Hello, New Year

We’re back from the holiday break feeling refreshed, caffeinated, and ready to roll. Thank you again to everyone who took the community survey. Your feedback is already steering our plans, and we’re excited to start bringing some of those ideas to life as we shape 2026 together.

Hope you found time to recharge and enjoy your favorite people. Here’s to a year full of warm fuzzies, good neighbors, and plenty of reasons to smile.

Quarterly assessment dates

Quarterly assessments for 2026 remain $175. Payments are due on:

• Jan. 1
• Apr. 1
• Jul. 1
• Oct. 1

If you haven’t already submitted your January assessment, please be sure to do so to avoid late fees. You can check your balance or make a payment anytime by logging into your account at home.coherelife.com.

Auto-draft vs. recurring

To help make payments easier and avoid late fees, we encourage residents to enroll in ACH Auto‑Draft. If you’re already using automatic payments, please take a moment to log in to your homeowner portal and confirm that you’re enrolled in Auto‑Draft, versus Recurring Payments, as they work differently.

Auto‑Draft (ACH):

• No processing fees
• Automatically drafts only what is owed
• Adjusts automatically if your balance changes
• Runs on the official assessment schedule

Recurring Payments:

• Includes processing fees
• Charges a fixed amount on a fixed schedule
• Does not adjust if your balance changes
• May result in over‑ or under‑payment

Switching to ACH Auto‑Draft is the easiest way to stay current without extra fees or surprises.

Tennis court gate update

Over the holidays, the tennis court gate had a full signal outage, which meant no one was able to access the courts with their key fob or app. The system depends on a wireless connection from the community center, and every now and then all the wireless activity in the area can interrupt that signal.

The good news: the gate reader is back up and working normally. We’ll keep an eye on how often this happens and look at all the factors involved so we can work toward a long‑term fix. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

Senior Lunch Bunch

Please join the Lake Pointe Seniors as they enjoy a Dutch treat lunch out together at different, local restaurants the second Friday of every other month at 11 am. 

The next gathering will be Friday, Feb 13, at Mangieri's Italian Restaurant, located at 2133 Lohman’s Crossing, Lakeway. 

If you would like to be included in the reservation count or need information, please call or email Sherry Burgeson at 512-751-2525 or sburgeson@austin.rr.com. 

Project season check-in

With the new year here, many of us are ready to freshen up our homes or finally tackle those projects we’ve had on our lists.

If you’re planning any exterior work, remember that you must submit an ACC (Architectural Control Committee) application and receive approval before starting. You can find the form at www.lakepointehoa.org.

Even if your project isn’t specifically listed, you may still need approval. A simple rule of thumb: if it changes the outside of your home, it needs ACC approval. That includes things like adding a walkway, extending your driveway, repainting the exterior, replacing your roof or windows, or removing a tree.

If you’re unsure whether your project needs approval, just send us a note at lakepointe@coherelife.com and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Office closure: MLK Day

I will be out of the office on Friday, Jan. 16, and Monday, Jan. 19 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

It’s a meaningful time to pause and reflect on Dr. King’s vision of hope, unity, and the power of community.
