Rockwood

What Rockwood's governing documents say

Rockwood is a single-family subdivision (Rockwood Terrace/Rockwood Addition) in Mansfield, TX. The provided documents are not a full HOA rulebook; they consist of a 1945 waiver for a specific church building (referencing a 1941 dedication with building restrictions and an architectural review committee) and several modern lot-specific Declarations that impose only a 15-year binding arbitration requirement on future owners/occupiers.

• Architectural review (original 1941 dedication, referenced but not fully provided): The 1941 dedication for Rockwood Terrace, First Filing, required approval of building plans by a committee for conformity and harmony of external design, and for location with respect to topography and finished ground elevation. The 1945 waiver only released Lots 10-14 & part of Lot 16, Block 5 from these restrictions to allow a church; all other lots remain subject to the original dedication (the full text of which is not included here).
• Arbitration requirement (lot-specific modern declarations): For each lot sold by DFH Coventry, a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants was recorded requiring that any claim or controversy arising from the purchase contract, construction, or the property be settled by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. This covenant runs with the land for 15 years from the closing date and binds all future owners and occupiers.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are partial, ancillary documents. There is no complete set of HOA bylaws, rules, or master covenants for the entire Rockwood community. Topics like assessments, insurance, leasing, pets, parking, or amenities are not addressed. The full 1941 dedication and any subsequent amendments would need to be reviewed for complete restrictions.
