Why It’s Flagged
Tex. Prop. Code § 209.0041(h)-(h-1)
Under Tex. Prop. Code § 209.0041(h) and (h-1), a residential subdivision declaration may be amended only by a vote of 67 percent of the total votes allocated to property owners in the property owners' association.
If the declaration contains a lower percentage, that lower percentage controls, and if the declaration specifies a percentage higher than 67%, the statutory 67% ceiling overrides the higher threshold.
