I could scream about all the incompetence I've experienced dealing with House #1. I wrote in my blog back in mid-May about the Property Management company for the HOA in the housing subdivision my property is located in. To recap, I called them for the By Laws & Covenants (i.e., Deed Restrictions) for the particular subdivision. I was told to email some lady there, which I did twice. I then had to follow up with several phone calls, and still got nothing. I finally had enough, and went by their office yesterday to speak with someone in person. The lady there kept saying I should have got it at closing, which I kept telling her I didn't (note: it's as if she didn't want to give me a copy , since I should already have one). She said she didn't have a copy available, but would make one and send it to my address. I specifically had her write down my PERSONAL address and not the address of House #1. Let's see if they can get it right this time.
And this is a property management company mind you. :-(

I'm wondering if you even really need to worry about it. I've heard from two others recently that HOA's are essentially powerless. They can try to put a lien on your property, but will usually fail. A local HOA tried to do just that recently--hired an attorney to handle it--and was told by a judge that they didn't have the right. I say you're probably OK letting it go. They'll contact you if they require money. If they DON'T contact you, and try to place a lien on the property, no judge will allow that.
I'm not really sure, but I've heard HOA's in Texas have a lot of clout (as long as they register properly). I've been told that their weight is so great, it can really be hard to win a judgement even when it's really in your favor. Of course, I don't really want to find out. :-)
