Lakeside at Tessera Neighbors and Supporters,
As momentum builds behind our petition for a Texas Attorney General investigation into deceptive trade practices tied to undisclosed HOA costs for public parks and amenities, local involvement remains critical. Council Members Paul Roberts and Shane Saum have already acknowledged our concerns—but real change happens at the local level, and your voice is needed this Thursday, July 17, at the Lago Vista City Council Meeting.
📍 Why It Matters
City Council decisions directly affect our neighborhood, zoning, parkland funding, water systems, and flood mitigation. Tessera was marketed as a private lakeside community, yet we've been left footing the bill for public amenities with little to no transparency. This is our chance to demand accountability and shape future policies.
