Neighborhood Hoa Requiring Code Access To Leave Neighborhood

Card image cap

Location: Texas

We live in Texas in a gated neighborhood that has an HOA. They have recently installed a new system on our gates that requires a sticker on the vehicle and or/code not only to enter the neighborhood but to LEAVE the neighborhood.

To further explain just as it is common practice to enter a neighborhood with a code (or in our case, we also have Vehicle stickers in which a scanner reads) in order to open the entry gates; we must also have the sticker and door code to leave.

In a strange twist of fate we can swipe in a certain page in an app on our phone to allow access into the Neighbourhood, we cannot swipe to let someone (our selves or our guests) leave.

As a neighborhood, we are baffled about the legalities of this as well as the safety measures that will arise of being able to leave our neighborhood.

I feel this is so rare that this perhaps is a reason why I’m struggling to even find the legalities of this online. I would love some help on anything pointing to laws that would prevent this.

Thank you so much.
