In Texas, mandatory membership to an HOA must be disclosed.

• A. Disclosed
• B. Optional
• C. Prohibited
• D. Negotiable

Answer: (A)

In Texas, information about HOA membership status is treated as material to a buyer, so it must be disclosed. The seller’s disclosure process requires indicating whether the property is subject to a homeowners association and whether membership is mandatory. If membership is mandatory, the seller should share what they know about dues, assessments, and any rules or restrictions that come with the HOA. This ensures the buyer understands ongoing costs and obligations before making a decision.

This isn’t optional or negotiable information; it’s a factual detail tied to the property’s obligations. If there’s no HOA or membership isn’t mandatory, that fact should be disclosed as well.
