The current guideline concerning placing a Lien against a property for failure to pay dues is to wait till the homeowner owes $360.00. The new Board of Directors feels that this amount is much to high and makes getting caught up to avoid having a Lien placed against a property much more difficult.
It has been decided that a Lien will be placed when $100.00 is owed. This amount is in keeping with our Bylaws Article VII, Section 7.02e, our collection policy (see the Budget section on our website) and Title II, Chapter 209, Section 209.0094 of the Texas Property Code.
All homeowners will receive adequate notification and opportunity to pay the amount due prior to a Lien being placed, in accordance with our Bylaws, Collection Policy and the Texas Property Code.

Hilltop Estates has always had a large number of cars parked in our streets. But it seems that the problem gets just a little bit worse every year. As you all know, in the evening hours its almost impossible to easily get up and down Hilltop Drive because there is only a single lane down the center of the street. The cars also obstructs our ability so see pedestrians, on coming traffic and if your turning on to Hilltop Drive it makes it difficult to see if cars are coming because our view is blocked by the parked cars. We also feel that it is contributing to the deterioration of our streets, as it seems that the vast majority of the pot holes are down the center of the street.
Although we know that many park in the street because they have more cars then driveway, we feel that some of our Homeowners park in the street for convenience. If this is the case please consider parking in your driveway to help ease the congestion in our streets.
Though Hilltop Drive may be one of the worst areas in our development for street parking congestion, it is not the only problem area. Many of our other streets have similar problems. So we ask all of Hilltop Estates to please park in your driveway if you have the room.
We also have the problem of vehicles other then cars being parked in our streets. This is prohibited by Article 5, Section 1(b) of our CC&R’s as well as the City of Balch Springs Ordinances Chapter 78 Article IV Section 78-202. If you have a prohibited vehicle parked in the street, please move it.
