How we comply with the law...

In comparative language to the Act...
The association rents the CondoSites product in order for the property owners' association or management company to provide an Internet website to make the current version of the association's dedicatory instruments available.

Exceeding Technological Standards

The CondoSites product exceeds the technological requirements set by the State of Texas by including SSL encryption, individual passwords for each user that are hashed before being transmitted and that are only known by that user, and offers separate password restricted content areas for both renters and realtors while still protecting owner privileged data.
