Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
My HOA president insists on having an opening prayer at each HOA meeting. This offends me immensely, as I am not a Christian. Is this legal since I have to pay dues to this organization?

It is legal because it is not a public forum such as a library, courthouse, or public school. If you are truly offended I would write a letter asking for a moment of silence instead - they should be sensitive to your request. As a last resort, you can petition for a restraining order.
