HOA Pool Resurfacing in Travis Ranch, Texas
Rockwall Pool Resurfacing handles HOA pool resurfacing in Travis Ranch, Texas: replastering or refinishing a shared community pool like the resort-style pool on the Travis Ranch HOA's amenity list, which Texas rules treat as a public pool rather than a backyard one. Travis Ranch had 7,324 people in the 2020 Census, up from 2,556 in 2010, a gain of 186.5%, and as an unincorporated census-designated place it gets no yearly Census estimate, so that count is its latest official population.
The HOA describes a master-planned community with views of Lake Ray Hubbard and the Dallas skyline, a splash park, a covered pavilion, a dog park, basketball courts, sports fields and playgrounds, with John M. Lewis Elementary School on site and students going on in the Forney Independent School District; the Census Bureau places all of it in Kaufman County. Whether it's the board's pool or a homeowner's backyard pool, we'll look at the surface and the paperwork the HOA asks for and give a free estimate.

The main pool and the HOA's covenants
The HOA calls its resort-style pool the community's main swimming pool. Homeowners register household members and guests for pool access through the HOA's ACCESS system, and the association has held an adult night there. Under the recorded covenants the Association maintains the Common Area and may charge owners individually for pool or gate keys and fobs, though the covenants don't say in so many words that the pool is Common Area.
Architectural review for backyard pools
Homeowners' own pools fall under the same documents. The covenants say no pool, spa or other water feature may go on a lot without the Architectural Reviewer's prior written approval, and they ban above-ground swimming pools on every lot. The HOA requires an ACC request for any modification, change, repair, replacement, removal or addition to a property or the outside of a home; that wording reaches a backyard pool resurfacing, so the request goes in before the work is scheduled.

(469) 653-0486Texas rules for a pool the neighbourhood shares
The state's public-pool rules leave out backyard pools: the Department of State Health Services defines a residential pool as one for no more than two resident families and their guests, such as a pool serving a single-family home or duplex. A pool run by a property owners association is different. The rules put it in Class C, limited to members and their guests rather than the general public, and that makes it a public pool.
For work on an existing public pool, the state lets a minor addition, alteration, renovation or repair follow the construction standard that was in place when the pool was built. The rules date a pool by the day its building permit was issued or, where no permit was required, by when excavation or electrical service began, whichever came first. The Health and Safety Code adds that a pool which complied with state law on August 31, 2021 may keep being used, maintained and repaired under the law that applied then.

(469) 653-0486Forney Lake water and its pool stages
About 99.9% of Travis Ranch lies in Forney Lake Water Supply Corporation's service area on the Texas Water Development Board's map, and the City of Forney's list of subdivision water suppliers names Forney Lake Water for Travis Ranch. The corporation's 2025 water report describes its supply as surface water bought from the North Texas Municipal Water District's Wylie plant, with an emergency interconnection with the City of Heath.
Its November 2024 drought plan sets the pool rules. In Stage 2, pools, wading pools and Jacuzzi-type pools may be filled, refilled or topped up only on designated watering days, from midnight to 10 a.m. and from 8 p.m. to midnight; in Stage 4, filling, refilling or adding water to them is prohibited. A resurfacing ends with a full refill, so the stage is checked with Forney Lake WSC before the pool is drained.

(469) 653-0486Young homes on deep clay
The 2020 Census counted 2,266 homes in Travis Ranch, against 830 in 2010. In the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey, whose small sample makes the shares rough, 77.7% of homes were built in 2010 or later and 22.3% from 2000 to 2009, the survey found no homes built before 2000, and the median year built is 2015. Nearly all, 98.5%, are single-family detached houses, about 87.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the median owner-occupied home is valued at $345,400.
Houston Black clay covers 89.3% of Travis Ranch on the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service soil map: 60.9% on 0 to 1 percent slopes and 28.4% on 1 to 3 percent slopes, with eroded Altoga silty clay at 5.2%. NRCS rates 93.2% of the mapped land very limited for houses on concrete slabs because it shrinks and swells, a rating made for houses that says nothing about a given pool.

Dates and approvals
The board sets the closing dates for its pool; a homeowner with a backyard pool files the ACC request first.
Check the stage
Forney Lake WSC's drought stage decides when a drained pool can be refilled: Stage 2 limits fills to set hours on watering days, and Stage 4 stops them.
Drain to the rules
Drain water from a public pool leaves under TCEQ or local rules, with no hard connection to a sewer or septic system and an air gap at the outlet.
Sound out and refinish
SGM, the maker of Diamond Brite, has hollow and delaminated old plaster sounded out and removed before a new finish goes on.
Refill and pass the checklist
Fill water comes from a public water system behind a backflow preventer or air gap, and the state's EH-12 checklist looks for chlorine of 1.0 to 8.0 ppm, pH of 7.0 to 7.8 and cyanuric acid of 100 ppm or less.

(469) 653-0486HOA pool questions from Travis Ranch
Who inspects the community pool in unincorporated Travis Ranch?
Travis Ranch has no city government of its own. Texas law lets a county or a city require a permit to operate a public pool, inspect it, charge a reasonable fee and close it for breaking the state pool law or local permit rules, and public-pool safety is shared among the state's Environmental Health Program, local health departments and local code offices. Kaufman County's Development Services department, set up in October 2018, handles most permitting in the county's unincorporated areas, and a county floodplain permit is needed for development on land FEMA maps as floodplain. We found no Kaufman County pool rule on the county pages we read, so the board should ask the County and the state health department what applies before the pool is drained.
Can a Travis Ranch homeowner appeal an ACC denial?
Texas law gives owners that right in a property owners association with more than 40 lots, once the developer no longer controls the architectural committee. The denial has to come in writing, by certified mail, hand delivery or electronic delivery, explain the reason in reasonable detail and the changes that would win approval, and tell the owner they may ask for a hearing within 30 days. The board then holds the hearing within 30 days, with at least 10 days' notice, and may affirm, modify or reverse the committee's decision. Whether the developer still controls the committee is a question for the HOA.
