Bowie House Master Condominium Community, Inc.

What Bowie House Master Condominium Community, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a community manual for Bowie House Master Condominiums, a master-planned condominium community in Fort Worth, TX. It contains the governing documents for the master association, including its certificate of formation, bylaws, and assessment collection policy. It is intended for unit owners, prospective buyers, and residents to understand how the community is run and what is expected of them.

• What this document covers: This manual compiles the master association's certificate of formation, bylaws, and assessment collection policy. It does not include the full declaration of condominium regime, which is referenced but not provided here.
• Who runs the community: The community is governed by a board of three directors: one appointed by the owner of the Residential Master Unit and two by the owner of the Hotel Master Unit. The board manages the association's affairs and can adopt rules, subject to the declaration and Texas law.
• Meetings and voting: Annual meetings are held once per year, and special meetings can be called by the board or by owners of at least 60% of units. A quorum requires 60% of units present in person or by proxy. Owners must be current on assessments to vote, and cumulative voting is prohibited.
• Assessments and collection: All owners must pay assessments to cover common expenses. The association can impose late charges, interest, and collection costs for delinquent assessments, and may adopt a collection policy. Unpaid assessments can lead to liens and foreclosure, but fines alone cannot be foreclosed.
• Fines and enforcement: The board can impose reasonable fines for rule violations, but must first give written notice and an opportunity for a hearing. Fines can be periodic for ongoing violations or per occurrence for sporadic ones. The association cannot charge interest on unpaid fines.
• Owner obligations: Owners must provide proof of ownership upon request, maintain a current mailing address with the association, and comply with all governing documents. Failure to comply can result in fines or other enforcement actions.
• Records and inspections: The association must keep records such as meeting minutes, financial books, and owner lists. Owners can inspect and copy these records for a proper purpose, subject to reasonable restrictions. Attorney and accountant files are not subject to inspection.
• What this document doesn't cover: This manual does not include the full declaration of condominium regime, which contains the actual property descriptions, unit boundaries, and specific use restrictions (e.g., leasing, pets, age limits). Those details are in the declaration, which is recorded separately.
