Townwalk Chase Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Townwalk Chase Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This document is a management certificate and a collection of policies for the Townwalk Chase Homeowners Association, Inc., a single-family HOA in North Richland Hills, TX. It does not contain the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or detailed rules about assessment amounts, lease restrictions, or pet limits. Instead, it provides various operational policies and architectural guidelines adopted by the HOA board.

• Records & inspection: Owners may inspect or purchase copies of HOA records. Requests must be in writing, and the HOA can charge reasonable costs for production. Records include financial books, contracts, minutes, tax returns, and more, with specified retention periods (e.g., 7 years for financial records).
• Payment plans & collections: The HOA offers payment plans for delinquent assessments with a minimum 3-month term and requires at least 25% down. Plans must be in writing. Default results in immediate acceleration. The collection policy includes a schedule of fees: $20 late charge per notice, $50 title search fee, $150 escalated processing fee, and attorney fees if turned over for collection.
• Violation enforcement: Violations are handled through a notice process: a courtesy notice (10 days to correct), followed by subsequent notices (30 days each), and a final notice by certified mail (30 days). If not corrected, the matter may be turned over to the HOA's attorney, who can file liens or seek foreclosure.
• Architectural guidelines: Separate guidelines govern solar energy devices, roofing materials, rainwater collection, flag displays, religious item displays, and drought-resistant landscaping. Each requires HOA approval. Solar panels must parallel the roofline or be below the fence line. Roofing must be similar in quality and color to existing homes. Rain barrels must be screened from public view. Flags must comply with federal and state law. Drought-resistant landscaping must maintain designated turf areas and use approved ground cover.
• Voting & email registration: Voting instruments (absentee ballots, proxies) must be submitted by mail, email, or in person by the deadline. Email registration is required for online access and electronic notices; the HOA's website is used for registration.
• Conflict of interest: Board members must disclose conflicts of interest when contracting with relatives or their companies. Contracts require at least two competitive bids, no participation by the conflicted director, and board approval by a majority of disinterested directors. Violations render contracts void.
• Application of payments: Payments from owners are applied first to delinquent assessments, then current assessments, then attorney fees, then fines, and finally other amounts owed. This order is mandated by Texas law.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include the actual HOA covenants (CC&Rs), assessment amounts, leasing rules, pet restrictions, parking policies, or age restrictions. Those rules would be found in the separate Declaration or other governing documents.
