Glen Ellen Subdivision

What Glen Ellen Subdivision's governing documents say

This is an amended declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) for Glen Ellen, a small single-family residential subdivision in Grayson County, Texas, with common recreational areas (e.g., a swimming pool, tennis courts). The rules bind all owners of the residential tracts and common area, and cover how the property may be used, maintained, and governed collectively. It is not a condominium or townhome regime—each owner holds an undivided interest in the residential lots plus a shared interest in the common area.

• Residential use only: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. No commercial activity, outside storage, or any use that increases insurance risk or violates law is allowed.
• Animals & pets: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised or bred on the property, but dogs, cats, or other household pets may be kept if they do not create a nuisance.
• Vehicles & parking: No unregistered vehicles, boats, campers, or trailers may be kept on any lot except in areas designated by the owners. Vehicles must not be parked on the common area except as authorized by the owners.
• Structures & common area use: No signs, temporary structures, or outbuildings are allowed without prior approval of the majority of owners. All improvements and changes to the property require written consent from the majority of owners.
• Common area maintenance & assessments: All owners are jointly responsible for maintaining the common recreational facilities (e.g., pool, tennis courts). Annual assessments are set by the majority of owners based on estimated costs, and any shortfall may be recouped through special assessments. Owners must pay their share; unpaid assessments become a lien on the owner's interest.
• Dispute resolution: Any dispute arising from the interpretation or enforcement of these covenants must be resolved by binding arbitration (under AAA rules) rather than in court. The arbitration decision is final and binding on all parties.
