What Red Bird Woods Addition's governing documents say

This is a set of restrictive covenants for Red Bird Woods Addition, a single-family residential subdivision in Joshua, TX. The rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to protect property values, but the document does not create a homeowners association or impose regular assessments.

• Architectural review: No building or exterior alteration may begin without written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (initially Tracy Klint and Christy Thetford Sanders). Plans must be submitted; if the Committee fails to approve or reject within 60 days, the plans are deemed rejected.
• Building design & materials: Each lot may have one detached single-family dwelling, max two stories, with a private garage for 2–4 cars. Minimum living area is 1,800 air-conditioned square feet (excluding garages, porches, etc.). Exterior walls must be at least 75% brick, stone, or masonry (including HardiePlank). Roofs must have a 5/12 pitch. No mobile, modular, or manufactured homes are allowed.
• Setbacks & outbuildings: Buildings must be at least 75 feet from the front lot line and 25 feet from side and rear lot lines. Up to two outbuildings (e.g., barns, sheds) are allowed but must be behind the main residence, cannot be used as living space, and must be built of new materials.
• Animals: Per acre, lots may have up to 2 horses, cows, sheep, or goats (combined total not exceeding twice the acreage). Each lot may also have up to 5 chickens and 1 rooster, and no more than 3 dogs or cats total. Commercial breeding and kennels are prohibited. No hogs, ostriches, or emus.
• Home businesses: One home business per lot is allowed, but all activity must be conducted inside the main residence with no outward signs (e.g., signs, customer traffic). No commercial signage is permitted on any tract.
• Prohibited uses & nuisances: Lots may be used only for residential purposes. No temporary structures (trailers, mobile homes, tents, shacks) may be used as residences. No junk yards, wrecking yards, or storage of non-running vehicles. Noxious or nuisance activities are prohibited. Rubbish must be kept in sanitary containers.
• Easements: Easements for utilities and drainage are reserved as shown on the recorded plat. Utility companies are not liable for damage to shrubbery or trees within easements. Owners must not obstruct these easements.
• Enforcement & duration: Covenants run with the land for 20 years from recording (January 2019), then auto-renew for successive 10-year periods. Amendment requires 70% owner approval during the first 20 years, then 50% thereafter. Declarant or any owner may enforce these rules.
