Buying home with HOA and have not yet obtained HOA governing documents, closing next week.

First time home buyer located in Texas and I've been asking for the HOA information since our option period. I was under the impression that it was the seller's responsibility to provide them to us (per the addendum in the contract) but was told by our agent that the title company is allowed to act as the buyer in this situation. After taking another look at the contract, it indeed says that is the case. After kicking myself for not seeing that, I ask my agent when I can get them from the title company. Agent contacts title company, title company sends over the resale certification and says that I can contact the HOA treasurer myself to get the governing documents since they do not have them. I contact the HOA treasurer and no reply. My agent asks the sellers agent for them and they say they don't have any either.

It was my understanding that these had to be apart of our final documents come closing, is that correct? Is it normal for people to close on homes without obtaining the HOA governing documents? My SO and I are not ok with closing before reading through them, and we are prepared to push closing if need be. Can someone please help me understand what's going on and what my options might be?

Edit: in Texas

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
