Grapevine HOAs enforce deed restrictions per Texas Property Code 202 and 209. State law limits enforcement of certain items (solar, flags, xeriscaping, religious displays) and requires due process.
Covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) in Grapevine subdivisions are private contracts running with the land and enforced by the association and its members. Texas Property Code Chapter 202 limits enforcement of certain items including solar energy devices (202.010), display of US flags (202.011), religious items on door frames (202.018), rainwater harvesting and drought-resistant landscaping (202.007), and political signs during election periods (202.009). Chapter 209 adds procedural requirements for notice, hearings, and attorney fee recovery. CC&R enforcement typically proceeds through notice, hearing, fines, and suit for injunction or specific performance. Texas courts often enforce CC&Rs liberally to protect subdivision integrity but scrutinize selective enforcement. Unresolved violations may result in liens for attorney fees and court costs. Owners should review CC&Rs before making exterior changes.
