JellyBird HOA Management has shown a consistent pattern of non‑responsiveness, improper enforcement actions, billing irregularities, and failure to perform basic contracted duties. In my experience, and in many publicly documented reviews, JellyBird routinely ignores homeowner inquiries, board directives, and requests for required documentation. Their communication portal, email, and phone lines frequently go unanswered. JellyBird has issued unauthorized citations without board approval, misrepresented ACC authority, and refused to provide supporting documentation. These actions conflict with governing documents and create confusion and frustration for homeowners. Billing practices are also concerning. Public complaints describe small balances escalating into hundreds of dollars within months, unexplained fees, and refusal to provide transparent accounting. Several reviewers describe JellyBird as a “Do Nothing Management Company,” citing lack of financial reporting, poor recordkeeping, and minimal community oversight. While a few small HOAs report positive experiences with individual coordinators, the broader trend—especially in medium and large communities—is overwhelmingly negative. JellyBird’s operational deficiencies, governance violations, and communication failures present significant risk to HOA compliance, financial transparency, and homeowner trust. Overall: JellyBird may be a low‑cost provider, but the lack of service, accountability, and responsiveness far outweighs any savings. The company’s performance has caused substantial disruption and dissatisfaction within the community.
My experience with Sterling Association Services has been extremely disappointing.
My experience with Sterling Association Services has been extremely disappointing. I have repeatedly raised documented concerns involving HOA enforcement, nuisance complaints, community safety, gate/access issues, and other ongoing association-related matters, yet I have often received dismissive responses, redirection, or little meaningful resolution. What has been especially frustrating is what I perceive as inconsistent enforcement. The HOA has been willing to enforce certain rules against homeowners, while complaints I have submitted about comparable or more serious conduct have not received the same level of attention. I have also raised concerns involving the HOA’s relationship with third-party service providers, including submetering and waste services, where homeowners can be financially affected but may have limited ability to choose alternatives. Homeowners should be able to expect transparent communication, consistent enforcement of governing documents, fair complaint handling, and meaningful accountability from a management company. Based on my experience, Sterling Association Services has fallen far short of those expectations. I would strongly encourage prospective communities and homeowners to carefully review their management practices, complaint procedures, vendor arrangements, and enforcement policies before working with this company.
Power Hungry Egomaniacs.
Power Hungry Egomaniacs. They make up the rules as they go, blatant selective enforcement, no regard to the Open Meetings Act or Texas Property Code. They will lie, cheat and steal to take your land.
Lazy, rude, and no integrity.
Lazy, rude, and no integrity. Poor communication, rude, neighbors displaced for months because of neglected roofs that leak. Reactive management instead of proactive, and are extremely defensive when asked in a meeting. The entire board and management company need to be replaced.
Long-term residents face constantly changing owners, HOA members, and management companies.
Long-term residents face constantly changing owners, HOA members, and management companies. Bickering between HOA members and misalignment with the management company. Poor upkeep of facilities. Poor management of violations, such as cars blocking most streets. General public using the golf course brings all kinds of characters to the course.
Made promises on numerous occasions that they didn’t keep.
Made promises on numerous occasions that they didn’t keep. Isn’t aware of Texas Property Code or doesn’t care to HOA Board that they cannot do what they are doing. Hides behind lawyers when challenged.

Incompetent managers!
Incompetent managers!!! Cam is more concerned with getting their account managers certified with CAI, which is a simple test probably anyone could pass, than training them and making sure they learn the rules of the associations they manage. Padded “admin” fees have increased our annual dues assessments year over year with no benefit to the community. Our manager has likely never looked at our declarations as he sends violations for very odd things, while blatant declaration violations are rampant.

We have made so many advances over the last four months, it is amazing.
We have made so many advances over the last four months, it is amazing. A good proactive, educated and involved board can for sure turn things around. One major achievement is that we have gotten the management company to return late fees that were assessed incorrectly for about 100 members or the last two years.

Trigate Capital is declarant and it is a rental haven for them, they will take your dues and not make repairs. They do not enforce covenants for their properties. It is now a ghetto.

Since 2022 the leaders of the Avondale Owner's Association have not maintained their obligations and duties required to function as a nonprofit organization. The Board members, Property Managers, and volunteer homeowners have imposed criminal actions targeting innocent homeowners. These crimes include theft, personal assaults, property destruction, theft, and trespass. A once peaceful community is now controlled by community crimes and criminals.. Living in fear has become a way of life.
If you want an HOA that treats homeowners like valued members of a community, this is not it.
If you want an HOA that treats homeowners like valued members of a community, this is not it. This HOA charged me late fees and attorney’s fees totaling roughly twice the original assessment — on top of the assessment itself. Let that sink in. A relatively small balance ballooned into something completely disproportionate, not because of communication or cooperation, but because escalation seems to be their default setting. Instead of resolving issues reasonably, they appear eager to weaponize legal fees and penalties. The result? A system that feels less like neighborhood governance and more like a revenue extraction model. An HOA is supposed to maintain property values and foster community trust. What’s happening here erodes both. When penalties outweigh the original obligation by such a margin, it raises serious questions about priorities, transparency, and fairness. If you’re considering buying into this community, read every line of the governing documents. Ask how quickly accounts are turned over to attorneys. Ask how fees compound. Ask what safeguards exist to prevent balances from spiraling out of control. Because once you’re in, you may discover that the real cost of living here isn’t just your assessment — it’s the financial risk of falling even slightly behind. Proceed with caution.
The community is nice to each other even though it is made of renters and owners.
The community is nice to each other even though it is made of renters and owners. There is only 3 board members and one is really active in making everything run smoothly.
