HB 140 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to the repeal of a prohibition on property owners' association rental restrictions based on a person's method of payment.

HB 140 repeals a provision in the Texas Property Code (Section 202.024) that prohibited homeowners' associations (HOAs) from restricting rentals based on a tenant's payment method (e.g., cash, check, or digital payment). This change would allow HOAs to establish rules limiting rentals paid by certain methods, directly affecting HOAs and renters in communities governed by such associations. The bill takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends, removing a current restriction on HOA policies. It is a procedural change focused solely on altering a specific legal provision, with no additional funding or implementation mechanisms.
