What Gates of Prestonwood Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a partial set of governing documents for the Gates of Prestonwood Homeowners Association, a standard single-family HOA in Carrollton, TX. The documents include a Fine & Enforcement Policy, a Perimeter Retaining Wall Policy, and the Association's Bylaws. They supplement the main Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, which is not included here.

• Fines & enforcement: The Association may fine owners for violations (e.g., unsightly conditions, unauthorized construction, landscape issues). Fines start at $25, with escalating amounts for continuing violations (e.g., $10/day). Before fining, owners generally receive a written notice and have a right to a hearing if they request it within 30 days. Fines cannot be foreclosed upon if the debt consists solely of fines.
• Perimeter retaining walls: Owners whose lots include a portion of the community's perimeter retaining wall (stone) or screening wall (brick) are responsible for maintaining and repairing that portion. Any modifications require approval from both the City of Carrollton and the Association.
• Membership & voting: There are three classes of members: Class A (owners with built homes, 1 vote per lot), Class B (owners who haven't built, non-voting), and Class C (declarant, 15 votes per lot owned). Quorum for most actions is 30% of votes; 60% for certain actions (like amendment of Declaration). Majority vote decides most matters unless otherwise required.
• Board of directors & meetings: The Board has 4 directors, each serving 2-year terms. Directors need not be members. Annual member meetings are the second Tuesday of September. Special meetings can be called by the president, board, or 20% of members. Board meetings require a majority quorum.
• Officers & committees: Officers (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer) are elected annually by the board. The board may create committees with specified authority; most committee members must be directors if authority is delegated.
• What this document doesn't cover: The main Declaration (containing use restrictions, assessment details, architectural guidelines, and other core rules) is not included. Rentals, pets, parking, and other common HOA rules are absent from this excerpt.
