Timber Creek

What Timber Creek's governing documents say

North Timber Creek Estates is a standard single-family home community (30 lots in Block 1) in Briaroaks, TX. This is the Bylaws of the homeowners association, which govern the association's internal operations — not the full set of property use restrictions. The bylaws cover membership, board of directors, meetings, committees, and related governance. Residents should be aware that this document does not contain rules about pets, leasing, parking, or architectural standards; those would be in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs).

• Membership & voting: Two classes of membership: Class A (lot owners, one vote per lot) and Class B (developer, five votes per lot until fewer than 5 lots owned or 3 years pass). Voting is by ballot or voice; proxies allowed for up to 11 months. A member must be in good standing (dues paid, no violations) to vote.
• Board of directors: 3 to 5 directors, each serving staggered 2-year terms. Directors must be Texas residents and members in good standing. Board manages corporation affairs; meetings require a majority quorum. Directors may be removed for good cause by 51% vote of board or members.
• Meetings: Annual members meeting after developer turnover; special meetings called by president, board, or 25% of lots. Quorum is 25% of votes. Notice 10–60 days in advance. Board meetings: annual, regular, special; notice for special meetings at least 14 days. Proxy voting allowed at members meetings.
• Committees: Nominating committee authorized; other committees may be established by board. Committee members serve until successor appointed. Meetings require half of members as quorum; no proxy voting.
• Financial & dues: Board sets annual dues; payable in advance. Fiscal year Jan 1–Dec 31. Treasurer manages funds; checks over $500 need second signature. Board may adopt budgets and assessments as needed.
• Dispute resolution: Members encouraged to resolve disputes through good faith negotiation, then mediation, then binding arbitration (if both parties agree). Board may use corporate funds for mediation/arbitration. Internal disputes about sanctions, suspensions, or expulsions require notice and hearing.
• What this document doesn't cover: The Bylaws do not include specific use restrictions for properties (e.g., pets, leasing, parking, architectural guidelines). Those rules are found in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for the subdivision.
