What Willow Vista Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Willow Vista Estates (Saginaw, TX) is a standard single‑family home subdivision. The documents here are individual “Restrictive Covenant and Agreement” forms between the original builder (Mearstone Properties) and each lot owner. They are NOT the subdivision’s full CC&Rs or HOA rules—these are ancillary covenants that run with the land and bind future owners regarding warranty disclaimers and dispute resolution.

• Warranty disclaimer: The builder disclaims all implied warranties (habitability, good workmanship) to the fullest extent allowed by law. Any implied warranties that cannot be disclaimed are limited to 2 years from the date the builder conveyed the property. The only warranties that exist are the express limited warranties in the sales contract.
• Mandatory mediation & arbitration: Any dispute between the owner and builder (including claims about construction, representations, or personal injury on the property) must first go to mediation, and if not resolved, to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act—not to court. The arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees. This requirement binds current and future owners because the covenant runs with the land.
• Mold release: The owner releases the builder from all present and future claims related to mold, mildew, fungus, or other biological impurities at the property, including claims for personal injury or property damage. The owner also waives subrogation rights and must obtain waivers from their insurers.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain the community’s HOA rules, restrictions, or covenants regarding pets, leasing, parking, architectural changes, age restrictions, assessments, or any other typical homeowners association regulations. Those rules would be found in the subdivision’s separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which are not included here.
