What Old Coppell Townhomes Home's governing documents say

Old Coppell Townhomes is a townhome community in Coppell, TX where you own your lot and home in fee simple; the Homeowners Association maintains common areas (entry landscaping, monument, recreation areas, and streets designated as common area) and enforces the rules. This document—the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, as amended—lays out what residents must follow; it applies to all owners, residents, and their tenants.

• What you own & maintain: You own the land (lot) and the residence (townhome) on it. You must maintain your lot and home in good repair, including painting and structural upkeep. The Association maintains common areas such as the entry monument, landscaping, recreation building/pool, and certain street rights-of-way, but you are responsible for your own unit.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Each residence must have at least 1,300 square feet of heated/air-conditioned floor area (excluding garages, porches, etc.) and a two-car garage. No businesses, open fires, exterior storage (without approval), or oil/mineral drilling are allowed. Garage doors must be kept closed except when entering/exiting.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, sign, or exterior alteration (including landscaping changes) may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (or later the Board). Approval is based on harmony with surroundings, completeness of plans, and compliance with covenants and city codes. Decisions must be made within 30 days or approval is deemed given.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles may be parked only in the garage or garage apron on your lot, or in designated areas. Buses, vans, or trucks over ¾-ton capacity or designed for commercial use are prohibited without Board approval. No unregistered, abandoned, or inoperable vehicles may be stored on the lot. On-street parking on common-area streets is subject to Association rules.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire lot and residence (no partial leases), but any lease must comply with all provisions of the Declaration. There is no minimum lease term stated in this document, but the lease must be for all (not less than all) of the lot.
• Assessments: The Association levies annual assessments (initially anticipated at $50/month per lot) to cover common area maintenance, insurance, utilities, reserves, and administration. Special assessments may also be imposed. Assessments are due on January 1 (or monthly/quarterly if the Board chooses) and are secured by a lien on your property. Delinquent assessments accrue 10% annual interest plus collection costs.
• Maintenance obligations: If your lot falls into disrepair, presents a nuisance, or detracts from the neighborhood, the Board can require corrective action within 10 days. If you fail to act, the Association may make repairs and bill you; unpaid costs become a lien (Maintenance Lien) on your lot, subject to foreclosure.
• Pet restrictions: The document does not mention any specific pet restrictions. However, the Board may adopt rules regarding pets as part of its general rulemaking authority. (No explicit limit or prohibition is stated in this Declaration.)
