What Westport Lakeview Villas Property Owners Association Inc.'s governing documents say

Westport Lakeview Villas is a townhome community in The Colony, Texas, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules and responsibilities for owners and residents, covering everything from architectural control to pet limits and leasing. It's a full rulebook for anyone living in or buying a townhome here.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot and the structure itself, but the association maintains certain shared areas (common areas) and some components of your townhome (areas of common responsibility) as listed in the maintenance chart. The association also maintains streets, entrances, and landscaping in common areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change visible from the street, another home, or common area—like paint colors, landscaping, fences, or additions—requires prior written approval from the architectural reviewer. No verbal approvals count, and no approval is ever assumed. Interior remodeling that doesn't affect structure is allowed without approval.
• Pets: You can keep up to four pets per home, but no more than two can be cats or dogs. Pets must stay inside, be leashed or carried in common areas, and not cause disturbances. Commercial breeding or keeping animals for food is prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their townhome, but tenants must follow all governing documents. The owner is responsible for tenant compliance, and the association can enforce rules directly against tenants, including eviction, if the owner doesn't act.
• Parking & vehicles: Garages must be kept closed except when entering or leaving, and must be able to fit two standard-size vehicles. Driveways can't be used for storage or vehicle repair. The association can set parking rules, including speed limits and no-parking areas.
• Use restrictions: Townhomes are for residential use only, with limited home business allowed if there's no external evidence. No accessory sheds, exterior fires (except in a barbecue), or hunting/shooting. Occupancy is limited to two people per bedroom, and garages can't be used as living space.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies regular and special assessments on each lot to cover common expenses. All lots share equal liability for common expenses, and each lot has one equal vote. The association can place a lien for unpaid assessments.
• Common amenities: The declaration mentions a planned private amenity with a pool, dog park, and open space, but construction is not guaranteed. The board sets rules for its use.
