Texas HB5387 prohibits property owners' associations from fining homeowners for discolored vegetation during water restrictions and for a period.
Texas HB5387 amends the Property Code to prevent property owners' associations from imposing fines on homeowners for discolored vegetation or turf during periods of residential watering restrictions. These restrictions are temporary limits on water use for irrigation, mandated by local authorities to conserve water during droughts. The bill also prohibits such fines for a reasonable time after the restrictions are lifted. This protection applies to violations of covenants requiring green vegetation or prohibiting discolored or brown vegetation or turf.
