About PHARA

The Paradise Hills Area Residents Association (PHARA) is a State of Texas non-profit corporation chartered in 1997, registered as a Federal 501(c)(7) social organization.

Membership in PHARA is voluntary. Annual dues are $75 with a one-time initiation fee of $25. Please contact us at PHARA.board@gmail.com for information on joining PHARA.

Renewing members may pay annual dues at the annual meeting, via Zelle to PHARA.board@gmail.com, or by sending a check to PHARA, PO Box 2225, Wimberley, TX 78676.

PHARA does not issue “resale certificates,” since we are not a mandatory HOA.

QUALIFYING MEMBERSHIP AREA (from Articles of Incorporation)

All property in any part of the area which is reached principally by driving past the “Paradise Hills” sign located at the intersection of Climbing Way and Brinkley Drive (CR 330) in Wimberley, Hays County, Texas. Although this area is commonly referred to as Paradise Hills, the area includes but is not limited to Paradise Hills Sections I, ll, lll, lV, and other tracts and acreage that have frontage on the county roads and private roads beyond the aforementioned beginning location.

MISSION STATEMENT (from Bylaws)

PHARA seeks to unite area residents/owners through various social activities and to provide a forum for members to raise and discuss issues and concerns that affect the entire geographical area. Residents/owners, including those in adjacent areas, who share a common interest with Paradise Hills, and whose interest may be served by participating in the affairs of this Association are invited to join. PHARA is dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of Paradise Valley Park.

RIVER PARK ACCESS

Please note that membership in PHARA does not constitute right of access to the river park. By recorded warranty deed, access eligibility is only extended to property owners within the original 303.88 acre Brinkley Tract.

Many properties within the Paradise Hills area fall outside the Brinkley tract, if in doubt, please contact a board member for assistance in determining eligibility.
