Turtle Creek Bend Homeowners Association

What Turtle Creek Bend Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is the declaration for Creek Bend Condominiums, a 26-unit condominium community in Dallas, TX. It establishes the rules for unit owners, covering ownership, use restrictions, and association management. The document is a full rulebook for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (finished surfaces, fixtures, appliances) and an undivided interest in the common elements. You must maintain your unit's interior, patio/balcony, and your own heating/cooling system; the association maintains common areas and carries master insurance.
• Use & occupancy restrictions: Units are for residential use only, occupied by the owner, family, guests, or tenants. No hotel/transient rentals (leases under 30 days) are allowed, and you must lease the entire unit, not just a room. Leases must be in writing and bind the tenant to the rules.
• Pets: Household pets (fish, birds, etc.) are allowed in units, but not in unreasonable quantities (ordinarily more than two pets per household is unreasonable). The association can limit size/weight and prohibit animals that are a nuisance. Pets must be leashed or enclosed when outside.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked only in designated spaces. Inoperable vehicles, large commercial vehicles, and recreational vehicles (campers, boats, trailers) are not allowed on the property. Major vehicle repairs are prohibited in common areas.
• Alterations & approvals: You cannot alter common elements (including limited common elements like patios/balconies) without prior written board approval. Plans must be submitted, and the board has 30 days to respond. You must not impair structural soundness or easements.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies common assessments on all unit owners, paid uniformly and equally per unit. Special assessments for capital improvements or unbudgeted costs require a two-thirds vote of members. Unpaid assessments can lead to suspension of voting rights and use of recreational facilities.
• Rentals & leasing: Leases must be for at least 30 days (no transient/hotel use). You must lease the entire unit, and the lease must be in writing and require the tenant to follow the declaration and bylaws. The owner remains responsible for all obligations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full bylaws, specific assessment amounts, or details on the master association (Faulkner Creek HOA) rules. It also doesn't cover any age restrictions or affordability requirements.
