Fence around the pool

Our neighbor hood has a public pool and my house is next door. The fence separating my property from the pool is in poor shape. In Texas, pools are required to have a fence surrounding it.
Is it the HOA's responsibility to repair the fence?

I think she said it is a neighborhood pool, not a neighbors pool.If it is a neighborhood pool the responsibility for the fence should belog to the HOA

In North Carolina, the community pool is required to be fenced in. Therefore, it's an HOA expense. Your stating that the community pool is already fenced in, that may be a requirement where you are located.

The OP wrote neighbor hood instead of neighborhood and I think that has confused people into thinking he is talking about a neighboring private residence and not the community pool.

Jeff - is the fence that separates your lot from the pool also the fence that surrounds the pool or is it a separate fence for screening?

Could you jump over this fence and be directly in the pool?

Yes

From Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 57:
Sec. 757.003. ENCLOSURE FOR POOL YARD. (a) Except as otherwise provided by Section 757.005, the owner of a multiunit rental complex with a pool or a property owners association that owns, controls, or maintains a pool shall completely enclose the pool yard with a pool yard enclosure.

Suppose a kid breaks through an improperly maintained fence and drowns. The child is now on life support, with significant brain damage. The family sues the HOA.
---Court Scenario---
Plaintiff's attorney, in a motion for summary judgment hearing:
Your Honor, Section 757.003 says the Property Owners' Association "shall completely enclose" the pool yard. What part of this is not clear to the defendant property owners' association

HOA Attorney:
That's right, your honor, it does, and the twenty year old covenants are clear that the POA requires all owners to maintain fences on the property lines. This is how the POA is "completely enclosing" the swimming pool.

Plaintiff's Attorney:
And look at how this worked out. Your Honor, I maintain the covenants conflict with the statute. Texas case law is clear that, in such a conflict, the statute prevails.

I guess we'll see what the OP turns up as far as ownership of the fence is concerned.

The property line fence may be separate from the legally required fence that restricts pool access. Inspectors would approve/deny pool openings based on the safety fence but have no concern for a property line fence. That said, if the fence belongs to the HOA, it should maintain repairs.
