Whitestone Ranch Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Whitestone Ranch Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Whitestone Ranch is a single-family home HOA in Benbrook, TX, divided into Phases 1, 2, and 3. The provided documents are a 2008 amendment transferring control from the developer to homeowners, architectural guidelines for existing homes, articles of incorporation, and an excerpt of the original declaration. These establish the HOA's structure, architectural review process, and common property maintenance obligations.

• Architectural review: All exterior modifications (roofs, paint, fencing, storage buildings, patios, pools, playscapes, solar panels, satellite dishes, driveways, room additions) require prior WRHOA approval. Specific rules: storage buildings limited to 8 ft height and 120 sq ft, no metal buildings; fences max 6 ft (8 ft with permit), no chain link except pet enclosures; above-ground pools prohibited; basketball goals only on driveway with clear plexiglass behind front building line; garage enclosures not permitted.
• Assessments: Annual and special assessments are levied per residence and constitute a lien on the property. Owners must pay assessments timely; delinquency can result in suspension of voting and common property rights.
• Membership & voting: Each residence owner is a Class A member (1 vote per residence). Declarant (developer) held Class B membership (9 votes per lot owned, but at least total Class A votes +1) until the 2008 amendment surrendered control 15 days after recording, converting Class B to Class A.
• Common property & maintenance: The Association maintains common property (landscaping, private drives, sidewalks, fences, streetlights, sprinklers, security gates). Owners have an easement to use common property, subject to Association rules and suspension for violations.
• Declarant rights & transition: The 2008 amendment surrendered Declarant's authority to appoint directors/officers to the Owners, but Declarant retained the right to appoint the Architectural Control Committee for lots it still owned. Declarant also reserved rights to use common area for marketing and to continue mineral operations as stated.
• What this document doesn't cover: These excerpts do not include full details on leasing restrictions, pet limits, vehicle parking, or the complete list of prohibited uses. The original declaration and bylaws should be consulted for those rules.
