'Lacked sympathy': Homeowner fined $1,300 for front yard memorial honoring fallen son

The memorial honored a 2-year-old boy who died in 2022. According to the HOA, a banner of the child's picture violated their rules.SAN ANTONIO — A front yard memorial led to $1,300 in HOA fines. The display, located in a southwest side neighborhood, was an attempt to honor a 2-year-old boy who suffered from a rare condition. Bradley Arguelles passed away in 2022.

“When I leave, I get to see my girls’ faces,” said Ashley. “I get to give them a kiss, I get to see them smile and I get to say ‘Bye’ to them. When I leave, I don’t get to see my son.”Weeks later, Ashley received a violation notice in the mail. The Hunters Pond Village Green Homeowners Association reportedly took issue with a banner tied to a front pillar, saying their rules prohibit front porch extensions. The homeowners were told to take the banner down or risk being fined $50 a day.

“I am an HOA-paying homeowner,” said Ashley, “and you can’t give me five minutes to explain to me why you said my son’s loss wasn’t a loss in order to waive the fees. If losing a child isn’t a hardship, then I want to know what is.”
