The Revamped Collections Process

The collection of delinquent assessments in POAs is perhaps the most sensitive function a POA undertakes. With that in mind, it is important for POAs to follow a very specific set of procedures. Those procedures are outlined by the Texas government in Sec. 209.0094 of the Texas Property Code but following the 88th Texas Legislative Session (and courtesy of HB 886) the procedure has been amended to extend the collection process. Shareholder Noelle Hicks of our Houston Office details the entire collections process including how the changes from HB 886 have extended the timeline of the notice requirements, the way notices are required to be delivered and other legal requirements related to the collection of delinquent assessments.
