HOA services in Texas

Texas is one of many places communities run HOAcrew. The platform is available to communities nationwide — this page covers what service work looks like here.

Texas has one of the densest concentrations of associations and municipal utility districts in the country. Open-meeting requirements make the bid-and-approve cycle more procedural here than in most states.

The season here

What the year looks like

Triple-digit summers push pool chemistry and irrigation to their limits, and city watering-day restrictions constrain when landscape crews can run. Gulf storms, hail, and hard freezes each produce their own emergency response season.

Texas HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in Texas?+
Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act, Tex. Prop. Code Ch. 209. Governs POA governance, records, enforcement, and hearing rights for residential subdivisions. Condominiums are covered separately by Texas Uniform Condominium Act, Tex. Prop. Code Ch. 82. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Are there reserve or bidding rules Texas boards need to know?+
Tex. Prop. Code § 209.0051: Requires open board meetings with notice for most POA business, which shapes how and when vendor contracts get approved.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in Texas?+
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality licensing landscape irrigators — Texas issues no statewide general-contractor license; electricians and licensed irrigators are regulated at state level. Every vendor’s insurance and trade credentials are collected, verified, and stored with their expiry dates, and held to a stated renewal window — 30 days for insurance, none for a competency certification. Once that window closes, the vendor cannot bid for or be awarded new work until it is current again.
Who regulates community pools in Texas?+
Texas Department of State Health Services and local health departments — public swimming pool and spa standards, permitting, and inspection. That is why pool scope on HOAcrew includes water-quality records and operator credentials, not just cleaning visits.
Is HOAcrew available here?+
Available to communities nationwide. Bring your own vendors anywhere; our vetted network is growing market by market.
Do you have vendors near me?+
Two ways it works. Invite the vendors you already use — they get credentialed and onboarded here, anywhere in the US. And where our vetted network has reached, additional vetted vendors can submit proposals too. Our network is growing market by market, so bringing your own vendor is always the fastest path.
