operating and maintaining various Common Areas and Community amenities, as well as administering
and enforcing all of the Documents.
Other specific Documents include such instruments as the Certificate of Formation and Bylaws which set
forth the corporate governance structure of the Association as well as the various Rules, which include
rules, regulations, policies and procedures outlining the operation of the Association and required

holding beneficial title to the same unless such right is expressly delegated to the beneficial Owner
thereof in writing. Other than representative voting by Neighborhood Delegates, any provision in the
Association's governing documents that would disqualify an Owner from voting in an Association
election of Board Members or on any matter concerning the rights or responsibilities of the Owner is
void.
Section 3.10. Methods of Voting: In Person; Proxies; Absentee Ballots; Electronically. On any
matter as to which a Member is entitled individually to cast the vote for his Lot or Condominium Unit
such vote may be cast or given: (a) in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Association; (b) by absentee
ballot; (c) by electronic ballot; or (d) by such other means as may be permitted by law and as adopted by
Chunk 14 · Pages unknown
y be cast or given: (a) in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Association; (b) by absentee
ballot; (c) by electronic ballot; or (d) by such other means as may be permitted by law and as adopted by
the Board. Any vote cast in an election or vote by a Member of the Association must be in writing and
signed by the Member. Electronic votes constitute written and signed ballots. In an Association election,
written and signed ballots are not required for uncontested races. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Documents, Neighborhood Delegates may not vote by proxy but only in person or
through their designated alternates; provided, any Neighborhood Delegate who is only entitled to cast
the vote(s) for his own Lot(s) or Condominium Unit(s) pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Covenant may cast
such vote as provided herein until such time as the Board first calls for election of a Neighborhood
Delegate to represent the Neighborhood where the Lot or Condominium Unit is located. Votes shall be
cast as provided in this Section:
(A) Proxies. Any Member may give a revocable written proxy in the form as prescribed by
the Board from time to time to any person authorizing such person to cast the Member's vote on any
matter. A Member's vote by proxy is subject to any limitations of Texas law relating to the use of general
proxies and subject to any specific provision to the contrary in the Covenant or these Bylaws. No proxy
shall be valid unless signed by the Member for which it is given or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact,
dated, and filed with the Secretary of the Association prior to the meeting for which it is to be effective.
Proxies shall be valid only for the specific meeting for which given and for lawful adjournments of such

led with the Secretary of the Association prior to the meeting for which it is to be effective.
Proxies shall be valid only for the specific meeting for which given and for lawful adjournments of such
meeting. In no event shall a proxy be valid more than eleven (11) months after the effective date of the
proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable and shall automatically cease upon conveyance of the Lot or
Condominium Unit for which it was given.
(B) Absentee and Electronic Ballots. An absentee or electronic ballot: (i) may be counted as a
Member or Neighborhood Delegate, as applicable, present and voting for the purpose of establishing a
quorum only for items appearing on the ballot; (ii) may not be counted, even if properly delivered, if the
Member or Neighborhood Delegate, as applicable, attends any meeting to vote in person, so that any vote
cast at a meeting by a Member or Neighborhood Delegate supersedes any vote submitted by absentee or
electronic ballot previously submitted for that proposal; and (iii) may not be counted on the final vote of a
proposal if the proposal was amended at the meeting to be different from the exact language on the
absentee or electronic ballot. For the purposes of this Section, a nomination taken from the floor in a
Board member election is not considered an amendment to the proposal for the election.
(1) Absentee Ballots. No absentee ballot shall be valid unless it is in writing, signed
by the Neighborhood Delegate or Member for which it is given or his duly authorized attorney­
in-fact, dated, and filed with the Secretary of the Association prior to the meeting for which it is
to be effective. Absentee ballots shall be valid only for the specific meeting for which given and

specific meeting or lawful adjournment of such meeting at which such ballot is counted or upon

conveyance of the Lot or Condominium Unit for which it was given. Any solicitation for votes
by absentee ballot must include:
(i) an absentee ballot that contains each proposed action and provides an
opportunity to vote for or against each proposed action;
(ii) instructions for delivery of the completed absentee ballot, including the
delivery location; and
(iii) the following language: "By casting your vote via absentee ballot you
will forgo the opportunity to consider and vote on any action from the
floor on these proposals, if a meeting is held. This means that if there
are amendments to these proposals your votes will not be counted on the
final vote on these measures. If you desire to retain this ability, please
attend any meeting in person. You may submit an absentee ballot and
later choose to attend any meeting in person, in which case any in­
person vote will prevail."
(2) Electronic Ballots. "Electronic ballot" means a ballot: (a) given by email, facsimile
or posting on a website; (b) for which the identity of the Neighborhood Delegate or Member
submitting the ballot can be confirmed; and (c) for which the Neighborhood Delegate or Member
may receive a receipt of the electronic transmission and receipt of the Neighborhood Delegate or
Chunk 17 · Pages unknown
or Member
submitting the ballot can be confirmed; and (c) for which the Neighborhood Delegate or Member
may receive a receipt of the electronic transmission and receipt of the Neighborhood Delegate or
Member's ballot. If an electronic ballot is posted on a website, a notice of the posting shall be sent
to each Neighborhood Delegate or Member that contains instructions on obtaining access to the
posting on the website.
Section 3.11. Tabulation of and Access to Ballots. A person who is a candidate in an Association
election or who is otherwise the subject of an Association vote, or a person related to that person within
the third degree by consanguinity or affinity may not tabulate or otherwise be given access to the ballots
cast in that election or vote except such person may be given access to the ballots cast in the election or
vote as part of a recount process. A person tabulating votes in an Association election or vote or who
performs a recount pursuant to Section 3.12 may not disclose to any other person how an individual
voted. Notwithstanding any provision of these Bylaws to the contrary, only a person who tabulates votes
pursuant to this Section or performs a recount pursuant to Section 3.12 shall be given access to any
Association ballots.

FINE AND ENFORCEMENT POLICY
1. Background. Alsatian Oaks is subject to that certain Alsatian Oaks Master Covenant [Residential]
recorded in the Official Public Records of Medina County, Texas, as the same may be amended
from time to time ("Covenant"). In accordance with the Covenant, Alsatian Oaks Master
Community Association, Inc., a Texas non-profit corporation (the "Association") was created to
administer the terms and provisions of the Covenant. Unless the Covenant or Applicable Law
expressly provides otherwise, the Association acts through a majority of its board of directors (the
"Board"). The Association is empowered to enforce the covenants, conditions and restrictions of
the Covenant, Certificate, Bylaws, Community Manual, the Design Guidelines (if adopted), any
applicable Development Area Declaration, any applicable Notice of Applicability, and any rules
and regulations promulgated by the Association pursuant to the Covenant or any Development
Area Declaration, as each may be adopted and amended from time to time ( collectively, the
"Documents"), including the obligation of Owners to pay assessments pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Covenant and the obligations of the Owners to compensate the Association for

The Board hereby adopts this Fine and Enforcement Policy to establish equitable policies and
procedures for the levy of fines within the Association in compliance with the Chapter 209 of the
Texas Property Code, titled the "Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act," as it may be

any other applicable law, such provision shall be modified to comply with the applicable law.
Terms used in this policy, but not defined, shall have the meaning subscribed to such term in the

2. Policy. The Association uses fines to discourage violations of the Documents, and to encourage
compliance when a violation occurs -not to punish violators or generate revenue for the
Association. Although a fine may be an effective and efficient remedy for certain types of
violations or violators, it is only one of several methods available to the Association for enforcing
the Documents. The Association's use of fines does not interfere with its exercise of other rights
and remedies for the same violation.
3. Owner's Liability. An Owner is liable for fines levied by the Association for violations of the
Documents by the Owner and the relatives, guests, employees, and agents of the Owner and
residents. Regardless of who commits the violation, the Association may direct all
communications regarding the violation to the Owner.
4. Amount. The Association may set fine amounts on a case by case basis, provided the fine is

reasonable in light of the nature, frequency, and effects of the violation. The Association may
establish a schedule of fines for certain types of violations. The amount and cumulative total of a
fine must be reasonable in comparison to the violation, and should be uniform for similar

the Association may establish a maximum amount for a particular fine, at which point the total
fine will be capped.
5. Violation Notice. Except as set forth in Section 5(C) below, before levying a fine, the Association
will give (i) a written violation notice via certified mail to the Owner (at the Owner's last known

be heard, if requested by the Owner. The Association's Violation Notice will contain the
following items: (1) the date the Violation Notice is prepared or mailed; (2) a description of the
violation or property damage that is the basis for the Individual Assessment, suspension action,
or other charge; (3) a reference to the rule or provision that is being violated; (4) a description of

If an Assessment, other than a Regular Assessment, is payable in installments, and if an Owner
defaults in the payment of any installment, the Association may declare the entire Assessment in default
and accelerate the due date on all remaining installments of the Assessment. An Assessment, other than a
Regular Assessment, payable in installments may be accelerated only after the Association gives the
Owner at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of the default and the Association's intent to accelerate the
unpaid balance if the default is not timely cured. Following acceleration of the indebtedness, the
Association has no duty to reinstate the installment program upon partial payment by the Owner.
Section 3. PAYMENTS
3-A. Application of Payments. After the Association notifies the Owner of a delinquency and the
Owner's liability for late fees or interest, and collection costs, any payment received by the
Association shall be applied in the following order, starting with the oldest charge in each
category, until that category is fully paid, regardless of the amount of payment, notations on
checks, and the date the obligations arose:
(1) Delinquent assessments (4) Other reasonable attorney's fees
(2) Current assessments (5) Reasonable Fines
(3) Reasonable attorney's fees and costs (6) Any other reasonable amount
associated with delinquent
assessments
3-B. Payment Plans. The Association shall offer a payment plan to a delinquent Owner with a
minimum term of at least three (3) months from the date the payment plan is requested for which
the Owner may be charged reasonable administrative costs and interest. The Association will

Owner with a
minimum term of at least three (3) months from the date the payment plan is requested for which

discretion. An Owner is not entitled to a payment plan if the Owner has defaulted on a previous
payment plan in the last two (2) years. The Association is not required to make a payment plan

If an Owner is in default at the time the Owner submits a payment, the Association is not

3-C. Form of Payment. The Association may require that payment of delinquent Assessments be

less than the full amount due and payable) and payments to which the payer attaches conditions
or directions contrary to the Board's policy for applying payments. The Association's
endorsement and deposit of a payment does not constitute acceptance. Instead, acceptance by the
Association occurs when the Association posts the payment to the Owner's account. If the
Association does not accept the payment at that time, it will promptly refund the payment to the
payer. A payment that is not refunded to the payer within thirty (30) days after being deposited
by the Association may be deemed accepted as to payment, but not as to words of limitation or
instruction accompanying the payment. The acceptance by the Association of partial payment of

prohibits the inspection, copying and/or retention of association records and files in violation of the
controlling provisions of the Texas Property Code or any other applicable state law. The Board has
adopted this policy in lieu of any express prohibition or any provision regulating such matters which
conflict with Texas law, as set forth in the Covenant.

writing and delivered to the Association) may submit a written request via certified mail to the
Association's mailing address or authorized representative listed in the management certificate to access
the Association's records. The written request must include sufficient detail describing the books and

written request, the Association may estimate the costs associated with responding to each request, which
costs may not exceed the costs allowed pursuant to Texas Administrative Code Section 70.3, as may be
amended from time to time (a current copy of which is attached hereto). Before providing the requested
records, the Association will require that the Owner remit such estimated amount to the Association. The
Association will provide a final invoice to the Owner on or before the 30th business day after the records
are provided by the Association. If the final invoice includes additional amounts due from the requesting
party, the additional amounts, if not reimbursed to the Association before the 30th business day after the

(1) Whenever any labor charge is applicable to a request, a governmental body may include in
the charges direct and indirect costs, in addition to the specific labor charge. This overhead charge would
cover such costs as depreciation of capital assets, rent, maintenance and repair, utilities, and
administrative overhead. If a governmental body chooses to recover such costs, a charge shall be made in
accordance with the methodology described in paragraph (3) of this subsection. Although an exact
calculation of costs will vary, the use of a standard charge will avoid complication in calculating such
costs and will provide uniformity for charges made statewide.
(2) An overhead charge shall not be made for requests for copies of 50 or fewer pages of standard
paper records unless the request also qualifies for a labor charge pursuant to Texas Government Code,
§552.261(a)(l) or (2).
(3) The overhead charge shall be computed at 20% of the charge made to cover any labor costs
associated with a particular request. Example: if one hour of labor is used for a particular request, the
formula would be as follows: Labor charge for locating, compiling, and reproducing, $15.00 x .20 = $3.00;
or Programming labor charge, $28.50 x .20 = $5.70. If a request requires one hour of labor charge for
locating, compiling, and reproducing information ($15.00 per hour); and one hour of programming labor
charge ($28.50 per hour), the combined overhead would be: $15.00 + $28.50 = $43.50 x .20 = $8.70.

(f) Microfiche and microfilm charge.
(1) If a governmental body already has information that exists on microfiche or microfilm and
has copies available for sale or distribution, the charge for a copy must not exceed the cost of its
reproduction. If no copies of the requested microfiche or microfilm are available and the information on
the microfiche or microfilm can be released in its entirety, the governmental body should make a copy of
the microfiche or microfilm. The charge for a copy shall not exceed the cost of its reproduction. The Texas
State Library and Archives Commission has the capacity to reproduce microfiche and microfilm for
governmental bodies. Governmental bodies that do not have in-house capability to reproduce microfiche
or microfilm are encouraged to contact the Texas State Library before having the reproduction made
commercially.
(2) If only a master copy of information in microfilm is maintained, the charge is $.10 per page
for standard size paper copies, plus any applicable labor and overhead charge for more than 50 copies.
(g) Remote document retrieval charge.
(1) Due to limited on-site capacity of storage documents, it is frequently necessary to store
information that is not in current use in remote storage locations. Every effort should be made by
governmental bodies to store current records on-site. State agencies are encouraged to store inactive or
non-current records with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. To the extent that the
retrieval of documents results in a charge to comply with a request, it is permissible to recover costs of
such services for requests that qualify for labor charges under current law.

extent that the
retrieval of documents results in a charge to comply with a request, it is permissible to recover costs of
such services for requests that qualify for labor charges under current law.
(2) If a governmental body has a contract with a commercial records storage company, whereby
the private company charges a fee to locate, retrieve, deliver, and return to storage the needed record(s),
no additional labor charge shall be factored in for time spent locating documents at the storage location
by the private company's personnel. If after delivery to the governmental body, the boxes must still be
searched for records that are responsive to the request, a labor charge is allowed according to subsection
( d)(l) of this section.
(h) Computer resource charge.
(1) The computer resource charge is a utilization charge for computers based on the amortized
cost of acquisition, lease, operation, and maintenance of computer resources, which might include, but is
not limited to, some or all of the following: central processing units (CPUs), servers, disk drives, local
area networks (LANs), printers, tape drives, other peripheral devices, communications devices, software,
and system utilities.
(2) These computer resource charges are not intended to substitute for cost recovery
methodologies or charges made for purposes other than responding to public information requests.
(3) The charges in this subsection are averages based on a survey of governmental bodies with a
broad range of computer capabilities. Each governmental body using this cost recovery charge shall
determine which category(ies) of computer system(s) used to fulfill the public information request most
closely fits its existing system(s), and set its charge accordingly. Type of System--Rate: mainframe--$10

per CPU minute; Midsize--$1.50 per CPU minute; Client/Server--$2.20 per clock hour; PC or LAN--$1.00
per clock hour.
(4) The charge made to recover the computer utilization cost is the actual time the computer
takes to execute a particular program times the applicable rate. The CPU charge is not meant to apply to
programming or printing time; rather it is solely to recover costs associated with the actual time required
by the computer to execute a program. This time, called CPU time, can be read directly from the CPU

particular request, the appropriate charge that may be recovered for programming time is set forth in
subsection (d) of this section. No charge should be made for computer print-out time. Example: If a
mainframe computer is used, and the processing time is 20 seconds, the charges would be as follows: $10
I 3 = $3.33; or $10 I 60 x 20 = $3.33.
(5) A governmental body that does not have in-house computer capabilities shall comply with
requests in accordance with the §552.231 of the Texas Government Code.
(i) Miscellaneous supplies. The actual cost of miscellaneous supplies, such as labels, boxes, and
other supplies used to produce the requested information, may be added to the total charge for public
information.

public information and that is charged a "transaction fee" by the credit card company may recover that
fee.
(m) These charges are subject to periodic reevaluation and update.
