It depends on if that particular HOA owns and maintains the streets, or are they public streets owned by the city or county. If it's the latter, it's the police that will handle it. And it's bullshit that it's too heavy/big to remove. I've seen pieces of heavy equipment bigger than that on flatbed trucks going down the highway with pilot cars as a wide load. The towing bill he would have to pay would be four or five figures.

Well, technically, the tank is actually DESTRUCTION equipment, so......

If the HOA has no jurisdiction over the public street, he doesn't have to do a thing with the HOA, and can rightfully tell them to piss off. The city/county is another matter though. |

It's going to the tank owner's ranch in a couple weeks. The HOA is trying to show him they are in charge and he's telling them to piss up a rope.
I'd bet a dollar the HOA gave him a hard time about something in the past and he's just being a thorn in their side. |

He's got $ 600,000 to spend on a tank, I'm sure wasting time on a legal battle with the city of Houston or Harris County would just be an entertainment expense for him. |

If it's a public road, the city/county may be able to act more directly. But he's probably already done the research on that. |

When he bought his house, he agreed to the deed restrictions that were attached. Nothing more. That the HOA is trying to overstep their bounds should be no concern of his. Worst that can happen is that the HOA starts nit-picking anything pertaining to him that they DO have authority over. Not good for the HOA if they selectively target him for violations that are present elsewhere because they have their panties in a wad over his tank. That could get expensive for the HOA in a hurry if he slaps a discrimination suit on them. |

My previous post was not exactly correct. The HOA can also be the place for Mrs Cravitts husband. Et tu, Tx Ag?

I swear the following is true, but for substantiation you would have to contact my ex.....not happening....this happened long about '79 or so.....
we living in a townhouse community on a hillside, basements had sliding glass doors to the back lawns....out front is parking for two cars, right off the street, out in the weather.....each block had about a dozen homes, with some 60' of lawn in between structures/rows.....obviously we had a HOA, used to give me crap about our sailboat mast over hanging the sidewalk in front of our house....BUT at any rate, that 60' of grass area was used as a pet crap area dawgs on leashes, but CATS were allowed to roam per county rules..... the guys on the two end units on each side decided to take over the grass for their kids to play ball on, football or soccer....anyway they did not want dawg or cat crap all over the lawn....so they pitched a bitch with flyers, and most of the folks paid it never mind....BUT the cats of course continued to use it as a crap/piss area..... folks next door had a cat they let out front, our cats ran out the back when I removed the fixed glass and put in a cat door......SO one Saturday the parents of the kids gathered on their side around the lawn and were angry about all the cat crap....so they standing around talking, and the pet owners got on OUR side of the street....I set on the front stoop just watching, as some of the kid's parents looking like they wanted a brawl..... The couple next door let their cat out as per usual, cat bolts out from our crowd, as if on cue/well trained/fat chance, runs directly across the street, straight up the middle of the disputed lawn, stops and lays a large turd, and takes off for the tree line in back.......right in front of everyone, it was SO krazy WE pet owners just cracked up laughing, and even 1/2 the other side was laughing their asses off too......the 2 guys on the end units were trying to keep straight faces though...which made it even funnier..... |
