Mesquite Creek Estates

What Mesquite Creek Estates's governing documents say

Mesquite Creek Estates is a single-family residential subdivision of 10 lots (Lots 1–10, Block 1) in Johnson County, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants that runs with the land. These rules bind all current and future owners — not a homeowners association — and cover land use, minimum construction standards, and animal keeping. There is no HOA or monthly assessment mentioned in this document.

• Land use: All lots must be used solely for single-family residential purposes. No manufactured or mobile homes are allowed.
• Minimum home size: Any new main dwelling must have at least 1,600 square feet of living area and must be built of new construction materials.
• Exterior materials: At least 30% of the exterior walls (excluding windows and doors) must be masonry or masonry veneer — including brick, stucco, ceramic tile, clay, stone, or hardie board — below the plate line.
• Garbage and debris: No rubbish or debris of any kind may be placed or permitted to accumulate on the property.
• Animals and pets: On 1‑acre lots, farm animals (hogs, pigs, swine, cattle, horses, goats, sheep) are prohibited; household pets are allowed. On 2‑acre lots, animals are allowed without restriction (subject to other applicable laws).
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not create a homeowners association, impose assessments or fees, regulate leasing, parking, or architectural changes beyond the masonry requirement, or enforce age restrictions. It also does not address common areas or amenities.
