What Garland Spring Creek Estates Homeowners’ Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the bylaws document for Garland Spring Creek Estates Homeowners' Association, Inc., a standard single-family HOA in Garland, TX. It governs how the association is run—meetings, voting, board structure, and finances—and applies to all homeowners in the community.

• Meetings & voting: Annual meetings are held each year, and special meetings can be called by the president, board, or a petition from 10% of members. A quorum is 20% of total votes, and voting can be in person, by proxy, absentee, or electronic ballot.
• Board of directors: The board has 3, 5, or 7 directors, initially appointed by the developer. After the development period, directors are elected by homeowners for 1-year terms (or 2-year terms if the board decides). Directors can be removed by a 40% vote of all members.
• Assessments & finances: Each member must pay annual and special assessments as described in the Declaration, and unpaid assessments become a lien on the property. The board prepares budgets and can borrow money, but borrowing over 10% of budgeted expenses requires member approval.
• Enforcement & violations: The association can impose sanctions for rule violations, but must provide written notice, an opportunity to cure, and a hearing before taking action. The board may also send a courtesy letter at its discretion.
• Amendments: During the development period, the developer can amend the bylaws without member approval. After that, amendments require a 51% vote of all members, unless a specific clause requires a higher percentage.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is only the bylaws—it does not include the actual rules about property use, architectural standards, pets, leasing, or other day-to-day restrictions. Those are in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, which is referenced but not included here.
