  • Year: means 12 consecutive months. See Texas Government Code 311.005

A claimant’s right of appeal with respect to a claim determination by the association is governed by the association’s plan of operation. A claimant must bring an action, including an action for declaratory relief, challenging denial of a claim not later than one year after the date the claim was denied.
