HOA Document Changes

This year the Texas legislature enacted new rules and regulations for all HOAs in Texas. These changes go into effect as of January 1, 2012. These changes override our existing HOA documents in certain areas. These new rules and regulations are now on the Documents page under State of Texas 2011 HOA Legislative Changes. Please read through them so that you are in compliance. "Grandfathering" does not apply to these new rules.

Due to these changes, our ACC Policy Statement Rules and Standards has been updated to reflect these new rules.

Stage 3 Watering Restrictions
Murphy Farms will be in Stage 3 watering restrictions from November 1, 2011 - March 31, 2012. Murphy Farms is in Zone 3 which means we can water on Thursdays, twice a month. Most sprinkler systems will have to be run manually since the dates change every month and it is not every other week either.
