SB 2586 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to information that a property owners' association must file with the Texas Real Estate Commission.

SB 2586 requires property owners' associations (POAs) in Texas to electronically file two specific documents with the Texas Real Estate Commission within seven days of recording a management certificate: their governing legal documents (dedicatory instruments) and enforcement rules (under Section 209.0061). The Commission may only use this information to make it publicly accessible online, not for enforcement. The bill also protects homeowners from liability for assessments or fees during periods when a POA fails to file, unless the delay was willful or due to gross negligence. This applies to all POAs, with existing associations required to file by June 1, 2026, after the Commission establishes the electronic system by December 1, 2025.
