here in the DFW area and in my hood, BETO signs have been in yards for months. HOA says they can only be a month before and a week after, but they all ignored it and have them out anyway. some even have lights on them at night. it’s insane and I complained to the HOA. well, they did NOTHING about it and still haven’t. I guess we all know why. If he wins I’m leaving Texas i’ll tell you that.
Its the free food at the annual bbq.
Ditto. I can understand Europeans doing it. Individual freedom is not as big a deal there.
I am in a HOA community.....of condominiums. The HOA takes care of all exterior work - lawns, plantings, painting, etc. This works for me since I am a senior citizen with limited mobility. So far, zero problems.
Al HOAs eventually turn into retribution oriented fiefdoms, making life miserable for those under its control...................
Well, this community has been here for 15 years and all of the residents I have met speak highly of this HOA. Maybe I fell into a good situation somehow.
I live in an HOA community. They forbid any lawn signs of any type. And I’m glad they do.
HOAs are a Constitutional abomination. They are illegal in so many ways I fail to see how they continue to exist. Im not aware of any cases going to SCOTUS but they need to.
This article is bullshit. I was part of community associations institute. It is a not for profit organization that provides credentials for community association managers and is not affiliated with any management company. There are no kickbacks from the chapters to management companies; they also pay to be members. Also, HOAs ARE governed under the nonprofit Act and ACC members are usually appointed, not elected. Holy cow, what a conglomeration of half truths and crap.
I went to one and one board member wore a Hillary button. I thought about wearing a MAGA hat to the next meet but decided to sell. Didn’t want to deal with those old hags on other issues but then they needed to be cut own a notch. The complex was 50% rented units so the pride in ownership was not there but the busy-body crap got me to cash out.
HOA...… It’s all about “control”, not necessarily for the good of the neighborhood but for those who want things THEIR way.

Middle aged men serving out their careers as the small fish in the corporate pond, controlled by the boss at work and the wife at home. They feel a need to control something. Ergo... the neighborhood HOA
We told our real estate agent when we were buying our home that NO HOAs were even to be considered...................
I live in Sun City, TX. They allow one sign per candidate starting 90 days before the election. And most of the Beto signs were up that very first day. There are probably more Beto signs than Cruz signs, but that is highly misleading, because maybe 5-10 percent of the yards have signs, and the rest just don’t want to deal with obnoxious Dem neighbors - but will vote GOP when the time rolls around.
Would never live in a HMO.
Chapter 202 of the Texas Property Code supersedes your documents. Political signs are allowed starting in 2011. Your HOA can’t prohibit them anymore.
I believe our HOA does the same - forbids any lawn signs.
Would never live in a HMO.
Or, A HOA for that matter.
