What Morgan Creek Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Morgan Creek is a single-family home HOA in Royse City, TX, governed by restrictive covenants recorded in 2005. These rules bind all lot owners and tenants, and are enforced by an Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The document covers architectural standards, property maintenance, pets, vehicles, and other use restrictions.

• Architectural review: All dwellings, accessory structures, fences, landscaping, pools, and other improvements must be submitted to the ACC for written approval. If the ACC doesn't respond within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed granted.
• Dwelling construction standards: Homes must be single-family, no more than 2.5 stories, with at least 90% of exterior walls in stone, stucco, masonry, brick, or glass. Roofs must have a 10/12 pitch and 25-year minimum composition shingles, slate, or tile. Garage doors must face side or rear unless the garage is 100+ feet behind the front property line.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front and side yards must be sodded or hydro-mulched, and an underground sprinkler system is required. Grass and weeds must not exceed 6 inches. If an owner fails to maintain after 10 days' written notice, the ACC can enter the lot and charge the owner.
• Pets & animals: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for breeding. Livestock, poultry, and swine are prohibited, except one horse per lot (more allowed on lots over 1 acre with ACC approval). Pets must be contained or leashed.
• Vehicles & storage: Trailers, boats, campers, RVs, and similar vehicles cannot be stored longer than 24 hours unless in a covered shed or enclosed. No more than two such vehicles per lot. Vehicles larger than a pickup truck must be parked in a three-sided covered shed facing the property.
• Signs: Real estate signs are allowed, but subcontractor signs are limited to one per property, no larger than 24" x 18", and only during construction (max 30 days). Political signs are limited to two per property, no larger than 24" x 18". Garage sale signs may be placed 7 days in advance and must be removed immediately after.
• Pools & water features: Swimming pools must be permanent and in-ground, with ACC approval for location, design, fencing, and equipment screening. Above-ground pools are prohibited except inflatable pools no larger than 12' in diameter and 30" high, which require a 4-foot safety fence.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is partial—it lacks details on HOA fees, assessments, board structure, and enforcement procedures beyond the ACC. It also doesn't specify any age restrictions or rental rules.
