What Lakehill Residential's governing documents say

Lakehill Residential (Hickory Creek, TX) is a single-family or townhome community governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The documents provided are supplemental certificates and amendments that add specific policies but do not contain the full declaration, bylaws, or most day-to-day rules. These excerpts apply to owners within the Lakehill Residential Association.

• Board meeting attendance: Board meetings are open to members. To attend, notify the board or management at least 48 hours in advance (seating may be limited). To address the board, provide a written summary at least 2 business days before the meeting; speaking is limited to 10 minutes, and at most 3 members may speak per meeting.
• Religious displays: You may display religious items only on your entry door or door frame, up to 25 square inches. The display may not use prohibited materials/colors, contain offensive language, or violate other deed restrictions that don't conflict with state law.
• Flags and flagpoles: Only the U.S. flag, Texas flag, or official/replica flags of U.S. armed forces branches may be flown on a freestanding flagpole. One freestanding pole per lot, max 20 feet tall, at least 5 feet from property lines. Poles must have a silver finish with a ball ornament; flags must be 3'x5' or smaller. Pole-mounted flags up to 6 feet long. Prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee required.
• Solar energy panels: Solar panels require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. They are allowed only on your roof (conforming to roof slope) or in a fenced rear/side yard, not visible from the street. Panels must blend with roof color; visible piping/wiring must be silver, bronze, or black. Ground-mounted systems must be screened. No panels on front elevation.
• Rain barrels/collection devices: Rain barrels are allowed but require prior approval. Preferred location is rear or side yard, behind a fence. They must be at the base of an existing downspout, max 36 inches tall and 24 inches in diameter, made of durable plastic in black, brown, green, or simulated wood, with a screened cover and splash block. Must not be visible from the street.
• Records retention and access: The association retains certain records (e.g., account records for 5 years, contracts for 4 years after expiration, minutes/taxes/financials for 7 years, governing documents permanently). Owners may request access or copies in writing; the association must respond within 10 business days. Production costs apply (e.g., $0.10 per standard page, $15/hour labor, $28.50/hour programmer, plus 20% overhead). Certain records (violation histories, personal financial info, personnel files) are confidential.
• Payment plans and waivers: The association offers payment plans for delinquent assessments, minimum 3 months and maximum 12 months, with setup and monthly fees. A waiver of late fees/interest may be granted only if you haven't defaulted on a prior payment plan or received a waiver in the preceding year; waiver does not cover collection costs. Default on a plan can result in immediate acceleration and collections.
• What this document doesn't cover: These excerpts do not include the full declaration, bylaws, use restrictions (e.g., rental rules, pet limits, parking, architectural standards beyond the specific guidelines listed), or assessment amounts. They are partial records—check the complete governing documents for all rules.
