There is help for your homeowners association!

The Dallas/Ft. Worth Chapter of the Community Associations Institute (CAI) has partnered with the other Texas chapters of CAI to launch the free HOA Hotline - a resource for homeowners and board members owning homes/units in condominium, townhome and subdivision community associations and have questions about the operations of their association.

The Hotline is staffed with local non-attorney experts knowledgeable in community association best practices. Please contact the hotline by filling out the form at www.dfwcai.org/hoa_hotline. If you prefer a response by phone, calls will only be made during normal business hours.

We urge homeowners to take advantage of this FREE resource. After all, isn’t it better to resolve issues quickly and reasonably now before they get out of hand later?

**Please note, the HOA Hotline panel, as well as CAI Staff will NOT give out legal advice. If seeking legal help, please contact the appropriate attorney, or legal service. LegalLine is an anonymous, free legal service, provided by the Dallas Bar Association. It is held on the second and third Wednesday of every month, from 5:30pm - 7:30pm. To reach a volunteer attorney call (214)220-7476. This program is by telephone only. There are Spanish-speaking attorneys when available.

Also, for a listing of some helpful CAI member attorneys skilled in HOA law, please visit www.dfwcai.org/attorneys.

How Do I Submit An Ar cle?

The DFW Chapter welcomes ar� cles! If you have an ar� cle that you believe would be important to our membership, you can send it directly to the DFW Chapter by e-mailing offi ce@dfwcai.org. Ar� cles can range anywhere from 700 words to several thousand words. We prefer that they be submi� ed in Word format. If you have pictures that accompany the ar� cle, please send them as a� achments instead of inside the body of the ar� cle. Ar� cles should be informa� ve in nature. You are welcome to provide a brief bio about the speaker, your company or community, along with contact informa� on for inclusion at the end of the ar� cle. Ar� cles and adver� sements are accepted un� l the middle of the month prior to publica� on. Contact is produced every quarter, in March, June, September, and December, so we would need your ar� cle or adver� sement no later than February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15 to ensure inclusion in the upcoming magazine. Contact is mailed to over 500+ ac� ve members each quarter.
