The Villages of Walnut Creek is a single-family home HOA in Westworth Village, TX. These governing documents include an amendment permitting limited home businesses and the original restrictive covenants for the Walnut Estates Section III subdivision. They apply to homeowners and set rules for construction, property use, and maintenance.

• Business use & garage sales: Home businesses are allowed in a dwelling as long as they are not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no customer visits or door-to-door solicitation, and are consistent with residential character. Garage sales are permitted once per year on the first Saturday and Sunday in June from 7am to 7pm.
• Home construction & design standards: All dwellings must be single-family detached, maximum two stories, with a minimum floor area of 2,800 square feet (2,000 square feet on the first floor). At least 85% of first-floor exterior walls must be stone, masonry, or brick. Roofs must have at least an 8/12 pitch and be wood shingles, clay tiles, or composition in weather-wood colors. Each residence must have at least five offsets in the front elevation.
• Fences & walls: Fences, walls, and hedges cannot extend forward of the house building line. Maximum height is 6 feet, except on golf course lots where fences are limited to 4 feet and must be wrought iron or similar decorative material. Wire or woven fences are prohibited. Brick columns may be combined with other materials.
• Pets & animals: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised, bred, or kept except dogs, cats, or other household pets not maintained for commercial purposes.
• Parking & vehicle storage: Each residence must have a minimum 2-car garage and a maximum 3-car garage. Garage doors must face the side or rear and cannot face the street or golf course unless approved. Boats, trailers, campers, and similar vehicles cannot be stored nearer to the street than the front of the house and must be in a closed garage or fenced enclosure.
• Maintenance & landscaping: Homeowners must maintain their lots in a neat and orderly condition, including mowing, weed control, and landscaping. A sprinkler system is required for front and rear yards on golf course lots, completed within 120 days of 90% completion. Retaining walls must be brick, stone, or concrete; crosstie walls are prohibited without written permission. Outdoor clothes drying is not permitted.
• Architectural review: All new construction, alterations, fences, walls, and other improvements require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans and specifications must be submitted in duplicate; approval is presumed if the Committee does not respond within 15 days. The Committee may issue architectural standards bulletins.
• Assessments & enforcement: If a homeowner fails to maintain their lot after 10 days' written notice, the Association may enter and perform maintenance, charging the cost plus 10% interest as an assessment secured by a lien on the property, subordinate to existing mortgages.
