The bill amends various sections of the Property Code to enhance the organization, meeting procedures, and voting methods for condominium unit owners' associations and property owners' associations in Texas. Key changes include the requirement for unit owners' associations to be organized as a profit or nonprofit corporation, with the declarant unable to convey a unit until a certificate of formation is issued by the Secretary of State. Additionally, the bill allows meetings of the association to be conducted through electronic and telephonic means, ensuring that all directors can communicate effectively during board meetings.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for electronic voting, allowing owners to participate in votes via electronic ballots, absentee ballots, or proxies, thereby increasing accessibility and participation in association governance. The amendments also clarify the notice requirements for meetings, aligning them with the Business Organizations Code. These changes aim to modernize the operational framework of associations, making it easier for members to engage in decision-making processes. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
