TDHCA has announced a rule action relating 10 TAC Chapter 10 Uniform Multifamily Rules, Subchapter F Compliance Monitoring, Section 10.625 Events of Noncompliance, that was approved by the TDHCA Governing Board on May 7, 2026. This rule will be released for public comment and returned to the Board for final adoption.  The rule, including its preamble, is expected to be published in the Texas Register edition for May 22, 2026. The published version will constitute the official version for purposes of public comment and can be found at the following link: https://www.sos.texas.gov/texreg/index.shtml.

The purpose of this action: there are two sections of the Compliance Monitoring rule, Sec. 10.612 Tenant File Requirements and new Sec. 10.628 Verification of Occupant Legal Status for HOME, HOME ARP, and NHTF Developments that were adopted by the Board at the Board meeting of April 9, 2026. To ensure the new compliance monitoring requirements can be enforced it is necessary to make several additions to the list of Events of Noncompliance found in 10 TAC Sec. 10.625. The amendment is needed to ensure cohesiveness with the rule and the list of noncompliance events.

The proposed rule action can be found on the TDHCA Public Comment Center at https://www.tdhca.texas.gov/tdhca-public-comment-center.
