HB 5387 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the authority of a property owners' association to assess a fine for discolored vegetation or turf during a period of residential watering restriction.

HB 5387 would allow property owners' associations to impose fines on homeowners for discolored vegetation or turf during residential water restrictions. This directly affects homeowners in communities with such associations, who may face penalties if their lawns or plants discolor due to insufficient watering during mandatory conservation periods. The bill grants associations explicit authority to enforce these fines as part of water conservation compliance measures. It does not alter existing water restrictions but clarifies the enforcement process for associations.
