What The Las Colinas's governing documents say

This document is a partial excerpt from the governing documents of The Las Colinas community in Irving, TX, a master-planned community that includes a sub-association called Brownstones of Las Colinas, a condominium. The excerpt contains an amendment to the master association's bylaws (covering board meeting schedules and director classification) and the full bylaws of the Brownstones sub-association, which govern the condominium's board, meetings, fines, rule adoption, and owner obligations. Readers who live in or are considering a unit in the Brownstones sub-association should review the corresponding Declaration of Condominium and any other documents for complete rules.

• Board structure & elections (Brownstones): The board consists of 3 directors initially (can increase to 7), serving staggered 2-year terms. Only members in good standing (current on assessments and not in violation) can be elected. Directors may be removed by a 2/3 vote of members present or by the board for specific reasons.
• Association meetings (Brownstones): Annual meetings are held in April; special meetings can be called by the board or by petition of 20% of votes. Quorum is 30% of votes. Voting can be in person, by proxy, or absentee ballot; proxies expire after 1 year.
• Fines & enforcement (Brownstones): The board may levy fines for violations of governing documents, provided it gives written notice and an opportunity for a hearing. Fines must be reasonable and cannot exceed what is necessary to ensure compliance. No interest may be charged on fines, and the association cannot foreclose solely for fines.
• Rule-making (Brownstones): The board may adopt, amend, or terminate rules for the condominium's administration, maintenance, and resident welfare. Rules take effect at least 10 days after notice to owners, who have a right to comment.
• Owner obligations (Brownstones): Owners must pay assessments, provide notice of sale or transfer at least 10 business days before closing, and maintain current contact information and mortgagee details with the association. Violations may lead to fines or other enforcement.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include typical condominium restrictions such as pet limits, lease minimums, architectural guidelines, or assessment amounts. Those rules are likely in the Declaration of Condominium and other recorded documents for Brownstones of Las Colinas.
