Laredo HOA CCR enforcement must comply with Texas Property Code Chapter 209, requiring written notice, cure period, optional hearing, and reasonable fine schedules. Fines and deed restriction enforcement are preempted by statutory owner protections on solar, flags, and xeriscaping.
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) in Laredo subdivisions are recorded in the Webb County real property records and run with the land. HOA boards enforce CCRs through Chapter 209 procedures: written notice identifying the violation and cure required, minimum 30-day cure period, owner right to request hearing under 209.007, and reasonable fine schedule tied to a published policy. Selective enforcement (ignoring some violations while pursuing others) can estop the HOA from enforcing in court. Certain restrictions are void under Texas law regardless of CCR language: bans on solar panels (202.010 with narrow aesthetic exceptions), US/Texas flags (202.011), religious displays on doors (202.018), rainwater harvesting (202.007), and drought-tolerant landscaping (202.007). Amendments to CCRs generally require supermajority member vote per the declaration. Long-abandoned restrictions may be unenforceable under waiver or changed-conditions doctrines.
Courts can enforce CCRs via injunction and monetary damages but may refuse relief for selective or discriminatory enforcement. Prevailing owners may recover attorney fees under 209.006.
