Somerset Mansfield Homeowner’s Association

What Somerset Mansfield Homeowner’s Association's governing documents say

This is the bylaws document for the Somerset Mansfield Homeowners Association, a Texas property owners association governing a residential subdivision in Johnson and Ellis Counties. It outlines the internal governance structure—board of directors, officers, meetings, voting, and enforcement—rather than the day-to-day rules for homeowners. It applies to all lot owners and residents, who are bound by these bylaws, the Declaration, and other governing documents.

• Board of Directors & Elections: After the developer's control period, the board has five members serving two-year staggered terms, with a limit of two consecutive terms. Directors are elected at annual meetings, and owners can remove directors with a two-thirds vote of those present.
• Meetings & Voting: Annual meetings are held in the first quarter. A quorum is 20% of lots, and each lot has one vote. Owners can vote in person, by proxy, or by absentee/electronic ballot, and delinquent owners cannot be disqualified from voting.
• Rules & Enforcement: The board can adopt, amend, or terminate rules with at least 10 days' notice to owners. Before imposing fines or taking certain enforcement actions, the association must provide notice and an opportunity for a hearing.
• Owner Obligations: Owners must comply with the governing documents, provide notice of sale, and keep their contact information current. The association can impose fines and seek reimbursement of legal fees for violations.
• Association Records & Resale Certificates: Owners have the right to inspect association records, and the association provides resale certificates and management certificates as required by law.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is the bylaws, not the full set of community rules. It does not contain specific restrictions on pets, leasing, architectural changes, or other day-to-day use rules—those are in the Declaration and other recorded documents.
