Austin-area neighborhood could be violating federal law by not allowing census workers to visit homes, legal expert says (TX)

A gated community in the Austin area informed residents it would not allow census workers to visit uncounted homes, a potential violation of federal law according to legal experts. An email sent to residents by the management of the Spanish Oaks neighborhood in Bee Cave said: “Per the Association’s solicitation policy in the Governing Documents, the Census Enumerators have not been given access.” (Update: Within an hour of KXAN asking questions on Tuesday, Spanish Oaks advised residents it was reversing its policy on census takers. “After receiving feedback on the previous email regarding community access to census takers, the Association was advised by legal counsel to allow access for 2020 Federal Census Takers,” an email read.)    Read the article………………………………..
