Villas at Emerald Park Home

What Villas at Emerald Park Home's governing documents say

This is the Bylaws of the Villas at Emerald Park Homeowner's Association, a Texas nonprofit corporation governing this planned community of single-family homes in Irving, TX. It defines how the HOA is run — board elections, member meetings, voting, and enforcement procedures. It does NOT contain the specific use restrictions (like pets, rentals, or architectural rules) that are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions.

• Board structure & elections: The Board has 3–5 directors. After the development period, directors must be members or residents; no one delinquent on assessments or with uncured violations can serve. Directors are elected annually; self-nominations must be submitted 45 days before the annual meeting. Vacancies are filled by the remaining directors.
• Member meetings & voting: Annual meetings occur 100–250 days after the fiscal year. Quorum is 30% of votes; if not met, an adjourned meeting requires 3/4 of that (22.5%). Proxies are valid for 11 months. A special meeting can be called by petition of 1/5 of votes. Owners of jointly owned lots must designate one voting representative, except spouses.
• Assessments & fees: The Board may fix, levy, and collect annual assessments, and impose special assessments, as permitted by the Declaration. Owners must pay to be in good standing and vote. Delinquency can lead to suspension of common area use and lien foreclosure.
• Rules & enforcement: The Board may adopt rules for administration, maintenance, and resident welfare, with at least 10 days' notice before effective date. Before imposing fines or suspending common area use, the Association must give written notice and an opportunity for a hearing within 30 days of the notice. Fines, suspension, and damage charges require due process; collection of delinquent assessments does not.
• Amendments: During the development period, only the Declarant can amend the Bylaws. Afterward, amendments require a supermajority vote at a meeting where a quorum is present, with the proposed change in the meeting notice.
• What this document doesn't cover: These Bylaws do not contain specific use restrictions such as pet limits, lease terms, rental minimums, age restrictions, or architectural review requirements. Those rules are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions.
