What Rustic Meadows's governing documents say

Rustic Meadows is a standard single-family residential subdivision in Venus, TX. Each owner owns their lot and detached home, subject to a set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions recorded in the county. The rules cover construction standards, property use, parking, pets, and maintenance, with enforcement by any owner. The document applies to Phases 1, 2, and 3.

• Residential use & construction: Each lot is for one detached single-family home, not exceeding two stories. Minimum air-conditioned area is 1,800 sq ft with a two-car attached or covered garage. Front elevation must be brick, stone, or approved material; roofs must have at least 6/12 pitch. Construction must be completed within 180 days.
• Parking & vehicles: No more than four owned vehicles visible per lot. Trucks, buses, boats, RVs, campers, and trailers must be stored in a garage or fenced area, not visible from the street, and cannot be parked on the street for over 12 consecutive hours. Inoperable vehicles must be screened from view.
• Pets & animals: Domestic household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed but not kept for commercial breeding. Sheep, goats, or swine are prohibited. Animals must not interfere with neighbors' enjoyment.
• Fences & outbuildings: Fences and walls must be masonry, brick, metal, or wrought iron, not chain-link visible from the street, and no taller than 6 feet. They cannot extend beyond the front building line. Outbuildings must be on a concrete slab, at least 20 feet from side property lines, and not used for storing RVs or trailers unless enclosed.
• Trash & maintenance: Trash must be kept in sanitary containers and placed out only on pickup day, not visible from roadways at other times. Owners must mow their lot and adjacent right-of-way, control weeds, and remove debris. Failure after 10 days' notice allows other owners or the Declarant to do the work and charge the owner.
• Signs & antennas: Only one professional sign (max 5 sq ft) for sale or a builder's sign (max 9 sq ft) during construction/sales is allowed. No handwritten window ads. Antennas, satellite dishes, and similar structures require Declarant approval.
• Duration & amendments: The covenants run with the land until September 12, 2028, then auto-renew for 10-year periods unless 75% of owners vote to abolish. Declarant can amend for the first 10 years; thereafter, 75% owner consent is required.
