What Shell Beach Homeowners A's governing documents say

Shell Beach is a single-family home subdivision in Hackberry, TX, governed by restrictive covenants recorded in 2004. These rules run with the land and are binding on all homeowners, enforced by a homeowners association with an architectural control committee.

• Architectural review & minimum home standards: All construction plans and plot plans must be submitted with a $90 fee to the Architectural Control Committee for written approval. Minimum floor area (excluding porches, garages, outbuildings): 1,800 sq ft for single-story on Lots 1-43, 2,000 sq ft on Lots 44-88, and 2,600 sq ft for two-story homes. Exterior walls must be at least 75% brick or masonry.
• Garages, parking & vehicle storage: Primary garages must be attached, at least two-car, with doors not facing the street (except corner lots with angled entry or 40 ft building setback). Boats and motor homes must be stored behind the building line in a screened fenced area, or inside a garage. All motor vehicles kept outside must have current registration. No carports allowed (existing ones on Lots 17, 19, 40 grandfathered).
• Fences & setbacks: Fences require approval from the Architectural Control Committee. They should be built 3 inches inside property lines unless on the line with neighbor. Fences in front of the building line (35 ft for Lots 22-88, 40 ft for Lots 1-21) must be open (non-screening). Building height limited to 2.5 stories.
• Animals: Two horses are allowed on lots 3/4 acre or larger. No livestock, swine, or poultry are permitted. Dogs, cats, or other household pets are acceptable as long as not kept for commercial purposes.
• Trash, mailboxes & nuisances: Trash must be kept in covered sanitary containers and placed at pickup points only on scheduled days. Mailboxes must be masonry structures, min. 18 in wide x 24 in deep, located 8 in back from curb and 38-46 in above curb. No noxious or offensive activities or nuisances.
• Annual assessments & enforcement: The homeowners association (managed by three trustees) may assess an annual fee of $125 per lot payable by January 31, adjustable by 2/3 vote of lot owners. Unpaid assessments become a lien after 120 days. The association may also mow or clean vacant lots and charge the owner.
• Term & amendment: These covenants run for 25 years from recording (2004), automatically extending for successive 5-year periods unless 51% of homeowners vote to amend or abolish. Amendments may also be made by Myran Corporation while it owns 20% of lots.
