Bear Creek Ranch HOA

What Bear Creek Ranch HOA's governing documents say

Bear Creek Ranch is a single-family, detached home HOA in Parker County, Texas. These are the Association's Bylaws — a governance document that sets rules for the Board of Directors, member meetings, voting, and officers. It does not contain typical homeowner rules like pet limits, leasing restrictions, or architectural standards; those would be in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (the 'Protective Covenants').

• Board of Directors: The Board has 3 to 5 directors, each serving staggered 3-year terms (initial terms of 1, 2, and 3 years). Directors are elected by members at the Annual Meeting. Vacancies are filled by remaining directors. A director can be removed with or without cause by a 67% vote of members present at a meeting.
• Membership & Voting: Every lot owner is a member with one vote per lot (co-owners share one vote, entity-owned lots vote via an authorized representative). During the Declarant Control Period, the Declarant (Class A member) has 10 votes per lot and must approve all decisions. A quorum is 10% of members present in person or by proxy. Votes on board elections, assessment increases, and dedicatory instrument amendments require written ballots.
• Meetings: Annual Meeting is held in February or March. Special meetings can be called by the Board or by petition of 20% of members. Board meetings must be held at least quarterly and are open to owners, except when the Board adjourns to executive session for personnel, litigation, enforcement, or privacy matters. Members may participate by telephone or online.
• Officers: Principal officers are President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, elected annually by the Board. The President and Secretary must be directors. Co-owners of a single lot cannot both serve as officers or as officer and director simultaneously.
• Fines & Delinquencies: The Board may levy fines per Section 6.5 (not provided here) and charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts, up to 18% per year or the state maximum.
• What this document doesn't cover: These Bylaws do not address day-to-day homeowner rules such as pet limits, leasing minimums, architectural review, parking, or age restrictions. Those details would be in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and any adopted Rules & Regulations.
