We represent 108 homeowners in a luxury subdivision near Austin, Texas, in litigation against a developer attempting to enforce deed covenants that mandate membership in a private club. The developer has mismanaged the club while increasing monthly membership dues and initiation fees. This case raises a novel question of Texas law regarding whether developers can impose club membership as a condition of homeownership within a private subdivision.
We are seeking injunctive relief for future membership requirements and a refund of past payments. Recently, we achieved a significant victory by securing a temporary injunction against the developer after a contentious two-day evidentiary hearing. The court found that our clients are likely to succeed on the merits of their case, strengthening our position as we move forward in the litigation.
