Bryant Acres

What Bryant Acres's governing documents say

This is a set of deed restrictions (protective covenants) for the Bryant Acres subdivision in Joshua, TX, recorded with Johnson County. It applies to all lot owners and focuses on drainage, floodplain management, and private sewage facilities. It is not a full HOA rulebook—it does not establish an association or cover typical community rules like pets, leasing, or architectural controls.

• Drainage & floodplain requirements: Houses on lots lower than the road must have a finished floor elevation at least 18 inches above the uphill-side grade. Driveway culverts must be at least 18 inches in diameter (unless approved by the precinct commissioner) and designed to pass a 5-year storm. No house may be built in a 100-year floodplain unless the finished floor is at least 3 feet above the floodplain elevation. No filling, obstruction, or permanent structures are allowed in the floodway.
• Private sewage facilities: If lots use on-site sewage systems (private sewage facilities), owners must comply with Johnson County and state regulations. The county does not guarantee performance; owners must upgrade the system if it causes odors, unsanitary conditions, or violates regulations. Owners are responsible for proper maintenance and water-use control.
• Drainage easements & owner responsibilities: Lot owners must not obstruct or construct improvements in drainage easements. They must maintain any creeks or drainage channels on or adjacent to their lots. Johnson County is not responsible for maintenance or for damage from flooding, but it has the right (but not duty) to enter and clear obstructions that block water flow.
• Invalid race restrictions: The document includes a statement that any provision restricting sale, rental, or use based on color or race is invalid and unenforceable under federal law.
• What this document doesn't cover: These deed restrictions do not address pets, leasing, assessments, architectural review, parking, or any other common HOA rules. They are limited to drainage, floodplain, and sewage requirements only.
