    What Todd said, here is the text of the Texas Statute. “
    Sec. 235.022. AUTHORITY TO REGULATE. To promote the public safety, the commissioners court of a county by order may prohibit or otherwise regulate the discharge of firearms and air guns on lots that are 10 acres or smaller and are located in the unincorporated area of the county in a subdivision.

    Added by Acts 1989, 71st Leg., ch. 1, Sec. 55(a), eff. Aug. 28, 1989. Renumbered from Sec. 240.022 by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1420, Sec. 12.003(9), eff. Sept. 1, 2001.
    Amended by:
    Acts 2013, 83rd Leg., R.S., Ch. 1210 (S.B. 1400), Sec. 3, eff. June 14, 2013”
    And this is the best answer. Bottom line, if you have more than 10 acres, the county cannot regulate the land, only the state. You can shoot on any size land as long as you keep your bullets on your property, and it is not prohibited by any regulation for properties under 10 acres. HOAs are not government agencies and can do whatever they want.
