Religious Displays (Texas Property Code Section 202.018)
Associations can no longer adopt or enforce restrictions that prohibit religious displays on an owner’s private property or dwelling, regardless of how many there are, how large they are, what they are made of, whether they alter the entry door or door frame, or where they are located.
However, associations can still prohibit religious displays that:
- Threaten public health or safety
- Are attached to traffic control devices, streetlamps, fire hydrants, or utility signs, poles, or fixtures
- Violate a law other than a law prohibiting the display of religious speech
- Are patently offensive to passersby for reasons other than religious content
- Are installed on HOA owned, HOA maintained, or commonly owned property
- Violate a building line, right-of-way, setback, or easement
