The ABC's of DRV's in Texas

Author’s Note and Disclaimer:  This article discusses Texas Property Owners Association (“POA”) Law and pertains to single family residential POA’s in Texas only.  

Even though a man’s home is his castle, he is still obligated to abide by deed restrictions if that home is in a common interest development encumbered by restrictive covenants.
