This is a set of amendments and the original declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Prairie Ridge Estates, a single-family residential subdivision in Brazos County, Texas. The rules apply to all lot owners in the subdivision, and this document is the primary rulebook for the community.

• Building & construction restrictions: Homes must have at least 2,300 square feet of under-roof living area (excluding porches, garages, patios). Maximum height is 32 feet, exteriors must be at least 50% masonry (with no more than 50% fiber cement), and roofs must have a minimum 8:12 pitch. All construction requires Architectural Control Committee approval, and plans expire after 12 months if construction hasn't started.
• Architectural review: All buildings, hardscape, additions, and modifications require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee before work begins. The committee can charge a review fee, and if it doesn't act within 30 days, plans are deemed approved. Construction must start within 90 days of approval and be completed within 18 months.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental or lease of a residence is prohibited, and renting rooms to multiple tenants is also prohibited.
• Use & occupancy: Each lot is for non-commercial single-family residential use only. Occupancy is limited to one family, with specific examples defining who counts as family (e.g., husband/wife, domestic partners, roommates) and limits on unrelated persons and household employees.
• Pets & animals: No commercial animal raising is allowed. Each parcel may have one animal unit per acre, with a maximum of two dogs or cats. Animals cannot roam free, be tied up, or be staked, and wild or exotic animals are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: No 18-wheel tractor-trailer trucks may park in the subdivision or on any lot.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Landscaping must be approved by the committee, and live sod must be installed within 30 days of occupancy.
