Texas Voting Rules for Boards and Members

What Texas's statutes say about board votes, emergencies, meetings, and member ballots, as Qwibie summarizes them, with the citation for each.

Can the Board Vote without a Meeting?

Homeowners associations

Texas property owners' association boards may act by electronic vote if every director can weigh in and vote; it's summarized at the next meeting. Fines, assessments, the budget, foreclosure, officer elections and similar topics need an open meeting.

Qwibie counts the vote as: Every director consents in writing.

  • Every director reasonable opportunity to vote
  • Summarize at next meeting in minutes

How Are Votes Taken in a Board Meeting?

Homeowners associations

Texas boards may meet by video or phone if every director can hear the others and owners can listen the same way; the notice says how to join.

Qwibie counts the vote as: A majority of votes cast.

  • All directors hear each other
  • Owners hear board same medium
  • Notice has access instructions

Not legal advice

These are Qwibie's own summaries, not the law, and they don't say what the law is today. Open the source to read the text, and ask your attorney how it applies to your organization. Your articles and bylaws may set a different rule where the statute allows it.
