Origins of the HOA's right of Foreclosure...Understanding Inwood vs. Harris

Nonprofit homeowners' association brought action against homeowners who were delinquent in their payment of assessments. The 152nd District Court, Harris County, Jack O'Neill, J., awarded association judgment but denied foreclosure. The association appealed. The Houston Court of Appeals, Dunn, J., 707 S.W.2d 125, affirmed. Association petitioned for review. The Supreme Court, Robertson, J., held that homestead law did not protect homeowners against foreclosure for failure to pay assessments.
