PARKER COUNTY, Texas — Residents of an upscale subdivision are objecting to what they describe as swinger parties — or sex parties for people living a non-monogamous lifestyle — attended by scores of unknown people at a swank home owned and occupied by an ex-convict.

Velton Ellis, president of Hills of Bear Creek Homeowners Association, Inc., said the weekend parties are causing late-night traffic, noise and other nuisance concerns in the approximately 85-home gated community near Cresson, Texas.

“They are just wearing me out over it,” said Ellis of the residents’ complaints.

The homeowners association Friday filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the property owner, 50-year-old Randy Carter, who served federal prison time in the 1990s for mail fraud convictions relating to illegal insurance schemes.

According to the suit, Carter’s all-night swinger parties are a commercial business in violation of the homeowners association’s covenants and deed conditions restricting property in the Hills of Bear Creek development to single-family homes.

The complaint said the parties, started in October of 2014, start at 8 p.m. and don’t end until 3 a.m. and are advertised on the website swingersclublist.com. It said Carter promotes his home as having a capacity of 600 people, and charges “entrance fees” of $75 per couple, $75 for single men and $20 for single women.

The homeowners association asks the court to award it unspecified damages and attorney fees.

Carter said he’s hosting private parties at his spacious home, and it is not a swingers club. Deed records show he or his wife have owned the property for more than a decade.

“There’s a lot of fictitious and erroneous information that’s been given to you,” said Carter. “We have attorneys on staff, and we will take all legal proceedings,” including attempting to restrain news coverage of his activities.

The site of the parties is a sprawling, one-story brick home in the subdivison. An adjacent fenced lot, lit by portable floodlights at night, holds the party-goers’ cars and trucks.

The venue has a website at naughtyneighbors.club, and advertisements for the parties are listed on swingersclublist.com and SDC.com, where the public can sign up to obtain an invitation. Ellis said the homeowners association has written to Carter about the community’s concerns but he has yet to respond. Residents have also contacted law enforcement officials.

Other swinger party sites in Texas and elsewhere have been shut down for violating zoning regulations within a municipality but Carter’s property is outside city limits.

“I hope he comes to his senses,” said Ellis.

Parker County Attorney John Forrest and Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler confirmed they’ve been approached about the neighborhood’s concerns. A state law allows counties to regulate sexually oriented businesses but Forrest could not say if Carter’s parties were covered by the statute.

The address of the Naughty Neighbors parties is not publicly posted online. But the voicemail connected to a phone number listed on advertisements answers as “Carter and Sons.” An advertisement for the swinger parties said there is no charge for attending, though donations of $40 to $80 are suggested. The websites say the venue does not supply alcohol or condoms but does provide food, drink setups, beds and lockers. One recent afternoon event was advertised as free with the option to buy wristbands for food and drink setups.

“We boast more than 6,000 square feet of house in addition to a 3,500 square-foot disco complete with a staffed bar (BYOB – We don’t sell alcohol), 1,000 square feet of playrooms, shadow box, pole stage, plenty of seating, light shows, and [professional] DJ,” an online promotion states.

The website also notes a nearby hotel offers a discounted rate for those who mention they are attending an event at the host home.

Residents of four nearby homes told the Weatherford Democrat the activity is out of character for the country neighborhood, where many families live in homes valued at $300,000 and up and neighbors often visit each other.
