Over the last several days, I have been researching and talking to officials about the use of guns in a subdivision within the unincorporated areas of Polk County Texas, like Holiday Lake Estates.\u00a0 I found out several things, from various sources:<\/p>\n

Deed Restrictions for HLE – ALL Sections: <\/strong>“No hunting or shooting of firearms shall be permitted in the Subdivision.”\u00a0 Note:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is in the area of the HLE Deed Restrictions that say – “the following reservations, restrictions, covenants and easements to apply uniformly on the use, occupancy and conveyance of all lots in said Subdivision<\/strong>“.\u00a0 Note:<\/strong>\u00a0 Per Texas state law, Deed Restrictions ‘run with the land’.<\/p>\n

Texas State Law: <\/strong> Link to firearms law from the state of Texas for unincorporated areas: –> Click Here<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Since I could find nothing specific on County websites, I asked Ken Hambrick and he advised me to talk to the Polk County Sheriff about this.\u00a0 I did that on 9\/26\/2016 and I was told several things, by a representative there.\u00a0 First, there are state laws for ‘disorderly conduct’ that would apply – –> Click Here<\/a><\/strong>. Read Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT, items 4 through 9. Then, he told me to review the Texas Penal Code<\/strong> for ‘deadly conduct’, which led me to this info –\u00a0 –> Click Here<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Note:<\/strong> Further info below<\/p>\n

Polk County Justice Court, Precinct 1:<\/strong> My next step was to go to Judge Longino’s office. (Note:<\/strong> Further info below).\u00a0 I asked if the normal Justice Court forms and procedures for Deed Restriction violations could be used if the Deed Restrictions were not being enforced by the POA Board.\u00a0 I was told that they could be used.\u00a0 Links to these procedures\u00a0 – –> Click Here<\/a><\/strong> and Fees –> Click Here<\/strong><\/a> and Forms –> Click Here<\/strong><\/a> .<\/p>\n

Further Info:<\/strong>\u00a0 First, I use clickable links to laws, documents, etc., because these laws or documents could change in the future.\u00a0 I leave it up to you to click on the link and read the data within it, knowing it will be the most current info.<\/p>\n

When I discussed the incident that started my research on this, the the representative of the Polk County Sheriff explained the safety considerations that apply to the use of guns in subdivisions. It seems that in the unincorporated areas of Polk County, some state laws do not apply but others do.\u00a0 He told me that, at the very least, disorderly conduct and deadly conduct laws applied.\u00a0 The Sheriff, when called on these matters, looks at how and where the shooting occurred, such as – did the bullet go across a property boundary, public road, public location, etc..\u00a0 In those circumstances, they would take action.<\/p>\n

Most properties within HLE are not large enough to allow for a bullet not to go across these boundaries.\u00a0 But, he did say that if someone has set up a device that could stop the bullet from going across a property line (ie: berm, bullet trap, shoot toward ground, etc.), they would not take action.\u00a0 In that situation, he warned that if for some reason, the target was not hit, or the bullet ricocheted off the ‘trap’, and hit a person, building, etc, the Sheriff would get involved.\u00a0 If you are in doubt, calling the Sheriff is a prudent thing to do.<\/p>\n

On A Personal Note: <\/strong>Please do not misinterpret what I am saying here as a my own personal beliefs about my interactions with my neighbors or their use of firearms. In this particular situation that led me to do further research, there were some concerns about human and animal safety.\u00a0 It was said that dogs were being shot at, from a road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
