The records establish a payment described as pool maintenance/repair and negative TDLR search results for the named payee and his assumed-name business. Texas requires licensed personnel for specified public-pool electrical work and certified operational supervision, but the available records do not disclose the work scope, physical performer, subcontractor, license, or exemption. The compliance question remains unresolved pending those records.
Record status
TDLR License Data Searches returned no records for the exact names/ZIP entered; work scopes, performer identities, subcontractor records, and a Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners search remain outstanding.
Read this first. Each step gives a fact the records support, the exact source excerpt, the limitation (what it does not prove), and the record still needed. The detailed tables and analysis below are the technical view.
A payment described as pool maintenance/repair and negative TDLR license searches are documented — but the work scope, performer, and any required license or exemption are unknown.
TDLR license searches for the named payee and his assumed-name business returned 'No Records Found' for the exact names/ZIP on the captured date.
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation License Data Search for “MDZ CONSTRUCTION,” using ZIP code 77362, returned “No Records Found” on the captured date.
LimitA negative search does not exclude a license under another spelling, ZIP, employee, subcontractor, or agency — and does not prove unlicensed or illegal work.
Still neededA Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners search and the identity of who performed the work.
Open source dossierThe 2025 ledger records a payment described as 'pool maintenance/repair' to ▒▒▒▒▒▒.
Disbursement lines record payees, amounts, dates, and memo/description fields. The ledger identifies the accounting system’s record of each payment.
LimitThe description does not state the exact work, the equipment affected, or who physically performed it — so whether any trade license was required cannot be decided.
Still neededItemized invoices, work orders, and the performer's identity.

LimitTexas does not require a general statewide construction-contractor license; a DBA does not establish licensing for regulated electrical or pool work.

Open source dossierWhat the records establish
What remains unproven
The Association ledger reports a $171.40 payment directly to director ▒▒▒▒▒▒ described only as “clubhouse light.” If the underlying work involved installing, replacing, repairing, or reconnecting a hardwired line-voltage fixture or associated electrical components, Texas electrical-licensing requirements may apply unless a documented exemption existed. The ledger does not establish what was purchased, what work occurred, who performed it, whether a licensed contractor or subcontractor was involved, or whether an exemption applied. Those questions remain unresolved pending the original supporting records.
Texas defines electrical work broadly (labor or materials to install, maintain, or extend an electrical wiring system and connected apparatus). A typical clubhouse light is a line-voltage fixture (commonly 120 V), not “high voltage.” Purchasing an ordinary removable bulb does not, by itself, establish regulated electrical work, and purchasing a fixture does not prove the purchaser installed it.
Do not apply the low-voltage landscape-lighting exemption to this transaction. The clubhouse is Association property, not ▒▒▒▒▒▒’s personally owned dwelling, so the homeowner exemption should not be assumed. Texas also recognizes a fact-specific maintenance-work exemption, but it must not be assumed that a sitting director who received a direct payment qualifies as an exempt maintenance employee — the employment relationship, regular duties, scope, and statutory conditions must be established first.
Even if the purchase and work were proper, a direct payment to a sitting director requires clear documentation of its business purpose, whether it was reimbursement or compensation, who authorized it, whether the interested relationship was disclosed, and whether the director abstained from controlling the decision. A director payment is not automatically unlawful.
Each row separates what the ledger establishes from what remains unresolved. “License search result” reflects only the exact name/ZIP queried on the captured date.

Established facts (ledger description, license-search result) are separated from unresolved questions (exact work, performer, subcontractor, applicable license/exemption).
Association accounting records report payments to ▒▒▒▒▒▒ for “pool maintenance/repair.” Texas regulates the Association’s community pool as a Class C public pool, requires certified operational supervision, and requires licensed personnel for specified electrical work. The accounting description does not identify the exact work performed, the equipment affected, the individual who physically performed the work, any subcontractor, or any applicable license or exemption. Compliance therefore cannot be determined from the ledger description alone.
Texas public-pool regulations expressly include pools operated for property-owners associations and require Class C pools to be maintained under the supervision and direction of a properly trained and certified operator.
The electrical system of a pool or spa, and structures in the pool/spa yard, must be installed, maintained, repaired, or replaced by a licensed electrician under the Texas Electrical Safety and Licensing Act. Potentially regulated work includes pool electrical systems, pump/motor connections, underwater lights, GFCI devices, controls, automation, timers, heaters, and yard wiring. Some limited pool-related electrical-device work may fall within a Residential Appliance Installer scope or a manufacturer/dealer exemption; new or upgraded line circuits generally require a licensed electrical contractor with a designated master electrician. The applicable rule cannot be decided until the exact scope and performer are known.
Texas also adopts construction/safety standards for the construction, alteration, renovation, enlargement, and repair of commercial/public pools and spas (suction outlets, drain covers, entrapment prevention, circulation, pumps/motors, filtration, chemical feeders, structural alterations, barriers/enclosures, and safety equipment).
Accounting records show a payment associated with pet-waste stations. This precedes the July 8 minutes and requires reconciliation.
Minutes state the proposal was presented and tabled for the 2026 budget—after the July 7 payment date.

PreviouslyEarlier framing said no Montgomery County MDZ Construction filing was located and that MDZ ownership was entirely unresolved.
CorrectedMontgomery County assumed-name certificate DBA #202200841 (filed March 16, 2022) identifies ▒▒▒▒▒▒ as the individual registrant of MDZ Construction. It does not list ▒▒▒▒▒▒ and does not, by itself, establish joint ownership or unlawful conduct.

CorrectedAdded TDLR negative-search dossiers and a contractor-licensing & pool-regulation finding. A negative TDLR search is expressly NOT treated as proof of unlicensed or illegal work; the compliance question is unresolved pending work scopes, performer identities, subcontractor records, and a plumbing-board search.
