Texas SB700 prohibits property owners' associations from restricting peaceful assembly, association, and speech of property owners or residents.

Texas SB700 amends the Property Code to limit the authority of property owners' associations. The bill prohibits these associations from enforcing provisions that restrict property owners or residents from peacefully assembling, meeting, or inviting guest speakers without prior approval. It also prevents associations from regulating the content of a property owner's or resident's speech. However, the bill allows associations to enforce restrictions on speech or conduct that threatens public health or safety, violates a law, or contains offensive language, graphics, or displays.
