Relating to a property owners' association's authority to require installation or maintenance of grass or turf landscaping.

HB 2269 amends Texas Property Code to limit property owners' associations' (POAs) authority over landscaping. It prohibits POAs from requiring homeowners to install or maintain grass/turf landscaping (Section 1(2)) and prevents them from restricting eco-friendly practices like composting grass clippings, using rain barrels, efficient irrigation, or drought-resistant landscaping (Section 1(1)). The bill directly affects homeowners in communities governed by POAs, giving them more flexibility for sustainable landscaping choices. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
