During the legislative session in 2011, the State of Texas made a series of changes to the process in which Cinco Residential Property Association, Inc. may foreclose on a owner for lack of payment of assessment.  These changes lengthened the process by a number of weeks, and as a result added steps that by default, add additional costs to the process.  It could be argued that the legislature, while trying to assist property owners of Associations with allowing them more time, has made the process more costly to the owner.

In the past, the following steps took place before a property could be sold at foreclosure:  1.  HOA sends a demand letter to owner giving a 30 day period to pay the past due assessment.  2.  Foreclosure letter and posting of Notice of Sale then is filed and sent.  3.  This process takes place approximately 3 weeks prior to the actual foreclosure sale.  4.  After this 21 day period, the HOA may either "pass" the sale if payment(s) are received or follow through with the sale.  The entire process takes approximately 51 days and costs the HOA which in turn is billed to the property owner approximately $500 - $700.

Now the following takes place:  1.  HOA sends a demand letter to owner giving a 30 day period to pay the past due assessment.  2.  HOA attorney files a Application of Foreclosure with the County Court and the property owner has 38 days to respond.  3.  HOA attorney files a Motion of Entry with the County Court and Court has approximately 20 days to accept motion, along the same time property owner may make payment.  4.  County Court signs the Order to Proceed with Foreclosure after this 20 period is over.  5.  Foreclosure process begins with a 21 day period before foreclosure sale.  6.  After this 21 day period, the HOA may either "pass" the sale if payment(s) are received or follow through with the sale.  The entire process takes approximately 99 days and costs the HOA which in turn is billed to the property owner approximately $1200 - $1700.

As you can see, the allowance of time of approximately 7 weeks allows the property owner time to pay, but also ends up costing the Association quite a bit more, and in turn, the property owner.

This article was requested to be published by the CRPA Board for informational purposes only.  The above is taken from excerpts from the Texas Property Code along with a summary document provided by the Association's attorney.  Nothing above takes the place or represents anything of a change in the existing recorded policy of CRPA, Inc.  If you have any questions, please contact the management office at 281-599-0408 and ask for Jason Blackman.
