The Texas Property Code emphasizes the importance of retaining original governing documents for homeowner's associations. Section 209.005(m) mandates the permanent retention of certificates of formation, bylaws, restrictive covenants, and all amendments, highlighting their long-term legal significance. Additionally, Section 202.004 addresses the enforcement of restrictive covenants, where original documents are crucial for demonstrating established rules and their enforcement history. Furthermore, Section 207.006, which requires online posting of dedicatory instruments for larger HOAs, implies the continued relevance of these original documents. These sections collectively underscore the importance of preserving and referencing original governing documents for legal validity, historical context, and consistent application of community rules.
