HOA approval for permanent lighting
What most HOAs want to see, what is in our free approval packet, and how the process works.
Permanent lighting changes the outside of your house, so if you live in an HOA community, plan on getting it approved first. Most master-planned communities want to see the product before they say yes. Check your HOA's deed restrictions or architectural guidelines for how to apply.
We make that part easy: every Texas Beam design comes with an HOA approval packet, at no charge.
What is in the Texas Beam HOA packet
- Product spec sheet: what the track and LEDs are and how they mount.
- Day and night renders of your house: what the street sees at 2 p.m. and after dark.
- Track color match: the track is painted to match your trim.
- Placement plan: exactly where the track runs on your roofline.
- Everyday mode: a calm 2700K warm white for normal nights.
Prepared free with every Texas Beam design.

Will it be bright colors every night? No. The everyday mode is a calm warm white. Colors are a scene you choose.
Will wires show? No. The wiring is hidden and the system runs from one power point.
