Is your board considering adding security cameras to the neighborhood? 🤔📹

It’s a common request from residents wanting to feel safer, but installing cameras in an HOA isn't as simple as mounting a lens and hitting record. Doing it wrong can lead to serious privacy lawsuits and unexpected liability!

In our latest guide, we break down what Texas boards need to know before installing surveillance:
🔹 Location Matters: Why cameras can only face common areas like pools and clubhouses, never private homes or backyards.
🔹 The Liability Risk: How promising "security" can actually make the HOA liable if a crime occurs.
🔹 Signage: The importance of posting notices that cameras are in use but are not actively monitored.
🔹 Policy Updates: Why your governing documents must clearly outline who has access to the footage and how long it is kept.

Is your HOA board simply copying and pasting last year’s budget? 🤔📉

Rising costs, inflation, and aging infrastructure mean that your community's expenses change every single year. If your board isn't carefully reviewing historical data and adjusting for the future, homeowners could get hit with unexpected special assessments!

In our latest guide, we break down exactly how to prepare a bulletproof HOA budget:
🔹 Early Planning: Why you need to start the budget process at the end of summer.
🔹 Texas Law: Understanding the open meeting requirements of the Texas Property Code.
🔹 Line Items to Watch: Accurately factoring in landscaping, insurance premiums, and management fees.
