Sec. 221.090.  DUTIES; LIST OF OWNERS.  (a)  The association or managing entity of the association must maintain among its records a complete and current list of the names and addresses of all owners of timeshare interests in the timeshare plan.  The association or managing entity must update this list not less than quarterly.
(b)  The association or managing entity may not publish the owners list or provide a copy of the list to any owner or to any third party, except:
(1)  as reasonably required to conduct legitimate association business; or
(2)  as authorized or required by law.
(c)  On the termination of the period of developer control under Section 221.083 and on the written request of an owner, the association or managing entity shall send by first class mail to owners on the list described by Subsection (a) any materials provided by any owner if the purpose of the mailing is for legitimate association business, including a proxy solicitation for the recall of a board member elected by the owners or the discharge of the managing entity.  The use of the solicited proxies must comply with the project instrument and this chapter.  Materials required to be provided under this subsection must be mailed not later than the 30th day after the date the request is received from an owner.
(d)  The board or the managing entity is responsible for determining the appropriateness of a mailing requested under Subsection (c) and establishing reasonable procedures for exercising rights under this section.  The association or managing entity does not have an obligation to mail an item that the board or managing entity reasonably believes based on advice of legal counsel may be libelous or otherwise actionable.  An owner who requests the mailing of materials under Subsection (c) must reimburse the association or managing entity in advance for the actual costs of performing the mailing or a proportionate share of actual costs if the mailing is included in a mailing with other items.
(e)  After the termination of the period of developer control under Section 221.083, it is a violation of this subchapter to refuse to mail material provided by a requesting owner who has complied with the reasonable procedures established by the board or managing entity, if:
(1)  the sole purpose of the materials is to advance legitimate association business; and
(2)  the requesting owner has:
(A)  tendered to the association or managing entity payment of the cost under Subsection (d); or
(B)  requested an invoice for that cost and has not received the invoice before the 10th day after the date the request was delivered to the association or managing entity.
(f)  Except as otherwise authorized or required by law, the association or other managing entity may not furnish the name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address of any owner to any other owner or authorized agent of an owner unless the owner whose name, address, phone number, or e-mail address is requested first approves the disclosure in writing.
