20 Years

Where were you at 20?

As we reflect on our 20th Anniversary, we can’t help but wonder: Where were you at 20? Were you in college or in uniform? Were you starting a career or starting a band? Were you living with your parents or were you already a parent yourself?

We’ve grown so much over the past two decades, and though we’ve emerged from our teens a little wiser there is still much to learn in the years ahead. Send us the story of your 20th year and it may run in the April issue of Sun Rays. Photographs are highly encouraged. The deadline is Monday, February 29, so don’t wait! Send your story to [email protected] today!

  Friendly Reminders

   Submitted by Jim Romine, Executive Director,
   [email protected]

​1. As we get in the thick of the political arena and begin seeing political signs in our neighbor’s yards, please be mindful and respectful of their rights to have these signs. Unfortunately we are already receiving calls on vandalism of these signs which is a criminal offense. Our community is better than that and please be respectful of your neighbor’s political views. If vandalism occurs to your political sign(s), please let me know. Click here to view our Political Sign Policy.

2. Slow Moving Vehicles - Please remember, when traveling in Sun City Texas in your golf cart or automobile, to try and stay to the right to allow vehicles that are traveling faster to get past you.

imgPlease Recycle Your Political Signs!

Submitted by Jim Romine, Executive Director, [email protected]

To provide a location and to assist in the recycling of used political signs, trailers will be placed in the Legacy Hills Park Pavilion and the Cowan Creek Amenity Center parking lots to collect used political signs. These trailers will be available from March 2 through March 6. Signs will be returned to respective officeholders and/or candidates who request them for future use. Signs not claimed will be recycled.

Please note, do not recycle candidate signs who are in a May 16th runoff election. Two local races, in genera,l may have runoff's: Sheriff and County Court at Law. Trailers will be placed at the same locations May 16th for collection of those signs.

img   February Watering

    Keep an eye on the weather this weekend!

    Submitted by Carlton Mathis, Common Area and Irrigation
    Superintendent, [email protected]


Rain chances go up Sunday into Monday. I’ll continue to do my dance. Soil moisture depletion continues to hover around 1/10 of an inch per day in full sun areas. Setting the irrigation controllers to a one-day-a-week watering schedule, or simply adjusting the water budget between 25-50%, would compensate for this. Watering any more could lead to fungus and molds in the landscape with the cooler temperatures. If we do get the blessed sky water this weekend, it would be a good opportunity to verify that rain sensors are functioning properly.

The Water Matters Team is available to help familiarize you with your irrigation system. If you need help setting up your controller, or would like a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation system, send an email to [email protected] , or contact your Neighborhood Representative. A Water Matters Ambassador will come to your home to assist you.
