William Gammon, a leading figure in the move to make
highly annoying homeowners associations even more powerful and annoying,
has entered a guilty plea to charges of possessing child pornography, the
U.S. Attorney's Office announced today.
Gammon remains free on bond pending sentencing,
which is set for August 22.
Gammon, 49, who has testified before the legislature
on homeowners association issues, was arrested last June. Investigators
found a copious amount of child porn videos on his computer.
At the time of his arrest, Gammon's Web page
highlighted his HOA efforts:
He has authored master deed restrictions for numerous
large residential and commercial developers and builders and has helped
draft proposed legislation beneficial to community associations. Bill
frequently testifies before legislative committees considering laws that
would impact the rights of community associations in the State of Texas
and has helped statewide coalitions of community association attorneys
to oppose suggested legislation which would severely hamper a community
association's ability to operate.
Bill has been representing community associations
for over 15 years and has done extensive litigation and appellate work
in the field. He has litigated a large number of association deed
restriction enforcement cases including architectural, nuisance,
corporate matters, construction, design defect, contract as well as
defamation. He has helped to craft and clarify Texas law applicable to
community associations by successfully prosecuting many significant
cases.
