Woods of Preston Property Owners

What Woods of Preston Property Owners's governing documents say

This is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) for the Woods of Preston subdivision in Gunter, Texas. It combines amended covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) with the association's by-laws, governing residential lot use, architectural review, and how the HOA is run. The rules bind all property owners, and membership is automatic with lot ownership.

• Residential use & lot rules: Each tract may have only one dwelling unit for residential purposes. On tracts under three acres, only one accessory building (like a detached garage or workshop) is allowed; larger tracts may have two, and such buildings must be built before or while the main house is constructed, kept in good repair, and not used for residence.
• Architectural review: All dwellings and accessory buildings must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee before being erected, altered, or placed on the property. New homes must meet minimum size and exterior material standards, and manufactured housing is restricted.
• Association governance & meetings: The HOA is managed by a five-member board of directors elected by owners. Annual meetings are required, special meetings can be called by the board, and meetings are open to members. Notice of meetings must be given at least 10 days and no more than 60 days in advance for members, and board meetings require a quorum of at least three directors.
• Voting & elections: Each lot has one vote; if a lot has multiple owners, they designate one voter. Voting is by written ballot, and absentee/electronic ballots are allowed. Owners may request a recount within 15 days of an election, and board elections are held at the annual meeting.
• Assessments & fees: The board sets annual property owner dues based on the association's expenses and may adjust them yearly, with at least 60 days' prior notice. Any increase above two times the association's annual expenses requires membership approval.
• Board limits & homeowner protections: The board may not enter a homeowner's property without written consent (except in emergencies), cannot initiate foreclosure or enforcement actions without prior notice and an opportunity for the owner to be heard, and cannot borrow money or release liens without owner approval. Certain actions, like levying fines or special assessments, require notice and a hearing.
• Records & privacy: Members have the right to inspect and copy HOA books and records, but the association will not release information that identifies a member's violation history, personal financial information, or contact details (except their address) without consent or court order.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify rules about pet ownership, leasing/rental restrictions (beyond the general prohibition on accessory residential use), parking, or age restrictions. It also omits actual fee amounts and any amenity descriptions.
