What The Gates at Waters Edge Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

The Gates at Waters Edge is a single-family homeowner association (HOA) in Oak Point, TX. This document is a partial amendment to the community's governing declaration, modifying specific rules about lighting, prohibited uses, lot maintenance, construction activity, solar panels, and flag display. It does not contain the full set of HOA rules; only the sections amended are described here.

• Exterior lighting: Front elevations must have at least four outdoor flood-type lights on photo cell and timer, with a driveway light on each column; all lights must be hardwired (not solar) and pre-approved by the committee.
• Prohibited uses & signs: Temporary dwellings (e.g., trailers, mobile homes) are not allowed without committee approval. Trash must be kept in screened containers. For-sale signs (max 6 sq ft), builder signs, political signs (max 5 sq ft, up to 90 days before election, removed 10 days after), and celebration signs are permitted; signs must be ground-mounted no higher than 4 ft.
• Unimproved lot maintenance: For unimproved lots, the owner must keep the first 80 ft from the road weed-free and grass under 12 inches. Dead trees posing a threat must be removed. The association may enter the lot to perform maintenance and charge the owner.
• Construction activity: During construction, builders must install a silt fence (with wire backing) around the site, a 3-inch rip rock construction driveway (min 10 ft wide, 15 ft long), control subcontractor parking (no driving across other lots), keep the site clean, and mow any grass.
• Solar energy devices: Solar energy devices require committee approval and must be placed on the roof or within a fenced area. Roof-mounted devices cannot extend above or beyond the roofline, must conform to the roof slope, and have frames/brackets in silver, bronze, or black. Installation on association-maintained areas (roofing or yard) is prohibited.
• Flags and flagpoles: U.S., Texas, military, or college/university flags (max 3 ft x 5 ft) are allowed without pre-approval if mounted on a flagpole (max 5 ft) affixed to the front or rear of the residence (max 2 per lot). Freestanding flagpoles (max 20 ft) require committee approval. Illumination limited to one halogen landscaping light; halyards must be secured to reduce noise.
• Deletion of golf cart section: Section 7.1G titled 'Golf Carts' is deleted entirely.
• What this document doesn't cover: This partial amendment does not address assessments, leasing/rentals, pets, parking, or other typical HOA rules. For those, the full declaration (Second Amended and Restated Declaration) applies.
