What Mayfair Hills's governing documents say

Mayfair Hills is a single-family home subdivision in Bedford, TX, governed by restrictive covenants that run with the land. These rules apply to all lot owners and require homes to be used only for single-family residential purposes.

Garages must accommodate at least two cars. Roof materials must be slate, metal, rigid asbestos, or tile (wood shingles may be approved if local codes allow).
