I am a member of a Texas HOA and am concerned that our recent Board of Directors election was handled improperly. Prior to the election, one of our then board members sent email using the official board email account to all members of the association listing the names of all registered candidates that would be listed on the ballot and a list of un-registered people that were described as voluntary candidates that could be write-in's on the ballot.

Does any one know if there are Texas election laws that would address this type of active by a standing board member?

Thanks
