I love your story!! Just like you, I keep two illegal hens in my house. My husband think I am crazy! but he loves me and my two hens so he has to put up with them. When I had to get rid of my hens in Jan, I was so sad and depressed. So my sister offered to adopt my two hens but her HOA also...

Quote: I did e-mail a city official who is in charge of annexation, she said all CC&R will still remain even after annexation. I also asked her who will have the authority to enforce CC&R (now is MUD)after city takes over, she hasn't rely yet.

Quote: I have many supports from Austin but I still Need help!! How do I do to make deed restrictions "ruled illegal"? Can I file "selective enforcement of CC&R" based on "discrimation" against MUD? (since I am non-white.....woman.....) Another thing, austin is annexing north austin MUD...

Quote: HI I am happy for you. I am also fighting with my local district utility (werid, right?) their appointed board director is worse than any city councils in the US... Any suggestion?

Quote: sorry about what I said. didn't mean it.... i got a bad news from city of Austin officials... In her e-mail, she said the orginal CC&R is still effective even after City of Austin annex our district. so sad....

Quote: Thanks! I know how most of texans feel about chicken. They think chickens are stupid, dirty and their only purpose for this world is "food". When they see a hispanic person has chicken, they think they just want to use rooster for "cock fighting". When they see asians raise chicken...

Quote: John did tell me his story about his two pet chickens....His new neighborhood wouldn't allow chicken either, I am sure he could feel my pain. I need to thank you and mom'sfoly from Austin, without your advices, I would never go this far to fight for my beloved chickens and ducks!! Read...

mom'sfolly : Cool, I hope he does your story. Good news! John Kelso called and my story will be on Friday's Austin American-statesman. I also checked with city of Austin about annexation, city of Austin is going take over North Austin MUD #1 by 2012. By then, those board members will be...

Quote: John Kelso came to my house this morning and took some pictures of my backyard, plus a short 2 minutes video of me talking about my chickens and ducks. He also took the attonery letter and promised me that he will call them. I hope he will write my story shortly. When I saw him this...

mom'sfolly : Legally, they would be in very big trouble if they refused to let someone in a meeting. Texas has an open meetings law, and you can't keep the public out of something like this. You might be able to get Kelso interested with a fun angle: poultry, pigs and politics, life in an...

Quote: I am a long time Austin American statesman subscriber and a fan of Kelso. We did send an e-mail to Austin American-Statesman but they did not respond. I also wrote a letter to MUD's manager but since I didn't get anyone in Austin to respond last week, I got depressed and didn't send...

mom'sfolly : I just looked at Austin's ETJ stuff, and you are due to be annexed in December of this year. I know twelve months sounds like a long time, but I'm guessing that when Austin annexes the MUD, the MUD board gets dissolved and viola, you get city of Austin rules. I think you should...

What a nice neighborhood that you have there. Our neighborhood was like this before, but now....if those "board members'" expense is out of our property tax, I think we have right to make sure they don't abuse our tax dollars. Beside, we have pay additional "MUD" tax just to get water, plus...

Hi sonoran silkies: I have a copy of CC&R and CC&R is not on line. I read thru the CC&R, they did not mention anything about HOA but they did mention about a 3 members committee and they have right to enforce the CC&R. And three committee members are "selected" by the majority of lot owners...

Thanks everyone. I am glad most people agreed with me regarding to HOA. And for the property value, athomedaddy is living very closed to me (only 2 miles away). Their neighborhood is older but the property value is much higher than mine. Therefore, it's not the chicken who kept the property...

we purchased this house back in 1987 and I don't remember much details. I only remember the reason why we purchased it because our real estate agent re-ensured us there is no HOA in this neighborhood. However, I did look checked on the term of our board members. They are elected by whom I...

that's what my HOA told me....I had to gave away all my hens ...

Oh well, I knew it's my fault and did gave away all my hens and ducks...the reason why I still live here is because my younger daughter is a freshman in high school. Since I just finished my mortgage for this house, I'll move as soon as she graduates. Next time I'll find somewhere don't have...

I studied our CC&R several times and tried to find way to change it. Ours automatically renew every 10 years. The worse thing is, I don't even know where I can go to get allies because Austin is a very liberal and chicken friendly city. I researched on-line and couldn't find any government...
