Texas Landlords Rejoice! - HB 2489 passed into Law.

[Robert Steele]

This related directly to me and one of my PITA HOAs that wanted to decide for me whether I could rent to prospective tenants or not.

HB 2489 (Leach) Relating to the ability of a property owners' association to enforce certain provisions on the lease or rental of real property. This bill negated certain rights of a homeowner and condominium associations to obtain basic lease information from landlords.

Finally!  Property Rights to the Owner not the overlords!

[Andy H.]

Wow! I had no idea HOAs were even trying to do this previously. It's none of their business. What would have been next? Making prospective owner-occupants fill out an app before letting them buy a house in the neighborhood?

Yet another reason I despise HOAs.
