Collin County HOA Architectural Control Committees govern per TX Property Code 209.00505. ACC must respond in writing within 30 days or approval is presumed. Member appeals go to HOA board.
TX Property Code 209.00505 requires written ACC decisions with specific reasons for denial. Applications deemed approved if ACC does not respond within 30 days in larger HOAs. State solar-access law (TX Prop Code 202.010) prevents HOAs from prohibiting solar panels though they may regulate placement. TX Prop Code 202.007 protects rain barrels and drought-resistant landscaping. ACC cannot require HOA-specific colors that prevent solar-reflective roofing (TX Prop Code 202.011).
