Bear Creek Ranch 3 HOA, Inc.

What Bear Creek Ranch 3 HOA, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a second amendment to the Residential Design Guidelines for Bear Creek Ranch, a single-family HOA in Aledo, Texas. It updates specific rules about exterior features, flags, pools, solar panels, and other lifestyle items. It is not the full set of community rules, only a partial update.

• Architectural review: Changes to exterior footage rules for 60' and 80' lots, and new rules for specialty roof shingles: they must be approved in writing by the Design Review Committee, and owners are responsible for any repairs or removal if installed without approval.
• Flags & flagpoles: Only U.S., Texas, and military flags are allowed. One flagpole per unit: attached poles max 5 feet, freestanding poles max 20 feet, placed at least 5 feet from property lines. Flags must be maintained, and no flag display is allowed without prior written consent from the Association or Design Review Committee.
• Pools, spas & hot tubs: Spas must be in side or rear yards, screened from view. Pool enclosures visible from streets or common areas must be 6 feet or less in height, black, and transparent mesh in metal frames, unless approved otherwise. The committee cannot prohibit enclosures required by safety laws.
• Solar panels: Solar panels require Design Review Committee approval, cannot be on front elevations, and must meet specific placement and color rules. They must be maintained and removed if non-functioning. Owners are responsible for any damage or warranty issues.
• Weapons & fireworks: Hunting, shooting, and use of weapons or fireworks are prohibited. Violations can result in fines up to $1,000 per occurrence, with a sworn affidavit as sufficient evidence.
• Religious displays: Owners may display religious items motivated by sincere belief, but the Association can remove them if they threaten public safety, violate laws, are offensive for non-religious reasons, are on common property, violate building codes, or are attached to traffic or utility fixtures.
• Fencing: In Phase 3 and future phases, wood fencing may be installed only with prior written approval from the Design Review Committee, and only in certain areas (not on common areas or open space).
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only an amendment to the Design Guidelines; it does not include the full community rules, such as assessments, pet limits, leasing restrictions, or other standard HOA covenants. Those are in the original Declaration and Design Guidelines.
