Clause restricts religious displays using the repealed 25-square-inch front-door cap or prohibits religious items in violation of Tex. Prop. Code § 202.018.
Operative Clause · Sec. MANSFIELD CYPRESS CROSSING (Page 12)
“An owner may display or affix on owner's or resident's property or dwelling one or more religious items the display of which is motivated by the owner's or resident's sincere religious belief.”
Why It’s Flagged
Tex. Prop. Code § 202.018 (SB 1588)
Effective September 1, 2021, SB 1588 amended Tex. Prop. Code § 202.018 to expand protection for religious items displayed or affixed on the owner's or resident's property or dwelling (not solely the front entry door) and repealed the former 25-square-inch size limitation.
Covenants restricting religious displays are unenforceable unless the display threatens public health or safety, violates a law other than a prohibition against religious speech, contains patently offensive language/graphics, or is installed on common property.
