Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 223.001–223.007 § 223.002
APPLICABILITY.
Operative Text
Sec. 223.002. APPLICABILITY. This chapter does not apply to a timeshare plan, as defined by Section 221.002. Added by Acts 2025, 89th Leg., R.S., Ch. 1096 (H.B. 4211), Sec. 1, eff. June 20, 2025.
Texas Property Code §§ 223.001–223.007, Section 223.002 establishes a boundary on the reach of Chapter 223 by explicitly excluding timeshare plans from its coverage. A timeshare plan, as that term is defined under Section 221.002 of the same code, falls entirely outside the rules and requirements that Chapter 223 otherwise imposes. This carve-out was enacted as part of H.B. 4211 during the 89th Texas Legislative Session and took effect June 20, 2025.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Chapter 223 should be aware that Section 223.002 removes timeshare arrangements—as defined by Tex. Prop. Code § 221.002—from the chapter's scope entirely. Operators who manage conventional rental housing or other non-timeshare residential properties would generally confirm that their properties fall within Chapter 223's coverage and are not inadvertently treated as timeshare plans. Understanding this boundary helps compliant operators correctly identify which statutory framework governs their specific type of property arrangement.

Section 223.002 of the Texas Property Code clarifies that the protections and requirements established by Chapter 223 do not extend to timeshare plans as defined under § 221.002. Tenants living in conventional rental housing are generally unaffected by this exclusion, since their arrangements would not typically qualify as timeshare plans. Those uncertain about whether their housing arrangement falls under Chapter 223 or a different statutory framework may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Texas property law.
