards

Property owners’ associations have existed in Texas for more than a century. When run well, these organizations help to maintain the quality of life for individuals and families who reside in a given area. However, homeowners’ and property owner associations (POA or HOAs) and similar groups can give rise to serious conflicts that may require legal intervention. Located in Rockwall, Grob & Associates Law Firm PC assists boards with concerns that arise from HOA and community association rules. Our firm is well versed in the pertinent Texas laws and uses that knowledge to draft and interpret agreement language relating to dues, common areas and other situations.

Relevant HOA covenants, conditions and restrictions

The covenants, conditions and restrictions imposed by a homeowners’ or community association can trigger serious conflicts. If you’re looking to draft, revise, challenge or enforce these rules, we’ll help you address issues such as:

• Common area usage — HOAs and community associations are responsible for the upkeep of common areas, such as playgrounds, pools, and community centers. When concerns arise over maintenance, funding or misuse by residents, we analyze the applicable agreement language and advise on the best way to proceed. 
• Appearance and condition — Restrictions on home appearance and condition can become quite intricate and technical. Board members rely on our firm when disputes exist over house color, lawn maintenance and other issues that might seem small but often grow into major headaches. 
• Dues issues — Our firm represents boards in dues collection issues.

Having practiced HOA and landlord-tenant law, we know how protective and emotional people can be when dealing with situations pertaining to the enjoyment of their homes. By providing honest, effective counsel, we work to head off major problems involving the covenants, conditions and restrictions associated with planned communities. 

Legal counselors aid with enforcement of agreement provisions

Typically, HOAs and community boards with enforcement authority prefer to handle rule violations informally. Our firm delivers knowledgeable guidance on cost-effective ways to remedy problems relating to unpaid dues and other transgressions. However, sometimes stronger action is warranted, and associations do have the ability to seek relief in court to recover unpaid dues and levy fines. When issues remain unresolved, we outline the benefits and drawbacks of each option and represent HOAs and community boards as they pursue a favorable result.
