10 Tex. Admin. Code §§ 10.1201–10.1207 § 10.1201

The purpose of this Subchapter is to: (1) Establish rules governing Developments owned or sponsored by a Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) that are subject to Sections 394.9026 and 394.9027 of the Texas Local Government Code. (2) Enable the Department to communicate with Responsible Parties and persons with an interest in the Development, regarding the results of the Audit Report. (3) Establish qualifications for Auditors and reporting standards and formats. (4) Implement compliance requirements, tenant protections, and affirmative marketing requirements, as required by Sections 394.9026 and 394.9027 of the Texas Local Government Code. (5) This rule is not applicable to a Development that is a recipient of Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits. For purposes of this rule, a recipient of Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits is any Development or HFC User that has received a Commitment Notice, or Determination Notice for an allocation of Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Department. During the time the Development is under construction or Rehabilitation, it will be considered to be a recipient of Housing Tax Credits, unless more than five years have passed since the Commitment Notice or Determination Notice was issued and the Development Owner has not yet entered into the Land Use Restriction Agreement. Upon conclusion of the construction or Rehabilitation, the Development must have an executed Land Use Restriction Agreement (LURA) with the Department that covers all the Residential Units. Then, the Development is considered to be a recipient of Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the term of the LURA between the Department and the Development Owner.
