Patriot Estates Lot

What Patriot Estates Lot's governing documents say

This is a collection of partial documents for a lot in Patriot Estates, Venus, TX — not a complete set of community rules. They include a builder's warranty/arbitration agreement (Restrictive Covenant and Agreement) and a notice to purchasers. The notice confirms that the property is part of a homeowners' association with recorded deed restrictions and that HOA membership is mandatory, but the actual governing documents (CC&Rs) are not provided here.

• Construction dispute resolution: Any dispute between the owner and builder (including construction defects) must first go to mediation, then binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, not to court. The arbitrator decides all arbitrability issues and can award attorney fees.
• Warranty limitation: The only express warranty is a separate written limited home warranty; all implied warranties (good workmanship, habitability) are waived and replaced by that limited warranty.
• Mold disclaimer: The builder disclaims all liability for mold, mildew, or biological impurities. The owner releases the builder from any claims related to mold, including property damage and personal injury, and must obtain waivers of subrogation from insurers.
• Property owners' association membership: The notice states the property is part of a residential community with a mandatory property owners' association. Assessments are owed and are subject to change; failure to pay could result in a lien and foreclosure. Copies of the governing documents are available from the county clerk.
• Deed restrictions: The notice lists recorded deed restrictions (by volume and page) that limit use of the property, with any discriminatory restrictions (race, color, etc.) deleted as unenforceable. This is only a notice; the full restrictions are not reproduced.
• What this document doesn't cover: These documents do not include the actual CC&Rs, so there are no details on maintenance responsibilities, architectural controls, pet rules, leasing restrictions, parking, or specific assessment amounts. For those, obtain the full dedicatory instruments from the county clerk.
