We have heard that a Texas Senator named John Carona is CEO of a large Homeowner Association management company called ASSOCIA?
Is this true?
OK Texans - if this is true, you need to do your part and vote him OUT!!!

Barratry? That's interesting. Something to look into.
You wrote - "These people write and introduce legislation that makes what is not lawful legal." YES!!!
I have long maintained that these legislators, who with the stroke of a pen, vote to extinguish freedoms that are protected under our Constitution, are criminals of the worst kind. Under the guise of do-gooder politician - they have created a racket second only to the "Godfathers".
This legalized housing racket, through the efforts of people like you and AHRC, IS being exposed. Continue to spread the word.
Use flyers. Use word of Mouth. Use the Internet.
There isn't a place you can't go where you can't leave a couple of flyers that will be picked up by somebody. People are generally curious. They will pick it up and look at it.
Be creative with your flyers. Have fun. Sit back and watch the show.

"we managed to escape from our homeowners association"
Running away seems to be the most common "cure" for this affliction. This perpetuates and empowers the tyrannical monster. I've often felt like packing up and moving away just to get free from it. But then I consider the men who died giving us our "rights" that have been deliberately circumvented by the developers and the HOA management industry and I get that old feeling of a looming battle that all our soldiers feel when facing the enemy. I've always been a peaceful man, until they pushed me over the edge in 2000. Fortunately, I am surrounded by people who love me, and I got help. After 4 years of trying the "civilized route" - including testifying to my legislators, asking every "government" attorney to help and getting told that "it's a private contract matter - take em to court" I discovered something else. We have been denied access to Justice in court by the promulgation of laws that protect the HOA managers and incumbants when they break the law. These people write and introduce legislation that makes what is not lawful legal.
I took the bastards to court, spent my llife's savings only to find that I had opened a Civil Consiracy case that would likely take this industry down. I didn't have the funds to sustain my own lawyer for 5 years of constant litigation and appeals that the other side would fund with the HUGE insurance company's backing - so I settled for a measely $12,000 and set a different tack. It's much cheaper to fight these regimes thru confronting them with the truth in front of thier membership meetings, and inciting the masses to respond via petitions to outlaw the practice of using Foreclosure as a weapon of first resort - stirring up litigation for profit is a crime known as BARRATRY. These Contracts form a very thin barrier between barratry and legitimate litigation - clearly using a lawsuit to collect less than $1 in late dues should be considered BARRATRY and those responsible should lose thier liscense and be bannished from ever practyicing law again.
I believe using a lawsuit to collect less thatn $1000 in principle dues should be a crime...my HOA manager refuses to use the telephone to call someone who's late on their payments before inititating legal action. They choose to use the snail mail processes, and refuse to call people. I speculate that if they call people, then they may alert people to a delinquent biull, and thier friends in the law office miss the opportunity to jack up the legal fees ($175 for the first letter) and that would just not be profitable.
These are barratry rackets, put in place via conspiracy by the HOA management law firms and the Developers who use the management companies to "manage" thier housing mills while they are selling houses in them. Then the management companies get hand-picked board members in place to insure their cash flow from the purchasers of homestead housing via these "purchase agreements" that equate to Extortion agreements. There is no requirement that buyers be served with a true and complete copy of this contract, most times they only see these things long after they've closed and moved in- and they get a notice of violation for putting up a toll shed without asking permission - then the tyranny starts with the HOA lawyers using "you agreed to this contract" to terrorize and extort funds from the "guilty".
These contracts should expire when the developer "leaves the neighborhood". Most "Mandatory HOA LAw" comes complete with a process to form a mandatory association, requiring up to 3/4 of all the property owners to sign a petition to form one. But this process has very rarely been used to form associations, these things have been put in place by a conspiracy between the developers and the HOA management interests. I believe that the legislatures need to enact new laws that cause these develoiper-ccreated contracts to expire unless a properly formed MAndatory HOA is formed via petition as specified in the laws written for such purpose.
This should not apply to condominums or other "all you can eat buffet" type housing where the dues pay for necessities like water and electricity. This should only apply to HOA's that manage detatched family homes - and the dues only provide for maintenance of common areas such as modest displays of flower beds and fencing, and even clubhouses, pools and parks cannot be described as "necessitites" that deserve the punishment of foreclosure for non-payment of miniscule "dues payments" that might add up to $1500 every ten years.

That edge you refer to has been too close for comfort for me.
Never thought those thoughts could pass my mind. they don't anymore, because we managed to escape from our homeowners association.
