Home Owners Associations in Texas can no longer prevent you from flying U.S., Texas, or a branch of the U.S. armed forces flag. This is a huge victory for property owners and the Texas Assocation of REALTORS® as they helped lobby for this long overdue change. Most importantly, Veterns won't be fined by their HOA for displaying a flag that they helped defend.

 

Here are some other noteworthy changes to what HOA's can no longer prevent:

Installing a solar-energy device on the property.
Installing and use rain-harvesting devices.
Display certain religious items on the entry of the property.
Install roof shingles that are wind and/or hail resistant, energy efficient, or solar generating.

 

Happy Flag Day Texans!

That is good to know. . .I have experienced the dictatorship mentality of some of those associations over the years. .

Great changes!  Our HOAs here have WAY too much power over things like this.  Hopefully these become precedent for change here.

Sounds like changes that were more than over due.

This has been an issue Greg with many HOA's with the spotlights on the poles or the flapping in the wind of the flag or clanging gets the pole metal pieces of the rope. It has been pretty silly in my opinion to stop another's patriotism.

I'm happy to learn of this change but disappointed that it was needed in the first place. Good job Texas.

I've always thought that keeping some one from flying the American flag was unconstitutional. I can't believe that could happen in Texas!

Greg,

It's about time that some of these HOA's got their ears pinned back. Good for TAR for sticking up for what's right.

Sorry I found this at the end of the day -- suggested anyway.  Maybe we can have a "belated" Happy Flag Day!  Great news and hopefully more states will follow the lead!!

I understand the purpose of HOA's; however sometimes the rules do not make much common sense.  The legislature did a good job on this one.

Sometimes people have too much free time to develop ways to get into other people's business. Glad to hear so much of the nonsense has be struck down, at least for now.
