Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing questions after county filings revealed she has carried an unpaid lien of more than $3,000 on her Dallas luxury condominium for over a year.
A notice filed on April 11, 2024, and available through the Dallas County Clerk’s website, shows Crockett owes the Westside Condominium Association a total of $3,047.79 in unpaid assessments and fees. The filing states that Crockett “is in default in her obligation for payment of assessments and has failed and refused and continues to fail and refuse, despite demand upon her, to pay the Association assessments and related charges properly levied against the Property.”
Because of the lien, the association maintains a legal claim on her unit — blocking any sale or transfer until the outstanding debt is satisfied.
The Dallas County Clerk’s Office confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday evening that there is no record of the lien being released, signaling the balance remains unpaid as of now. County property records show Crockett purchased the condo in May 2014. The unit sits in a gated community just north of downtown Dallas, where she is currently registered to vote.
According to a Homes.com listing for the building, Westside Condominiums markets itself as a “refreshing retreat” that blends “comfort and convenience in a secure setting.” The community features a pool, clubhouse, and modern interiors with “spa-like features” in the kitchen and bathrooms. HOA fees in the complex range from $222 to $403, covering shared facilities, structure maintenance, water and sewer.
Crockett is widely expected to announce whether she will enter the 2026 U.S. Senate race, and she has scheduled an event just before the state’s filing deadline. She has told reporters she is “closer to yes than no,” and multiple outlets report that she has already commissioned polling and spoken with potential primary rivals about the landscape. A Crockett Senate run would dramatically shift the dynamics of the Democratic primary, where she is viewed as a candidate capable of energizing progressives and younger voters.
A recent poll found Crockett trailing by a sizable margin against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other candidates in the state’s upcoming Senate race. The survey, conducted online by Democrat-leaning firm Change Research, found the far-left lawmaker trailing in hypothetical head-to-head matchups against Paxton and incumbent Senator John Cornyn.
Crockett trails against both potential challengers by eight percentage points, with a 42-50 percent result against Paxton and 41-49 percent against Cornyn. Paxton is currently the favorite to secure the Republican nomination, though the race is expected to be tightly contested after Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt entered the primary field back in October.
Further fueling attention are recent reports examining her campaign-finance spending. Filings show that in 2025 her campaign put nearly $75,000 toward luxury-level hotels, transportation, and security, including trips to New York, Los Angeles, and Martha’s Vineyard. Roughly $50,000 of that total appears to have gone toward private security, which Crockett’s allies say is necessary due to ongoing threats. Her critics argue the spending is excessive and out of step with her messaging.
The records detail charges for upscale hotel stays, limousine services, and travel across several major cities, all funded through campaign accounts. Crockett, who earns roughly $174,000 a year as a member of Congress, hasn’t publicly addressed the controversy.
