What Sa Highland Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the bylaws of the SA Highland Estates Homeowners Association, Inc., a Texas non-profit corporation that governs the Highland Estates residential subdivision in Bexar County. The document establishes the rules for how the HOA is run, including membership, board elections, meetings, and enforcement procedures. It is intended for homeowners in the community, as it outlines their rights and obligations regarding HOA governance.

• Membership & voting: Every owner of a lot is a member of the association, with one vote per lot. During the Declarant Control Period, the Declarant and each builder member have five votes per lot. A quorum for member meetings is 10% of eligible votes.
• Board of Directors: The board consists of 3 to 9 directors, initially appointed by the Declarant. After turnover, directors must be members and are elected for staggered three-year terms. Directors can be removed by a majority of members or by the board for specific reasons like missing meetings or being delinquent on assessments.
• Meetings & notice: Annual member meetings are held, and special meetings can be called by the president or by a petition of 25% of members. Written notice must be given 10 to 50 days before a member meeting. Board meetings must be open to members, with notice as required by law.
• Enforcement & fines: Before fining or suspending rights, the association must give written notice by certified mail, describing the violation and allowing a cure period for curable violations. Owners have the right to request a hearing within 30 days, and can appeal a committee decision to the board.
• Financial reports & borrowing: The board must prepare annual financial reports including income statement, cash receipts, variance report, balance sheet, and delinquency report. The board can borrow money for common area maintenance without member approval, but other borrowing requires member approval like a special assessment.
• Declarant's reserved rights: The Declarant retains certain rights under Section 13 of the Declaration, and in case of conflict, the Declaration governs. The Declarant controls the board until turnover, and the association indemnifies the Declarant after the third elected director is in place.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is the bylaws only; it does not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, which contains property use restrictions, assessments, and architectural rules. Those are referenced but not included here.
