What Champion Lakes Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Champion Lakes is a single-family home HOA in Rowlett, TX. This document is the association's bylaws, which set the rules for how the HOA is governed — board elections, meetings, enforcement, and records. It does not contain the community's use restrictions (like pets, parking, or architectural rules), which are in a separate declaration.

• Board of Directors – size, terms, qualifications: The board has 3 directors serving staggered 2-year terms. Candidates cannot be delinquent on assessments (30+ days), have an uncured violation, or be in litigation adverse to the association. Directors can be removed by members (2/3 of votes present) or by other directors for specific reasons (e.g., 90-day delinquency, missing 3+ meetings in 12 months).
• Member meetings & voting: Annual meeting in March; special meetings called by board or by petition of 20% of lot owners. Quorum: 20% of lots present in person or by proxy. If quorum is not met, the board can hold an election-only meeting with 10% quorum (per first amendment). Votes are by lot, one vote per lot. Proxies allowed but must be in writing, revocable, and not perpetual without revocation.
• Enforcement & fines: Before fining, suspending common-area use, or taking self-help, the association must give written notice and an opportunity for a hearing within 30 days. Fines must be reasonable; no interest on unpaid fines; foreclosure cannot be based solely on fines. Self-help abatement allowed after notice. Certain emergency actions (temporary restraining orders, collection of assessments) are exempt from hearing requirements.
• Notice of sale & owner information: Owners must notify the board in writing at least 10 business days before selling, including buyer's name, closing date, and title company info. New owners must provide mailing address, phone, driver's license, and occupant info within 30 days.
• Amendments to bylaws: Bylaws can be amended by a majority of votes present at a meeting with a quorum (even if less than a majority of total lots), except that certain provisions (like the amendment process itself) require approval of a majority of total lots. Amendment must be recorded. An amendment may be effective immediately if approved by two-thirds of lots represented.
• Association records & resale certificates: Members can inspect books/records per state law. The association will provide resale certificates on request for a reasonable fee. A management certificate must be filed with the county.
