TX Property Code 202.010 protects Converse homeowners from HOA solar bans. HOAs can set reasonable aesthetic standards but cannot force placement reducing output by more than 10 percent.
Texas Property Code Section 202.010 prohibits property owners associations in Converse and statewide from enforcing deed restrictions that ban or unreasonably restrict the installation of solar energy devices. HOAs can adopt reasonable standards regarding: mounting so that panels do not extend above the roofline (if roof-mounted); placement on a less-visible roof slope or within a rear fenced yard (if ground-mounted) so long as relocation does not reduce system output by more than 10 percent or increase cost by more than 10 percent; color matching to the roof where feasible; and concealment of conduit. HOAs cannot require boards of directors to approve placement if the homeowner's proposed location is on a roof facing the backyard or otherwise not visible from the street frontage. Texas Property Code 202.011 similarly protects certain roofing materials from HOA bans. If a Converse HOA rejects a compliant solar application, homeowners may seek resolution through the HOA's dispute process or civil action. Contact Converse HOA or a Texas real estate attorney for specific disputes.
