CJ-2026-973 - Union Station South Homeowners Association, Inc. v. Judith Wright, and Spouse, if any; Tremaine Wright, and Spouse, if any; US Bank National Association; Bryan Stratton P.C.; and Occupants of the Property at 529 S. Tamarack Ave W, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma 74012

What's This Case About?

Let’s be real: you don’t file a foreclosure over $2,515.55 unless you’re either very serious about your HOA dues… or you really, really don’t like someone’s trash can placement. But here we are, in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, where the Union Station South Homeowners Association, Inc. has decided that the best way to handle a couple of late payments is to bring out the legal big guns — not just suing the homeowners, but dragging their divorce decree, their mortgage lender, a law firm with its own lien, and literally everyone currently breathing inside the house into court. This isn’t just a dispute over unpaid fees. This is a full-blown property apocalypse over less than three grand.

So who are these people? On one side, we’ve got Union Station South Homeowners Association, Inc., which sounds like a minor league soccer team but is actually a homeowners association — the self-appointed guardians of curb appeal, quiet hours, and mandatory trash bin camouflage. They’re represented by JT Stevenson of Jones Property Law, PLLC, a man whose job apparently includes sending certified threats over lawn violations and unpaid dues. On the other side: Judith and Tremaine Wright, former spouses and former co-owners of a modest home at 529 S. Tamarack Ave W in Broken Arrow. They bought this place together, presumably dreaming of suburban bliss, but somewhere along the way, the dream curdled into a divorce and a growing stack of unopened HOA invoices. Oh, and just for fun, US Bank National Association (the mortgage holder), Bryan Stratton P.C. (a law firm with its own financial claim on the property), and “Occupants of the Property” — which could be anyone from a roommate to a raccoon for all we know — are also named as defendants. Yes, the HOA sued the raccoon.

Now, what actually happened? It starts with money — or rather, the lack of it. According to the filing, the Wrights stopped paying their monthly HOA assessments. These aren’t fines for parking on the grass or letting your dog bark during Love Is Blind marathons — they’re routine fees that fund things like common area maintenance, landscaping, and possibly the HOA president’s espresso machine. The total owed? $2,515.55 as of February 24, 2026. That includes $804 in unpaid assessments, $29.35 in interest, $900 in collection and attorney fees (yes, they’re billing themselves for legal work), and $85 in “other charges” — which could be anything from a late-night notary fee in Miami (more on that later) to a surcharge for emotional distress caused by unkempt shrubbery.

Here’s where it gets weird. The HOA filed its lien on September 19, 2025 — but the Claim of Lien document was notarized in Miami, Florida, by a notary named Griffin Thayer Jordan, and signed by Antonio Martin, “Authorized Agent” of the HOA, who apparently lives or works in Florida. That’s right: a Tulsa County property dispute is being managed remotely from South Beach, with witnesses named Nellie Maceo and Camila Mora signing off on a lien affecting a suburban Oklahoma home. Did they Zoom in? Was there a margarita involved? We may never know. But what we do know is that this lien — filed from 1,200 miles away — triggered the entire legal cascade.

Meanwhile, the Wrights’ marriage was also collapsing. On July 31, 2024 — almost a year before the lien was even recorded — they finalized their divorce. In a twist that would make a soap opera writer blush, the decree awarded the Broken Arrow home entirely to Judith Wright. Tremaine was out — no appeal, no alimony, just a clean cut. The court even said that if either party refused to sign over the deed, the decree itself would act as the transfer. So legally, Judith now owns the house. But here’s the kicker: the HOA is still suing both of them, “jointly and severally,” meaning they can go after either (or both) for the full amount. That’s like suing a divorced couple for a Netflix subscription they canceled three years ago — but with foreclosure on the line.

And it gets messier. US Bank holds the mortgage — they took over from MERS, which is basically the ghost of mortgages past. Then there’s Bryan Stratton P.C., a law firm that somehow ended up with a $1,700 attorney’s lien on the property, filed in March 2024. Why? The filing doesn’t say. Did they represent the Wrights in the divorce? Are they suing someone else who once lived there? Is this a clerical error or a legal turf war? We don’t know, but now they’re being told to show up in court and explain themselves — or lose any claim to the property forever.

So why are we here? Legally, the HOA is trying to foreclose on its lien — which means they want the court to force a sale of the house to recover what they’re owed. Under Oklahoma law, homeowners associations can place liens on properties for unpaid dues, and those liens can eventually lead to foreclosure. It’s a nuclear option, but it’s legal. The HOA claims they’ve followed all the rules: they’ve sent notices, filed the lien properly (from Florida, apparently), and given everyone a chance to respond. Now they want the court to say: “Yes, this lien is valid. Yes, it trumps everyone else’s claims. Now sell the house and pay us first.”

And what do they want? Money, obviously. $2,515.55 — plus ongoing assessments, late fees, interest, and attorney’s fees. They’re also asking for injunctive and declaratory relief, which in plain English means: “We want a judge to officially declare that our lien is the most important thing attached to this property, and that everyone else — including the bank, the law firm, and Judith’s new boyfriend if she has one — has to fall in line behind us.” They also want the court to wipe out any competing claims, so that once the house is sold, no one can come back later saying, “Wait, I had a right to that money!”

Now, is $2,515.55 a lot? For a foreclosure? Honestly, no. Most banks won’t even look at you for less than $10,000. This amount is barely enough to cover the legal fees to file the foreclosure. The HOA is spending more on notary services in Florida than they’re trying to collect. It’s like using a flamethrower to light a birthday candle. But for the Wrights? It could be devastating. If the house is sold, Judith — who was just awarded it in the divorce — could lose her home over a debt that, frankly, could’ve been settled with a single certified check and a polite apology letter.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t the Florida notary, or the law firm with its own lien, or even the HOA suing “Occupants” like they’re exorcising a haunted house. It’s that this entire legal circus — the subpoenas, the liens, the cross-claims — is spinning out of control over a sum of money that wouldn’t even cover the down payment on a new HVAC system. This isn’t justice. This is bureaucracy on tilt. We’re rooting for common sense — and for someone, somewhere, to just pay the damn bill and save us all from another chapter in the never-ending saga of suburban property warfare. But if this goes to trial? We’re bringing popcorn. And a notary. Just in case.
