Support HOA Reform NOW!
Senate Bill 1588
|
|
Support HOA reform NOW!
Right now, Texas lawmakers are considering a wide range of bipartisan HOA reforms, like Senate Bill 1588 (authored by Sen. Bryan Hughes and sponsored by Rep. Chris Turner).
This REALTOR®-supported legislation would ensure HOA operations are transparent, resident-friendly, and provide an appropriate balance between private-property rights and agreed-upon community standards.
The bill is expected to be heard by the House next week, so lawmakers need to hear from you now!
Here are three ways you can help support this legislation with your voice …
-
Tell your HOA story. Visit myhoastory.com to join hundreds of REALTORS® and homeowners who have shared their experiences with HOAs in Texas. Record or upload a video, record audio, or write remarks—and encourage your clients to share their stories—to help hold HOAs in Texas more accountable.
-
Sign the petition. Join the thousands of REALTORS® who have signed to show their support of the HOA reforms in Senate Bill 1588. Click here to sign.
-
Respond to the REALTOR® call for action*. Texas REALTORS® has launched a call for action via email and text message. This will provide you with a simple way to tell legislators that you support HOA reform ... just look for the email or text message from Texas REALTORS®.
*Note: If you receive a message that you’re not a constituent of the targeted officials, that’s good! This means your state representative already supports the bill as an author/co-author or they voted for it in committee. You can still sign the petition!
