Lakeview Country Estates Owners Association

What Lakeview Country Estates Owners Association's governing documents say

This is the Bylaws of the Lakeview Country Estates Owners Association, a Texas nonprofit corporation that governs a single-family residential subdivision in Mansfield, Tarrant County, Texas. The document primarily outlines the association's internal governance—membership, meetings, voting, board structure, and finances—rather than day-to-day homeowner rules. It is intended for homeowners and prospective buyers who want to understand how the HOA operates and what obligations they have as members.

• Membership & voting: Every lot owner automatically becomes a member of the association, with one vote per lot owned. Voting may be in person, by proxy, by absentee or electronic ballot, and a quorum is 25% of the 55 lots (14 members).
• Board of Directors: The board has five directors, all of whom must be lot owners, with no more than one director per lot. Directors serve without pay, and felons or those convicted of crimes of moral turpitude in the past 20 years are ineligible.
• Meetings & notices: Board meetings must be open to owners, with notice given at least 72 hours in advance, except for executive sessions. Annual and special member meetings require notice between 10 and 60 days before the meeting.
• Assessments & finances: The board can levy annual and special assessments as described in the Declaration. Expenditures over $500 per fiscal year require member approval, and the board must follow Texas Property Code procedures before filing liens for unpaid assessments.
• Fines & enforcement: Starting January 1, 2024, the board must follow Texas Property Code section 209.0061 before levying fines. The association may enforce covenants and restrictions, and failure to enforce does not waive future enforcement.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is the Bylaws only; it does not contain the full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that govern property use, architectural standards, or other homeowner obligations. Those are found in the separate Declaration and Restrictions.
