What Eliana Homeowners's governing documents say

This filing establishes Eliana Homeowners Association, Inc., a Texas nonprofit corporation for a single-family home community in Celina, TX. The recorded documents include the Certificate of Formation, Bylaws, and several policies that outline how the association operates and enforces rules, but the full Declaration of Covenants (the actual community rulebook) is not included here.

• Association governance: The association is governed by a Board of Directors. During the development period, directors are selected by the developer (M/I Homes). After the development period, members elect directors; initially, owners elect one-third of the board, transitioning to full election with staggered 2-year terms. Board meetings must be open to members, with at least one quarterly regular meeting.
• Fine and enforcement: Violations are enforced through a progressive fine schedule: 1st notice is a courtesy warning, 2nd notice is a final warning (certified), 3rd notice $25, 4th $50, 5th $75, each subsequent $100. The board may adjust amounts based on severity/frequency. Owners receive a written violation notice and may request a hearing within 30 days; the hearing is before the board or a committee, with a right to appeal to the board.
• Assessment collection: Assessments are due on the first calendar day of each month. A late fee of $10.00 per month may be levied on delinquent amounts, subject to usury limits. The association may accelerate installment payments if an owner defaults.
• Records access: Owners (or their authorized representative) may request access to association books and records by written request. The association must produce copies within 10 business days (or up to 15 if notice given). Costs include labor ($17/hr after 50 pages or if documents in container), copies ($0.10 per page for standard, $0.50 for oversize, plus actual costs for specialty items).
• Records retention: The association retains various records for specified periods: financial records (7 years), owner account records (7 years after leaving), insurance policies (4 years after expiration), reserve studies (life of study + 2 years), legal opinions (permanently). Destruction is allowed after retention expires unless litigation is pending.
• What this document doesn't cover: This filing does not include the actual use restrictions for the community (e.g., architectural guidelines, pet rules, leasing limits, parking, etc.). Those rules are contained in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, which is not provided here.
