What Cypress Bend Homeowners' Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Cypress Bend is a single-family homeowners' association (HOA) in Princeton, TX. This document is a set of specific guidelines adopted by the HOA board regarding the display of flags, solar energy devices, religious items, and rainwater recovery systems. It supplements the community's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions but does not contain the full rulebook; other rules (e.g., assessments, leasing, pets) are not included here.

• Flags: Only U.S., Texas, and U.S. armed forces flags are permitted. Flags must be displayed from a pole—attached to a structure (pole up to 6 ft., one per street-facing and one per rear) or a free-standing pole (up to 20 ft., up to two flags, requires ACC approval). Flag size up to 3' x 5'. Free-standing poles must meet setback and distance requirements.
• Solar Energy Devices: Solar devices require ACC approval. They may be installed on roofs (must conform to slope, not extend beyond roof edge, color-match shingles or be silver/bronze/black) or within a fenced yard/patio (no portion above fence). Placement must be least visible from street/common area without reducing estimated annual energy production by more than 10%.
• Display of Certain Religious Items: One or more religious items motivated by sincere belief may be displayed on or attached to the entry door or frame only. Total size combined must not exceed 25 square inches. Items must not threaten health/safety, violate law, or be patently offensive. No ACC approval needed.
• Rainwater Recovery Systems: Require ACC approval. All components (tanks, barrels, etc.) must be substantially screened from public view unless guttering precludes it, in which case a visible rain barrel must be 55 gallons or less, painted to blend, and located near the structure. Overflow must not affect adjacent properties. Open-top containers not allowed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is a partial set of guidelines and does not include the full CC&Rs of Cypress Bend. Missing topics include assessments (fees), leasing restrictions, pet rules, parking, architectural standards beyond those listed, or any HOA procedures regarding meetings, board elections, or enforcement—those are in other recorded documents and bylaws.
