Abby Burleson

What Abby Burleson's governing documents say

Abby Burleson is a master-planned, mixed-use community in Burleson, TX, governed by a homeowners association. This document is the association's bylaws — it outlines how the board is elected and operates, how meetings are run, and how rules are enforced. The actual day-to-day rules (pets, rentals, parking, etc.) are in a separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, which is not included here.

• Board of directors: The board has 4–6 directors serving two-year terms. Directors must be members (lot owners), their spouses, or residents. A director cannot be elected if assessments are over 30 days delinquent. Directors can be removed by members with a two-thirds vote, or by the board for specific reasons like delinquency, missed meetings, or felony conviction.
• Meetings & voting: An annual meeting must be held in the second calendar quarter. Special meetings can be called by the board or by owners holding at least 20% of lots. Notice is required 10–60 days in advance. Members can vote in person or by proxy; proxies expire after 11 months unless stated otherwise. A majority of votes cast at a meeting with a quorum binds all members.
• Enforcement & fines: Before fining an owner, suspending common-area use, or filing suit (other than for assessment collection), the association must give written notice and an opportunity for a hearing. Fines must be reasonable and cannot be foreclosed upon. The board can act immediately for obvious violations like illegal parking or repeat violations.
• Owner obligations: Sellers must notify the association of an impending sale, including buyer info and closing date. New owners must provide proof of ownership (e.g., recorded deed) within 30 days. Owners must also provide their mailing address and email.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only the bylaws — the association's operational rules for the board and meetings. It does not contain specific rules about pets, rentals, parking, architectural changes, age restrictions, or assessments. Those rules are in the separate Declaration (CC&Rs), which is not provided here.
