Kelle’s Texas-Sized Power Trip: Trying to Boot Board Members and Trample on Independence

In a move that smacks more of authoritarian overreach than the independent spirit that defines the Lone Star State, Kelle, the self-proclaimed President of the Camp Branch Acres Property Owners Association, has taken it upon herself to try to force two board members off the board. Yes, you heard that right. In Texas, the land of cowboys, barbecue, and rugged individualism, Kelle is attempting to wield power more fitting for a dystopian novel than a local property association.

A Power Move Gone Too Far

Kelle, who already sees herself as the President rather than just a humble board chairman, has decided that the mere existence of dissent on her board is too much to bear. In her latest act of self-importance, she’s trying to boot two board members. The audacity of this power grab is not only shocking but also illegal. According to a legal opinion issued by Fears Law, the removal of a board member must follow strict protocols, including a formal process that mirrors how the member was elected. But why bother with legalities when you’ve got an ego to satisfy, right Kelle?

It’s almost laughable to think that in a state where the phrase “come and take it” is a rallying cry for freedom, Kelle is trying to “take” seats on the board through sheer force of will. This isn’t the wild west of HOA politics, Kelle—it’s Texas, where people don’t take kindly to someone trampling on their rights.

Pedantic Phil: California Dreaming in Texas

And let’s not forget about Pedantic Phil, who seems to have played a significant role in creating this mess. Fresh off the boat from CommieFornia, Phil is apparently under the impression that Texas should operate just like the liberal utopia he left behind. Instead of respecting the independent spirit of Texas, Phil contributed to the draconian language in the new code of conduct, making it even more oppressive than the original draft.

Phil’s pedantic nature is on full display as he nitpicks every detail and attempts to justify Kelle’s overreach with twisted logic. But this isn’t California, Phil. In Texas, we don’t need someone who hides behind convoluted reasoning to dictate how things should be run. We value common sense, and that’s something you seem to have left back in the Golden State.

Kelly Feral: Rubber-Stamping the Overreach

Adding insult to injury, Kelly Feral, the community’s former paralegal turned board secretary, has given her full support to this farce. During their illegal executive session discussing the code of conduct, Kelly didn’t even bother suggesting any changes. Instead, she rubber-stamped the entire process, showing her complete disregard for transparency and fairness. Of course, Kelly’s role in this is no surprise—after all, this is the same person responsible for the obfuscations within the association’s bookkeeping. She also endorsed her son’s run for the board, knowing full well he didn’t qualify to serve due to his criminal record.

Commentary: Protecting Property Owners’ Rights in Camp Branch Acres

As residents of Camp Branch Acres, it’s crucial to remember the fundamental purpose of a Property Owners Association (POA): to protect your rights, not to trample on them. The Texas Property Code exists to safeguard your interests as property owners, ensuring that you have a voice and that your rights are respected—not to serve as a shield for the association when it oversteps its bounds.

When a POA begins to act like a rogue entity, blatantly flaunting illegal actions and disregarding the rule of law, it is time to take decisive action. Rogue members, those who put their own agendas above the rights of the community, must be removed. The association is not above the law, and it certainly should not be allowed to operate as if it is.

Charlene and Jerry were elected by the property owners—their positions on the board are not privileges granted by Kelle. It is not up to Kelle to decide who gets to serve or to manipulate the board to suit her personal agenda. The power to elect and remove board members lies with the community, as clearly outlined in the Texas Property Code.

If we allow rogue members to continue unchecked, we risk losing the very rights that the POA was created to protect. It’s up to all of us, as property owners, to hold our association accountable and ensure that it operates within the bounds of the law. When the association goes rogue, it’s our responsibility to step up and take back control—because in Texas, we don’t let anyone trample on our rights.
