What Trinity Heights Homeowner's Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Trinity Heights is a standard single-family homeowner association (HOA) in Fort Worth, Texas — you own your lot and house, and the HOA sets rules on things like landscaping, parking, and exterior changes. This summary is based on partial documents (Management Certificate, Enforcement Guidelines, statutory updates, and Bylaws excerpts); the full Declaration, Design Guidelines, and other governing rules are not included here.

• Enforcement philosophy: The HOA's enforcement guidelines emphasize gentle encouragement and voluntary compliance. The Board prefers informal meetings and written encouragement before any formal enforcement, and aims to avoid litigation except for significant safety or property-value issues.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (including fences, paint, landscaping structures) must be approved by the Trinity Heights Architectural Review Committee (THARC). Denied requests can be appealed to the Board within 10–30 days, and the Board must hold a hearing within 30 days of the appeal.
• Property maintenance standards: Owners must maintain their landscaping (sod, plants, irrigation) and the home's outward appearance (paint, windows, doors, gutters, fences). The self-evaluation checklist provides examples of what is expected, including trimming, mowing, and repairing peeling paint.
• Signs and sales: Garage sales, estate sales, and similar events are prohibited. Political signs are allowed only 90 days before through 10 days after an election. Children may sell non-alcoholic beverages (like lemonade) with the owner's permission. Religious items are allowed on the entry door or door frame, up to 25 square inches total.
• Parking & vehicles: Street parking should be limited to guests and occasional personal vehicle use. Basketball goals must be adjacent to the driveway and behind the front building line.
• Pets: Pets must be restrained and leashed at all times. (No specific limit on number of pets is stated in the provided documents.)
• Transfer fees: The Association charges a $375 transfer fee for property sales; no fee for a resale certificate.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are partial records. The full Declaration, Design Guidelines, and complete rules on assessments, leasing, pet limits, and amenities are not included. Rely on the official governing documents for complete information.
