Question: What is a Homeowners Association?

It is a non-profit corporation in the State of Texas. It was created to maintain the common properties and to provide services which benefit the Association.

The Association is governed by By-Laws, Articles of Incorporation and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.  The By-Laws dictate the terms, duties, and responsibilities of the Board. The Covenants and Restrictions outline the amount and manner of assessments, and the guidelines for deed restrictions and architectural control.

You become a member and agree to abide by the Restrictions upon purchasing your property within the Association.

Question: What role does the Board serve? 

The Association is governed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is elected by the property owners at the annual meetings. They are responsible for all decisions regarding the operation of the Association. Board members are volunteers, they are not paid and do not receive compensation of any kind.

Question: What role does the Management Company Serve?

The management company is hired by the Board of Directors to oversee the day to day operations of the Association.  Some of the Duties include: Deed restriction violation inspection and enforcement, billing and collection of yearly assessments, assist with preparation of the budget, bill paying, amenity inspection, bid solicitation, maintaining current contracts, documentation and reporting.  The management company is directed by the Board of Directors and works within the guidelines of their contract and the Association documents.

Question: What is the importance of Deed Restriction Enforcement?

Deed restrictions are your first and only line of defense for maintaining property values and the quality of life within your community. Unsightly and poorly kept neighborhoods do not attract homebuyers and that results in lower home prices for everyone.  While it is every resident’s responsibility to enforce the deed restrictions, residents should be aware that the Management Company monitors the subdivision periodically for Deed Restriction violations or needed maintenance.  Please help your homeowner’s association to keep your community a desirable place to live.  Please report all deed restriction violations you see, and/or speak to your neighbor directly in a friendly way regarding the impact their violations have on their property value. 
 

Question: What should I do if I receive a deed restriction violation letter?

 First, don’t panic! The first letter is merely to bring your attention to the possibility of a violation. The wording of the letter is a legal formality that allows the Association to pursue legal action, only if necessary, at a later date. Refer to the Community Charter or Community Guidelines for more information.
