What Dardan Addn's governing documents say

Dardan Addn is a single-family residential subdivision in Arlington (now Haltom City), TX. These restrictive covenants run with the land and are enforceable by any property owner. They regulate land use, construction standards, and maintenance—but do not create a homeowners association or impose regular assessments.

• Property use & restrictions: Each lot is for one single-family detached dwelling only. No mobile homes, temporary structures, or moving existing structures onto a lot. No business or trade is allowed, nor any activity that becomes an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.
• Construction & completion: All structures must be completed within 8 months of starting construction. No occupancy until connected to the city sewage system. New structures only—no relocated buildings.
• Architectural review: Plans, specifications, and a plot plan must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee before any structure is erected, placed, or altered. The committee can waive restrictions on roof type or masonry quantity if the appraised value is not less than a minimum (amount missing in text). Approval is deemed given if not disapproved in 30 days and no lawsuit is filed.
• Minimum house size & exterior materials: The main residence must have a living area of at least ____ square feet (number illegible in document). At least 50% of each wall on the first floor or living area must be masonry, stone, or brick, unless the committee specifically approves otherwise.
• Fences & structures: Boundary fences must be masonry or substantially constructed wood, no more than 8 feet high. No fence may be located nearer the front street than the front wall of the residence.
• Signs: No signs, billboards, or advertising structures except one temporary sign (max 3×5 feet) advertising the sale or rental of the property.
• Pets & animals: No livestock, poultry, or animals of any kind except usual household pets. Pens or coops are also prohibited.
• Yard maintenance & sanitation: Grass, weeds, and vegetation must be kept mowed regularly. If not maintained, the Architectural Control Committee may cut it and bill the owner, creating a lien. Trash must be collected in covered containers and removed by the city garbage service; no burning of trash or dumping on lots.
