Frisco HOAs may enforce architectural standards via an ACC under TX Property Code §209.00505. Boards must respond to applications within 30 days or the request is deemed denied (not approved). State law limits HOA bans on solar panels, flags, religious items, and xeriscape.
Texas Property Code §202 limits HOA authority over certain protected improvements: solar panels (§202.010) cannot be prohibited though placement conditions are allowed, xeriscape/drought-tolerant landscaping (§202.007) must be permitted, US/Texas/military flags (§202.011) protected, religious items on doorframes (§202.018) protected. Architectural control committees must adopt written guidelines and decide applications within 30 days under §209.00505 or the application proceeds as submitted unless the ACC requests additional info. Denials must state the specific guideline violated and owner has appeal rights.
Improper ACC denial: owner may sue for injunction and attorneys fees under TX Property Code §202.004(c) and §209.008.
