UPDATES
Is my wish to have the court to know that S-G Owners Association sent me the assessment for 2018 for the amount of 915.00 of which was paid before the due date.

I FEEL HARRASED BY THE S-G ASSOCIATION AND THEIR ATTORNEYS AND SCARED. Since May of 2015 when I contacted the association to pay my bill that was late three months, the rejected my payment and sent my bill to their Attorney, with all types of fees, my health has been affected in many ways, to the point that I had to seek for professional help. I am a single mother, I go to work every day to provide for my two children with special needs, I don't feel secure in my own house, I noticed a couple times that a guy taking pictures of my house, driving a black truck stops for seconds in front of my property, takes pictures and leave.
THEY CONTINUSLY KEEP SENDING ME LETTERS WITH CHARGES OF ANYTHING, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SHOULD NOT BE CONTACTING WHILE THE CASE IS BEEN HANDLING AT COURT.
The association sent me a bill that WAS PAID ON TIME as they requested, 2018 IS NOT BEEN DICUSED OR IT SHOUL D BE ADDED TO THE CASE.
AGAIN, the S-G Association is rejecting my payments exactly like the beginning of this case; their attorney sent me a letter requesting me to accept back the 2018 payment. Which I didn't accept for the fact that 2018 is should not be part of the case, I received a bill along with an envelope to send the payment, with a due date. Case#01-17-00258-CV
Their attorney said in his letter that they will NOT ACCEPT PARCIAL PAYMENTS, I am not quite sure what do they want; there was not partial payment of 2018 Assessment, I paid it In FULL.
The S-G Association SENT me a letter with a picture of a house that is NOT MY PROPERTY Requesting and giving me 10 days to clean up my the property, THREATING ME TO CHARGE ME100.00 / FEE FOR EA DAY AFTER THE DUE DATE DAY IF I DON'T CLEANED UP
