What Fw Trinity Grove Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the Bylaws and Policies for FW Trinity Grove Owners Association, a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Fort Worth, TX. It sets up the governance structure, meeting rules, board powers, and administrative policies for the HOA. Actual use restrictions (like leasing, pets, architectural rules) are in a separate Declaration not included here.

• Governance structure: The Association is governed by a Board of Directors. During the Development Period, Declarant (builder) appoints and removes all directors. After that, directors are elected by Owners, with each Lot (except Declarant) getting one vote; Declarant gets 10 votes per Lot. Quorum for member meetings is 20% of total votes.
• Meetings & voting: Annual members meetings are required within 45 days after fiscal year end. Special meetings can be called by the President, Board resolution, or petition of 25% of votes. Proxy voting is allowed (proxy expires after 11 months). Board meetings require notice at least 4 days in advance (7 days by mail).
• Board of Directors: Initial board has 3 directors selected by Declarant. After Development Period, directors are elected for 2-year staggered terms. Removal requires a petition signed by 20% of Members and a majority vote. Directors with 3 consecutive unexcused absences or 60-day assessment delinquency may be removed by board vote. Directors serve without compensation unless approved by members.
• Committees: The Board may create committees by resolution, appointing chairpersons. Committees operate under board-adopted rules.
• Records & inspections: Members can inspect books, records, and minutes with a written request (sent by certified mail). The Association must respond within 10 business days. Inspection is at the principal office. Copying fees: $0.10 per black-and-white page, $0.50 per color page, $18/hour labor, plus postage and other costs. Certain records (violation history, personal financial info) are exempt.
• Enforcement & hearings: Before imposing fines or suspending rights for rule violations, the Board must follow a process: (a) a written demand to cease with a cure period of at least 5 days, (b) a hearing notice sent by certified mail at least 30 days before the hearing, and (c) an executive session hearing where the violator may present their case. Results are minuted.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document (Bylaws and Policies) does not contain the actual use restrictions for the community—such as rental limits, pet rules, architectural controls, parking, or age restrictions. Those are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Design Guidelines, which are not provided here.
