Texas law bars a property owners' association from prohibiting solar energy devices. Williamson County HOAs like Sun City and Cimarron Hills may set reasonable placement conditions but cannot ban rooftop solar outright under Property Code Section 202.010.
Texas Property Code Section 202.010 prevents any Williamson County homeowners' association from enforcing a deed restriction that prohibits or restricts a solar energy device. Associations in master-planned communities such as Sun City, Cimarron Hills, and Teravista may regulate placement - for example requiring panels to conform to the roofline - but only where doing so does not reduce estimated energy production by more than ten percent. An association may not withhold approval unless the proposed placement substantially interferes with a neighbor's use and enjoyment of their land.
An HOA that denies or fines a compliant solar installation is enforcing a void provision. The owner can recover through the courts, and the association risks paying attorney's fees.
