Steps homeowners can take if the HOA is falling down on the job of maintaining the property.
Yes. Dissolution of the HOA should be address in its bylaws. It would probably have to vote to dissolve itself.

To legally dissolve a homeowners association (HOA) in Texas, you typically need to follow the process outlined in the HOA's governing documents, such as the bylaws or articles of incorporation. This may involve obtaining approval from a majority of the HOA members, holding a special meeting, and filing dissolution paperwork with the state. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional familiar with Texas HOA laws to ensure compliance with all necessary steps.
Yes, but you'll probably get sued.
Covenant enforcement -- in any state -- is the responsibility of the association's board of directors. You can find the process in the Bylaws under Enforcement.
Yes, a homeowners association (HOA) board member can be removed. The specific process and causes for removal can vary depending on the HOA's bylaws and state laws, but some common reasons for removal include violation of fiduciary duties, misconduct or unethical behavior, financial mismanagement, failure to fulfill board responsibilities, or a breach of the HOA's governing documents. It's important to consult the HOA's bylaws or seek legal advice for the specific requirements and procedures for board member removal in a particular HOA.

There is no standard. If there is an expiry condition of the governing documents, that detail is written within them.

Your board of directors are most able to answer your specific question.
Yes, a Homeowners Association (HOA) can have an insurable interest in a fence on a property that is not on the common ground of the HOA. The HOA is responsible for maintaining and enforcing certain rules and regulations for the entire neighborhood or community, which may include the maintenance and insurance of fences on individual properties. It is important to review the specific bylaws and governing documents of the HOA to determine their insurance responsibilities.
To find HOA documents, you can start by contacting your homeowners association directly. They should be able to provide you with access to the governing documents, such as the bylaws, covenants, conditions, and restrictions. You can also check the HOA's website or visit their office to request copies of these documents. Additionally, some states require HOAs to make certain documents available to homeowners upon request.
