In Texas, property disputes move fast, but lawsuits move slow. Whether you are an HOA board member trying to enforce deed restrictions or a homeowner facing unexpected fines, Texas Quick provides a streamlined mediation process to resolve conflicts in hours, not years.
Texas real estate law is unique. We specialize in mediating issues specific to the Lone Star State:
HOA & POA Conflicts: Enforcement of deed restrictions, architectural control disputes (ACC), and contested fines.
Assessment & Lien Disputes: Resolving unpaid dues and "Chapter 209" hearing issues before they lead to foreclosure.
Boundary & Easement Issues: Fences, property lines, and shared access disagreements between neighbors.
Sellers’ Disclosures: Claims involving undisclosed property defects or "As-Is" clause misunderstandings.
Construction Defects: Resolving disputes between homeowners and builders over workmanship or warranty claims.
Compliance with Chapter 209: Under the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act, homeowners have a right to a hearing and the option for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). We help you satisfy these requirements quickly.
The Binding Power of the MSA: In Texas, a Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA) is a powerful tool. When drafted correctly, it is a binding contract that a judge can enforce immediately if either party fails to perform.
Preserving the Neighborhood: Unlike a public trial, mediation is private. It allows neighbors to find creative solutions (like a modified landscaping plan) that a judge simply doesn't have the authority to order.
Avoiding "Attorney Fee Bloat": Texas HOA law often allows the prevailing party to recover attorney fees. One day of mediation can prevent $20,000+ in legal fees that often eclipse the actual cost of the repair or fine in dispute.
To get to a resolution faster, we recommend parties bring the following:
The "209 Letter": The formal notice of violation sent by the association.
Dedicatory Instruments: A copy of the CC&Rs, Bylaws, and specific Board Rules in question.
Visual Evidence: Timestamps, photos, or survey maps of the property issue.
Communication Log: A timeline of emails or letters exchanged between the owner and the management company.
$300 for 4 Hour Mediation Per Party
$500 for 8 Hour Mediation Per Party
Texas Quick Mediation is committed to maintaining the highest ethical and legal standards in the provision of dispute resolution services. We recognize the importance of the regulatory frameworks governing the Texas real estate and title industries and operate in strict accordance with the following:
In accordance with Section 8 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Texas Quick Mediation does not provide, and real estate professionals may not accept, any "thing of value" (including cash, referral fees, gifts, or marketing credits) in exchange for the referral of settlement service business. Our professional relationships are based solely on our ability to facilitate successful closings and protect the interests of all parties involved.
We operate in total alignment with TREC Rule §535.148, which prohibits license holders from receiving undisclosed commissions or rebates.
Texas Quick Mediation does not offer "kickbacks" or unearned fees for referrals.
Any joint educational activities or "Lunch & Learns" conducted by Texas Quick Mediation are performed on a bona fide educational basis and are never conditioned on the referral of business.
We encourage all referring agents to ensure their clients are aware that the use of our mediation services is strictly voluntary.
Regarding referrals from title insurance agents and escrow officers, we strictly adhere to Procedural Rule P-53. Texas Quick Mediation does not engage in any activity that would constitute an illegal rebate or the subsidizing of a "Producer’s" business expenses. All fees for services rendered are billed directly to the parties involved or as part of the settlement agreement at established market rates.
At Texas Quick Mediation, we believe the best referral is one based on performance, not payment. We serve as a neutral, third-party resource that helps Texas agents meet their fiduciary duty to clients by resolving conflicts efficiently, protecting earnest money, and ensuring the integrity of the real estate transaction.
Notice to Consumers: The choice of a mediator is an important decision. You are not required to use Texas Quick Mediation for your dispute resolution needs and are encouraged to select the provider that best fits your specific situation.
