Ridgeview Est HOA

What Ridgeview Est HOA's governing documents say

This is a partial record from Ridgeview Estates HOA, containing a Declaration of Annexation that adds certain lots to the existing subdivision and a specific Restrictive Covenant and Agreement between a homeowner and builder. It does not provide the full community rules; instead, it focuses on the construction contract, dispute resolution, and warranties for a single property.

• Annexation of property: A Declaration of Annexation adds numerous lots (26A, 26B, 27–49, etc.) to the Ridgeview Estates Addition, subjecting them to previously recorded covenants and restrictions. The details of those covenants are not included here.
• Dispute resolution (arbitration): Any dispute between the owner and builder—including contract, warranty, tort, or personal injury claims—must first go through mediation and then binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator can award costs and attorney's fees.
• Warranty and claims: The owner waives any implied warranty of good and workmanlike construction; the only express warranty is the limited warranty referenced in the agreement. The owner must pass a copy of that warranty to any future buyer.
• Mold and biological impurities: The builder disclaims liability for mold, mildew, and other biological impurities, and the owner releases the builder from all related claims, including personal injury. The owner agrees to take maintenance steps to reduce mold growth.
• Repurchase option: If the cost to repair construction defects exceeds 20% of the home's fair market value (excluding the defects), the builder may elect to repurchase the property under Texas Property Code Section 27.004.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document omits typical HOA rules such as pet restrictions, leasing limits, architectural review, or assessments. It only addresses this specific builder transaction and the annexation of additional lots to the subdivision.
