Why It’s Flagged
Tex. Prop. Code § 202.022
§ 202.023 (enacted by SB 1588): A subdivision property owners' association may not adopt or enforce any restrictive covenant that prevents a property owner from building or installing security measures, including but not limited to a security camera, motion detector, or perimeter fence (including front-yard security fencing) on the owner's private property, although the association may regulate the type of fencing material and appearance.
Similarly, Tex. Prop. Code § 202.022 prohibits banning transparent mesh or black/clear pool safety enclosures.
