Heritage Crossing at Delaware Creek

What Heritage Crossing at Delaware Creek's governing documents say

Heritage Crossing at Delaware Creek is a single-family home HOA in Irving, TX. These bylaws are the governance rulebook for the homeowners association itself — they define how the board is elected, how meetings run, and how dues are set — but they do not contain the specific rules about what you can do with your property (like pets, parking, or rental restrictions). Those rules are in the separate Declaration (CC&Rs) and any adopted rules. Living here means you’ll be a member of the HOA, pay assessments, and follow the Declaration and board-adopted rules.

• Membership & Voting: Each owner of a lot is a member and gets one vote per lot. Proxies are allowed for up to 11 months. A quorum for member meetings is set by the Declaration. Absentee and electronic ballots are permitted.
• Board of Directors: The board has 3 to 5 directors, each serving a 2-year term. During the development period, the developer (Declarant) appoints all directors. After that, owners elect directors. Directors must be owners or residents, and cannot have certain felony convictions. Removal requires a member vote (with cause or without cause after development period) or board vote for specific reasons like delinquency.
• Meetings & Notice: An annual member meeting must be held each year. Special meetings can be called by the board or by petition of 1/5 of the votes. Notice must be given 10-60 days before. Board meetings are open to members (with limited exceptions) and must be held in Dallas County or an adjacent county.
• Assessments & Owner Obligations: All owners must pay assessments and fees set by the board in accordance with the Declaration. The board can suspend access to common areas for nonpayment or rule infractions. Owners must comply strictly with the Declaration.
• Amendments: During the development period, the bylaws can only be amended with Declarant's written consent. After the development period ends, amendments require a 2/3 vote of members present at a meeting where notice of the amendment was given.
• What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws do not list specific property-use restrictions — such as pet limits, leasing rules, architectural approval, parking, or landscaping standards. Those are found in the Declaration (CC&Rs) and any separately adopted rules and regulations.
