I'm dealing with a situation in Texas and need some guidance.

HOA fining me for political sign. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Not surprised at all tbh.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
