Pine Valley Listed on The Rip Off Report
It saddens me to say that I received a Google alert last week that Pine Valley was listed on the RipOffReport.Com . I’m not going to go into details about this report as you can read it for yourself. I’m also somewhat limited in what I can say about the RipOffReport.Com as my firm has [...]
Interior Lot Road Conditions
I was emailed this week by an interior lot owner who was appalled by the condition of the road in front of their property. They contacted me questioning the steep HOA dues increases they have faced at Pine Valley. I went over to a few of the roads and snapped some pictures. Here is a [...]
Mount Vernon Optic Herald Covers Pine Valley
In a well balanced article covering the Pine Valley foreclosures, Mount Vernon Optic Herald editor Susan Reeves does a great job of balancing the voices of the Pine Valley Texas HOA foreclosure debate.

Pine Valley Security – Another Condescending Message
In another condescending message from our board of directors, we are told NOT to use the word “security”. Ironically, the Pine Valley bylaws state security as a responsibility of our board. Before our board was hijacked by non-elected board members, we actually appointed an elected board member with the word “security” in their title. Again, [...]

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader
Hot off the Internet, I just received an email from a member where our board’s unofficial director of communications made the following statement about the members in our community: How do you answer someone that can’t grasp the simple relationship between revenues and expenses? Either you must believe in the biblical parable of “The Loaves [...]
Did Our Board Violate The ByLaws?
In my post, “Did You Get The Memo? I’m A Prick” an anonymous commenter pointed out that I erroneously accused the board of directors of saying this. It is true in that a committee member said this. Still, not a single board member stopped or corrected this in public nor did they censure the committee [...]
Positive Note – Excel Association Management
After the Pine Valley POA board of directors called me a prick in a public meeting, they conceded to my attorney’s demands, I was given access to all Pine Valley POA records at the offices of Excel Association Management‘s offices in Plano, TX. I’m writing this post specifically to point out the professionalism with which [...]
Is Pine Valley The New Egypt?
After the launch of this website today, you’d think the Pine Valley board would sense a problem with their membership and open up communications. That isn’t the case, however. After a member asked a basic question about realtor access to the community with the new gate policy, the Pine Valley board of directors blocked their [...]
Pine Valley’s Board Foreclosed On Over Half of Our Members
If you weren’t aware, the board of directors at Pine Valley has been foreclosing on properties for the past two years. Not only have we foreclosed on an alarming number of properties, the Pine Valley board of directors still won’t disclose who is paying the taxes on the real property WE now own. Every lot [...]
