Wellington Homeowners Association

What Wellington Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Wellington Run is a single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Garland, Texas. These bylaws govern how the association is run, including board elections, meetings, fines, and owner obligations. This document is the rulebook for the HOA, not the full declaration of covenants, so it focuses on governance rather than property-use restrictions.

• Who runs the HOA: A five-member board of directors, elected by owners, manages the association. Directors serve two-year staggered terms, and at least a majority must be owners or their spouses.
• Meetings & voting: An annual meeting is held in October, and special meetings can be called by the board or by a petition of at least 20% of lots. A quorum is 20% of lots, and each lot has one vote, with proxies allowed.
• Fines & enforcement: The board can fine owners for rule violations, but only after written notice and a hearing. Fines must be reasonable, cannot accrue interest, and cannot be the sole basis for foreclosing a lien.
• Owner obligations: Owners must pay assessments, comply with all governing documents, and notify the HOA before selling (at least 10 business days before closing). They must also keep their contact and mortgagee information current.
• Rules & amendments: The board can adopt and amend rules with 10 days' notice to owners. Bylaws themselves can be amended by a majority vote at a meeting with a quorum, but certain changes require broader approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the bylaws only; it does not include the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions, which contains property-use rules (e.g., architectural standards, leasing limits, pet rules). Those are in a separate document.
