HOA Rivers Edge

What HOA Rivers Edge's governing documents say

This is a set of By-Laws for the HOA of River's Edge, a standard single-family homeowners association in Hackberry, TX. The By-Laws govern the internal operations of the association—how the board is elected, how meetings are run, how budgets and assessments are set, and how rules are enforced. Individual owner restrictions (like pet limits, leasing, or architectural standards) are in the separate Declaration not provided here.

• Community type & governance: River's Edge is a planned unit development (single-family lots) governed by a homeowners association. The By-Laws describe a standard HOA with member-owners voting per lot, initially under developer control (Class B membership) which terminated by 2012. Owners now elect the board of directors.
• Who is bound: The By-Laws bind the association and its members—each lot owner. The rules apply to owners, residents, guests, and invitees. Occupants who violate rules may be fined, with the owner ultimately responsible if the occupant does not pay.
• Board of directors & meetings: The board has 3–7 directors, elected by owners after developer control ends. Regular board meetings occur at least quarterly. All board meetings are open to members, but attendees may not speak without permission. Owners can call special meetings with a petition signed by owners representing at least 51% of Class A votes.
• Assessments & budgets: The board adopts an annual budget at least 30 days before the fiscal year, which determines each owner's share of common expenses. The board may levy general and special assessments. Reserves may be established. The board can borrow money for capital improvements with owner approval (67% vote) if borrowing exceeds 10% of budgeted expenses.
• Enforcement & fines: The board or a covenants committee can impose sanctions for violations, including monetary fines (which become a lien on the lot), suspension of amenity use, or filing liens. Due process requires written notice by certified mail, an opportunity for a hearing, and a right to appeal to the board. Fines can recur daily for continuing violations.
• Architectural control & committees: After developer control ends, the full board acts as the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) unless a separate committee is appointed. The board may also appoint a covenants committee to hear violation disputes. Committee members must be eligible owners or residents.
• What this document doesn't cover: The By-Laws do not contain specific use restrictions, such as pet limits, leasing minimums, parking rules, age restrictions, or architectural standards. Those are in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for River's Edge, which is referenced but not included here.
