Bent Tree Village No. 3 Homeowners Association

What Bent Tree Village No. 3 Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a partial document — the Third Amendment to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Bent Tree Village No. 3, a standard single-family homeowners association in Dallas, TX. It modifies the existing rules but does not contain the full set of community regulations. This amendment applies to all lot owners and their tenants.

• Maintenance obligations for lots: Owners must keep their lots well-maintained (lawn mowing, pruning, watering, painting, etc.) at their own cost. If they fail, the association may enter, perform the work, and charge the owner; the cost becomes a lien on the property.
• Enforcement & fines: The association follows a structured process: first notice, second notice, then third notice with a right to a hearing. Fines cannot exceed $250 per violation; continuing violations may be subject to additional fines. The board may also suspend common area use, file suit, or correct the violation and charge the owner.
• Amendment procedure: The declaration may be amended by 70% of member consent during the first 35 years, and by 55% thereafter. Any legal challenge to an amendment must be brought within one year of recording.
• Foreclosure upon assessment default: If an owner defaults on assessments, after recording a notice of lien following a 40-day period, the association may foreclose under Texas Property Code Section 51.002.
• Architectural control: The Board of Directors has the power to fill vacancies on the Architectural Control Committee, change its membership, or withdraw/add to its powers.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is an amendment only. It does not include the full declaration's rules on leasing, pets, ages, parking, or other typical HOA restrictions. Those would be found in the original declaration and any prior amendments.
