There was another case, in Texas too, I believe where an older widow didn't pay a HOA due after her husband died.
The amount was in the low hundreds (maybe $300).
HOA liened her house, then forced sale.
A local landlord put a bid that was found later to be about 70% under market (like $125,000 offered for a $400,000 home). The HOA Board voted to accept the offer and sold the house to this landlord.
In the drama that unfollowed there was also this little nugget: the landlord was on the HOA Board, and was one of the ones who pushed for the forced sale, and then voted in favor of the Board accepting his short offer on the house.
I don't recall the details of the outcome, although I believe some compensation was paid out to her.
