Governance clause suspends owner voting rights or imposes non-statutory disqualifications on running for the Board of Directors (such as residency, good standing, or assessment currentness), which are void under Tex. Prop. Code § 209.0059 and § 209.00591.
Operative Clause · Sec. 2 (Page 7)
“Direct pecuniary interests may include the following: a) any amount of direct ownership or investment in the property or business in question, however small; b) a financial or business relationship with…”
Tex. Prop. Code § 209.0059 provides that a provision in a dedicatory instrument that would disqualify a property owner from voting in a property owners' association election of board members or on any matter concerning the rights or responsibilities of the owner is void.
Similarly, § 209.00591 declares void any provision that restricts a property owner's right to run for a position on the board (whether for delinquency, non-residency, or violation status), with the sole statutory exceptions being a felony conviction involving moral turpitude within the past 20 years or two co-residents serving simultaneously.
Furthermore, § 209.00592 protects an owner's right to vote by absentee or electronic ballot.
