| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 209.00591, Property Code, is amended by | ||
| adding Subsection (a-2) to read as follows: | ||
| (a-2) A person may not serve on the board of a property | ||
| owners' association if the person cohabits at the same primary | ||
| residence with another board member of the association. This | ||
| subsection does not apply: | ||
| (1) to an association with fewer than 10 residences; | ||
| or | ||
| (2) during a subdivision's development period to | ||
| affect the eligibility to serve on the board of: | ||
| (A) a person who cohabits with a developer of the | ||
| subdivision regulated by the association; or | ||
| (B) the developer. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act does not | ||
| affect the entitlement of a member serving on the board of a | ||
| property owners' association immediately before the effective date | ||
| of this Act to continue to carry out the board's functions for the | ||
| remainder of the member's term. The change in law applies only to a | ||
| member elected on or after the effective date of this Act. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
| a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
| provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
| Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
| Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
