What Alsbury Meadows's governing documents say

Alsbury Meadows Addt Pblc/Re is a standard single-family home subdivision in Joshua, TX (Tarrant County). These covenants and restrictions bind all lot owners and cover building standards, land use, and property maintenance. There is no homeowners' association mentioned; enforcement is through legal action by lot owners.

• Building standards & construction: Any residence must have at least 1,100 sq ft of floor space (excluding porches and garages), be at least 80% brick, rock, or masonry, and not use white roofing. No building other than one detached single-family dwelling (max two stories) and a two-car garage is allowed.
• Architectural review: Plans and specifications for any construction, alteration, or fencing must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee (initially William E. Ware or his representative). If the committee fails to act within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed given.
• Use restrictions: Lots may be used only for residential purposes. No noxious or offensive activity, no trailers, tents, or basements used as residences. No oil drilling, mining, or commercial animal keeping. Dogs, cats, or household pets are allowed but not for commercial breeding.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicle larger than a ¾-ton pickup truck, motor home, or travel trailer may be parked on the street front or in driveways outside the building line for more than 24 hours, except during construction improvements.
• Setbacks & easements: Buildings must be set back at least the minimum building line shown on the plat, with side yards no less than 5 feet (total of both side yards considered to nearest foot). Easements for utilities and drainage are reserved over the rear 5 feet of each lot; no structures or plantings that alter drainage are allowed.
• Signs: No sign may be displayed except one temporary real estate sign not exceeding 5 square feet, or a builder's sign during construction or sales period.
• Term & amendments: These covenants run with the land for 30 years from recording, automatically renewing for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners agree to change them. The declarant (dedicator) had the right to amend without joinder for the first 5 years, but that right has expired.
