Let's Tell the HOA to Stop Spending OUR Money on Lawyers to Cover THEIR Tracks and Use It Instead For OUR, Real Needs!

If you haven't ever checked to see what the Peachtree Village HOA is spending OUR money on, then please do so at your earliest opportunity. The reason is because the vast majority of OUR money which we pay in monthly dues is NOT being spent to benefit US, the people who either live in Peachtree Village, or the homeowners who are leasing out their property to 1/4 of all our neighbors, but on 1) covering their tracks for the multiple illegitimate and illegal things THEY have done, 2) on an over-priced "landscaping" company, which is doing nothing more than mowing down crabgrass which, in just another month or two, is going to turn brown in between the many, wide cracks that will be all over our greenbelt and 3) to fund a private company that is expert at monetizing bigotry to their financial advantage!

So, why is it the HOA is spending so much of our hard-earned money (to the tune of $4,275.00, just during the month of May, 2025!) to evade taking responsibility for the bad things they've done? Well, instead of doing the work they said they wanted to do, without compensation, they are continuing to pay Goodwin & Co. to do nothing more than stalk and spy on us, in order to use FEAR to make the people in our community whom they have discriminately targeted to pay fines (which of course, Goodwin & Co. gets a large percentage of to line their pockets more than they already do), resulting in their feeling like the place they lay their heads at night is NOT their HOME!

Another large expense is the legal fees they are paying out of OUR money, to run interference for the "directors" of numerous HOA Boards of the past (4 of whom are on our current Board) so they don't have to answer (not yet anyways) for the many illegitimate and illegal things they did before! They are now obsessively preoccupied with covering their tracks, instead of working for the benefit of the people of our community! For example, they've been paying an attorney who also works for Goodwin & Co. (which is a conflict of interest) to pull every punch he can to impede access to our HOA records [which is the RIGHT of every homeowner according to our HOA's founding documents that specifically say this THREE (3) times]. Why? Well, there are probably a LOT of things they are covering up, which those records would definitively reveal, but here is just one:

It's virtually certain our HOA did not have a real, legitimately-elected Board of Directors for many years, perhaps even for decades, because the annual meetings never had the requisite quorum (the minimum number of members present to do anything legitimately or legally) to elect a Board, but they went ahead and falsely declared, year after year, a Board had been chosen! This means, every decision any of those fake Boards made was illegitimate, and if it was to spend OUR money, then it was a misappropriation of funds, which is a crime under Texas Law!

This has really bad implications for Goodwin & Co. as well, because they directly participated in many of these fake elections over the past 5 or so years, including when the very first Peachtree Village HOA "Board" hired them! To make it worse, that contract was not only an illegal one for having been signed by an illegitimately-elected Board, but since we're talking about a LOT of money here, going to a FOR PROFIT company, made all the more sketchy by using a fake name (Peachtree Village Homeowner's Association) for our HOA!

So, sure, the HOA ought to be very frightened and wondering at every turn when their past is going to catch up with them, as well as Goodwin & Co. should also be for their direct participation in misappropriating our NON-PROFIT, HOA funds, apparently, thinking it was all fine and dandy back when no one was looking!

So, what's the solution? Well, it most certainly is NOT throwing MORE of OUR good money after bad, just for the HOA to keep doing all it can to prevent the truth from landing in front of a criminal court!

Well, this is what your UNION proposes to the HOA--Come clean!!! The more the HOA tries to hide the truth, the harder and more expensive it's going to be, and not just for the all the homeowners and residents of Peachtree Village! Just admit the HOA did a lot of bad things, told a bunch of lies, and wasted so much of our money, but now, the HOA wants to be honest and use our money for our real needs, like fixing all the potholes on our streets and making amends to everyone they offended, harassed and took money from to pay for what the HOA should have.

Of course, Goodwin & Co. would not be happy about their role as an accomplice in all the Peachtree Village HOA's past wrongdoings becoming public knowledge and subjecting them to possible lawsuits and indictments.

But maybe it's not too late for them to, if not come clean, to make amends. They could return every dollar they took from us, plus interest, as part of a settlement. Then, all the money they took from us could be used to help our community to do things like, convert our greenbelt away from the unnatural crabgrass to native plants, to (as noted) fix all of our streets' potholes, to replace the remaining rail-tie retaining walls before they fall down, and to repay, with interest, all the homeowners who had been conned into paying for Common Area repairs, such as, replacing retaining walls.

Coming clean would not be easy but, in the long run, it would definitely be the best thing for the HOA to do! Maybe, all the "directors" who had a hand in these illegitimate and illegal activities could even avoid having nervous breakdowns and begin sleeping peacefully with a clean conscience, assuming of course, they haven't, as one ancient text of wisdom says, "seared their consciences as with a hot iron."
