Townhomes @ Lake Carolyn Owners Association, Inc.

What Townhomes @ Lake Carolyn Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of governing documents for Townhomes @ Lake Carolyn, a townhome community in Irving, Texas, with an owners association. The documents include amendments to the declaration and the association's bylaws, which primarily govern how the association is run and how owners participate. This is not the full rulebook for residents; it focuses on association governance, not day-to-day homeowner rules.

• What this document covers: These are the association's bylaws and two amendments to the declaration. They set up the board of directors, voting, meetings, and the association's powers, but they don't contain the full set of homeowner rules (like pet limits or rental restrictions) that would be in the original declaration.
• Association membership & voting: Owners are members of the association. Voting is by unit, and a quorum is 10% of eligible votes. Proxies are allowed but only from one member to another, and they expire after 11 months.
• Board of directors: The board has 3 to 7 directors. After the developer's control ends, directors must be owners, and at least two-thirds must live in the subdivision. Directors serve three-year terms, and elections are staggered.
• Developer control: The developer (Texas Intownhomes, LLC) has special rights as a 'Class B Member' to appoint directors and disapprove board actions until the development period ends or the developer gives up that control.
• Assessments & fees: The board can levy assessments, and unpaid assessments can become a lien on the property. Late fees, dishonored check fees, and transfer fees may be charged, and the association can suspend services for owners more than 30 days delinquent.
• Enforcement & fines: The board can fine owners for rule violations, and fines can become a lien. The association can also use self-help (like towing vehicles) and sue to enforce rules.
• Meetings & notices: Board meetings must be open to members, with notice given 10 to 60 days in advance. Some actions (like raising assessments or adopting rules) cannot be taken outside a meeting during the development period.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document doesn't include typical homeowner rules like pet limits, rental restrictions, or architectural guidelines. Those would be in the original declaration, which is not provided here.
