ATTENTION PECAN LAKES HOMEOWNERS: The Pecan Lakes HOA recognizes a significant safety and liability threat for unaddressed vicious animal issues in our HOA covenants and rules. We have amended the pet restriction rules to prohibit owning of breeds of dogs universally classified as animals with possible vicious behavior. We further placed liability on the owners of these animals. This rule is an action designed for the protection of our property owners and the HOA.
