Notice

The Condominium Owners’ Association has levied assessments against you and your unit that are secured by a continuing lien on the unit and on rents and insurance proceeds you receive relating to the unit. Under Texas Property Code section 82.113, the “assessments” secured by this lien and that you owe mean the following:

Select the following unless the declaration provides otherwise.

 _____ regular and special assessments

 _____ dues

 _____ fees

 _____ charges

 _____ interest

 _____ late fees

 _____ fines

 _____ collection costs

 _____ attorney’s fees

 _____ other amount due to the Condominium Owners’ Association

Additional assessments continue to accrue. Please call our office to confirm the exact payoff amount when you are prepared to pay. Partial payments received will be applied toward the assessment debt but will not stop foreclosure proceedings or extend any deadlines. To stop foreclosure proceedings you must pay this debt in full.

[Include the following if applicable: This firm has been retained to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.]

You have the right to bring a court action if you claim that you are not in default, or if you believe that you have any other defense to this demand for payment or to the foreclosure of the lien securing repayment of the above referenced assessment debt.

Continue with the following.

Please contact us for initial verification of the debt, and we will provide copies of statements of your account. Unless you dispute the validity of the above referenced debt, or any portion thereof, within thirty days after receipt of this notice, the debt will be assumed to be valid. If you do notify us in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, we will obtain an additional verification of the debt and will mail a copy of that additional verification to you. The current creditor is the original credi­tor.

This thirty-day verification period does not alter the earlier stated dead­lines.

Assert and protect your rights as a member of the armed forces of the United States. If you or your spouse is serving on active military duty, including active military duty as a member of the Texas National Guard or the National Guard of another state or as a member of a reserve component for the armed forces of the United States, please send written notice of the active duty mili­tary service to the sender of this notice immediately.
