Relating to regulation of certain landscaping and water conservation practices by certain property owners' associations.

HB 3995 repeals a provision in the Texas Property Code (Section 202.007(e)) that previously restricted property owners' associations (like homeowners' associations) from regulating certain landscaping and water conservation practices. This change allows associations to implement their own rules for these practices, directly affecting HOAs and the homeowners they govern. The bill removes a legal barrier, enabling associations to enforce standards related to yard maintenance and water use. It takes effect on September 1, 2025. (This is a procedural bill focused on repealing a specific code section.)
