But if your issue will likely involve litigation (which, without knowing what your specific HOA issue is, I'm thinking litigation might be a possibility) you will definitely want a local attorney that will be able to appear in court, depositions, and/or settlement conferences if your issue ever gets to that point.

I don't know how small claims works in TX, but when I had to chase a deadbeat for unpaid commission in Mass, he kept failing to show for hearings.I was finally able to present my case and evidence to the Magistrate who said I could have both a capias (civil arrest, where the defendant is forcibly brought to court) and an execution (sheriff or constable can seize assets and sell them to satisfy the judgement).What finally got me paid was when I gave him a hard deadline and told him that if I wasn't paid in full by X date at Y time, I was going to have his WIFE (also a named defendant) civilly arrested at work.As you might suspect, that got the deadbeat moving very quickly and yes, I was paid in full.
