A home owner in Waterwood sent the Waterwood Park Propert Owner’s Association an official request to view POA records on March 4, 2014. She sent the request individually to Pedro Orduno, Jim Clement, and Charlotte Rabe by certified mail.
Each WPPOA board member had to sign to receive the letter, which provided a date in which they all received the request. The date was March 4, 2014.

Waterwood Park Property Owners AssociationThis is the second notification of a request for information pursuant to Texas Property Code, Title 11, chapter 209: Texas Property Owners Protection Act, subsection 005, paragraph (c). The first notification was sent directly to Charlotte Rabe and signed for on Jan. 23, 2015. I request, again, copies of all records, filings, audits, and other financial documents, including the memorandum of understanding with Waterwood Developement pursuant to the transfer of properties to the WPPOA. I also need copies of minutes of meetings and dates and results of any elections held by the organization registered with the State of Texas as a non-profit corporation styled Waterwood Park Property Owners Association.
I am still aware that there will be a cost accrued for copying these documents, and I will, of course, defray that cost. As more than enough time has already passed to gather the documents, I will hold the WPPOA responsible to respond with out delay. I expect to have the documents within 10 days of the time this letter is signed for.
Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code is the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act. It gives a POA 10business days to comply to a request to view documents. Afterward, legal action can be taken against the entity for not being open to property owners.
On March 18, 2015, the home owner still hadn’t received any answer to her Open Records Request, placing the WPPOA in violation of the law.
This was the 2nd Open Records Request to the WPPOA made by the same home owner.
