6.1.1 Established by the Board. Assessments established by the Board pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6 will be levied against each Lot in amounts determined by the Board pursuant to Section 6.7 below. The total amount of Assessments will be determined pursuant to Section 6.3 through Section 6.6.

6.1.2 Personal Obligation; Lien. Each Assessment, together with such interest thereon and costs of collection as hereinafter provided, will be the personal obligation of the

n 6.3 through Section 6.6.

6.1.2 Personal Obligation; Lien. Each Assessment, together with such interest thereon and costs of collection as hereinafter provided, will be the personal obligation of the Owner of the Lot against which the Assessment is levied and will be secured by a lien hereby granted and conveyed by Declarant to the Association against each such Lot and all Improvements thereon. The Association may enforce payment of such Assessments in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6.

6.1.3 Declarant Subsidy. Declarant may, but is not obligated to, reduce Assessments which would otherwise be levied against Lots for any fiscal year by the payment of a subsidy to the Association. Any subsidy paid to the Association by Declarant may be treated as a contribution or a loan, in Declarant’s sole and absolute discretion. Any subsidy and the characterization thereof may be disclosed as a line item in the annual budget prepared by the Board and attributable to such Assessments. The payment of a subsidy in any given year will not obligate Declarant to continue payment of a subsidy to the Association in future years.

6.2 Maintenance Fund. The Board will establish a maintenance fund into which will be deposited all monies paid to the Association and from which disbursements will be made in performing the functions of the Association under this Declaration. The funds of the Association may be used for any purpose authorized by the Restrictions and Applicable Law.

Board will prepare a budget for the purpose of determining amounts sufficient to pay the estimated net expenses of the Association (the “Regular Assessments”) which sets forth: (i) an estimate of the expenses to be incurred by the Association during such year in performing its functions and exercising its powers under the Restrictions, including, but not limited to, the cost of all management, repair and maintenance, the cost of providing any lighting, the cost of administering and enforcing the Restrictions, and (ii) an estimate of the amount needed to maintain a reasonable provision for contingencies and an appropriate replacement reserve, and will give due consideration to any expected income and any surplus from the prior year’s fund.

The level of Regular Assessments should be based on an accredited cost project analysis with a specific reserve account for maintaining the Common Area in good repair and condition.

Assessments sufficient to pay such estimated net expenses will then be levied at the level of Assessments set by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Board’s determination 37 TARASCO GARDENS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 4853-8452-1884v.2 53168-211 Doc# 20240030098 02/20/2024 04:14 PM Page 43 of 76 Lucy Adame-Clark, Bexar County Clerk — will be final and binding so long as it is made in good faith. If the sums collected prove inadequate for any reason, including non-payment of any Assessment, the Association may at any time, and from time to time, levy further Assessments in the same manner. All such Regular Assessments will be due and payable to the Association annually on or before the first day of the month, or in such other manner as the Board may designate in its sole and absolute discretion.

6.4 Working Capital Assessment. Each Owner (other than Declarant) will pay a onetime working capital assessment (the “Working Capital Assessment”) to the Association in such amount, if any, as may be determined by the Declarant, until expiration or termination of the Development Period, and the Board thereafter. The Working Capital Assessment hereunder will be due and payable to the Association by the transferee immediately upon each transfer of title to the Lot, including upon transfer of title from one Owner of such Lot to any subsequent purchaser or transferee thereof. Such Working Capital Assessment need not be uniform among all Lots, and the Declarant, until expiration or termination of the Development Period, and the Board thereafter, is expressly authorized to levy Working Capital Assessments of varying amounts depending on the size, use and general character of the Lots then being made subject to such levy. The Association may use the working capital to discharge operating expenses. The levy of any Working Capital Assessment will be effective only upon the Recordation of a written notice, signed by the Declarant during the Development Period or a duly authorized officer of the Association thereafter, setting forth the amount of the Working Capital Assessment and the Lots to which it applies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the following transfers will not be subject to the Working Capital Assessment: (i) foreclosure of a deed of trust lien, tax lien, or the Association’s

applies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the following transfers will not be subject to the Working Capital Assessment: (i) foreclosure of a deed of trust lien, tax lien, or the Association’s Assessment lien; (ii) transfer to, from, or by the Association; or (iii) voluntary transfer by an Owner to one or more co-Owners, or to the Owner's spouse, child, or parent, including conveyances to trusts. Additionally, the Declarant and an Owner who is a Homebuilder will not be subject to the Working Capital Assessment; however, the Working Capital Assessment will be payable by any Owner who acquires a Lot from the Declarant or a Homebuilder. In the event of any dispute regarding the application of the Working Capital Assessment to a particular Owner, the determination by the Declarant during the Development Period, and the Board thereafter, regarding application of the exemption will be binding and conclusive without regard to any contrary interpretation of this Section 6.4. The Working Capital Assessment will be in addition to, not in lieu of, any other Assessments levied in accordance with this Article 6 and will not be considered an advance payment of such Assessments. The Working Capital Assessment hereunder will be due and payable to the Association immediately upon each transfer of title to the Lot, including upon transfer of title from one Owner of such Lot to any subsequent purchaser or transferee thereof. The Declarant during the Development Period, and thereafter the Board, will have the power to waive the payment of any Working Capital Assessment attributable to a Lot (or all Lots) by the Recordation of a waiver, which waiver may be temporary or permanent.

The amount of any Special Assessments will be at the reasonable discretion of the Board. In addition to the Special Assessments authorized above, the Association may, in any fiscal year, levy a Special Assessment for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Common Area. Any Special Assessment levied by the Association for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, costs of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of capital improvement upon the Common Area will be levied against all Owners based on Assessment Units.

6.6 Individual Assessments. In addition to any other Assessments, the Board may levy an individual assessment (the “Individual Assessment”) against an Owner and the Owner’s Lot. Individual Assessments may include, but are not limited to: interest, late charges, and collection costs on delinquent Assessments; reimbursement for costs incurred in bringing an Owner or the Owner’s Lot into compliance with this Declaration; fines for violations of the

ate charges, and collection costs on delinquent Assessments; reimbursement for costs incurred in bringing an Owner or the Owner’s Lot into compliance with this Declaration; fines for violations of the Restrictions; transfer-related fees and resale certificate fees; fees for estoppel letters and project documents; insurance deductibles; reimbursement for damage or waste caused by willful or negligent acts of the Owner, the Owner’s guests, invitees or Residents of the Owner’s Lot; common expenses that benefit fewer than all of the Lots, which may be assessed according to benefit received; fees or charges levied against the Association on a per-Lot basis; and “pass through” expenses for services to Lots provided through the Association and which are equitably paid by each Lot according to the benefit received.

ny Lot from any Assessments levied or charged pursuant to this Article 6; (ii) delay the levy of Assessments against any un-platted, unimproved or improved portion of the Property; or (iii) reduce the Assessments against any un-platted, unimproved or improved portion of the Property.

If any Assessment is not paid by the due date applicable thereto, the Owner responsible for the payment may be required by the Board, at the Board’s election at any time and from time to time, to pay a late charge in such amount as the Board may designate, and the late charge (and any reasonable handling costs) will be levied as an Individual Assessment against the Lot owned by such Owner, collectible in the manner as provided for collection of Assessments, including foreclosure of the lien against such Lot; provided, however, such charge will never exceed the maximum charge permitted under Applicable Law.

6.9 Owner’s Personal Obligation; Interest. Assessments levied as provided for herein will be the personal and individual debt of the Owner of the Lot against which are levied such Assessments. No Owner may exempt himself or herself from liability for such Assessments.

In the event of default in the payment of any such Assessment, the Owner of the Lot will be obligated to pay interest on the amount of the Assessment at the highest rate allowed by applicable usury laws then in effect on the amount of the Assessment from the due date therefor

the Lot will be obligated to pay interest on the amount of the Assessment at the highest rate allowed by applicable usury laws then in effect on the amount of the Assessment from the due date therefor (or if there is no such highest rate, then at the rate of one and one-half percent (142%) per month), together with late charges, if any, all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Such amounts will be levied as an Individual Assessment against the Lot owned by such Owner.

6.10 Assessment Lien and Foreclosure. The payment of all sums assessed in the manner provided in this Article 6 is, together with late charges as provided in Section 6.8 and interest as provided in Section 6.9 hereof and all costs of collection, including attorney’s fees as herein provided, secured by the continuing Assessment lien granted to the Association pursuant to Section 6.1.2 above, and will bind each Lot in the hands of the Owner thereof, and such Owner’s heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors or assigns. The aforesaid lien will be superior to all other liens and charges against such Lot, except only for: (i) tax liens and governmental assessment liens; (ii) all sums secured by a Recorded first mortgage lien or Recorded first deed of trust lien of record, to the extent such lien secures sums borrowed for the acquisition or improvement of the Lot in question, (iii) home equity loans or home equity lines of credit which are secured by a Recorded second mortgage lien or Recorded second deed of trust lien of record; or (iv) as otherwise required by Applicable Law; provided that, in the case of subparagraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, such Mortgage was Recorded before the delinquent Assessment was due.

Such power will be entirely discretionary with the Board, and such subordination shall be signed by an authorized officer, agent or attorney of the Association. The Association may, at its option and without prejudice to the priority or enforceability of the Assessment lien granted hereunder, prepare a written notice of Assessment lien setting forth the amount of the unpaid indebtedness, the name of the Owner of the Lot covered by such lien and a description of the Lot. Such notice may be signed by one of the authorized officers, agents, or attorneys of the Association and will be Recorded. Each Owner, by accepting a deed or ownership interest to a Lot subject to this Declaration, will be deemed conclusively to have granted a power of sale to the Association to secure and enforce the Assessment lien granted hereunder. The Assessment liens and rights to foreclosure thereof will be in addition to and not in substitution of any other rights and remedies 40 TARASCO GARDENS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 4853-8452-1884v.2 53168-211 Doc# 20240030098 02/20/2024 04:14 PM Page 46 of 76 Lucy Adame-Clark, Bexar County Clerk — the Association may have by law and under this Declaration, including the rights of the Association to institute suit against such Owner personally obligated to pay the Assessment and/or for foreclosure of the aforesaid lien. In any foreclosure proceeding, such Owner will be

ights of the Association to institute suit against such Owner personally obligated to pay the Assessment and/or for foreclosure of the aforesaid lien. In any foreclosure proceeding, such Owner will be required to pay the costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred. The Association will have the power to bid (in cash or by credit against the amount secured by the lien) on the property at foreclosure or other legal sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, convey or otherwise deal with the same. Upon the written request of any Mortgagee, the Association will report to said Mortgagee any unpaid Assessments remaining unpaid for longer than sixty (60) days after the same are due. The lien hereunder will not be affected by the sale or transfer of any Lot; except, however, that in the event of foreclosure of any lien superior to the Assessment lien, the lien for any Assessments that were due and payable before the foreclosure sale will be extinguished, provided that past-due Assessments will be paid out of the proceeds of such foreclosure sale only to the extent that funds are available after the satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage. The provisions of the preceding sentence will not, however, relieve any subsequent Owner (including any Mortgagee or other purchaser at a foreclosure sale) from paying Assessments becoming due and payable after the foreclosure sale. Upon payment of all sums secured by a lien of the type described in this Section 6.10, the Association will upon the request of the Owner, and at such Owner’s cost, execute a release of lien relating to any lien for which written notice has been Recorded as provided above, except in circumstances in which the

on the request of the Owner, and at such Owner’s cost, execute a release of lien relating to any lien for which written notice has been Recorded as provided above, except in circumstances in which the Association has already foreclosed such lien. Such release will be signed by an authorized officer, agent, or attorney of the Association. In addition to the lien hereby retained, in the event of nonpayment by any Owner of any Assessment and after the lapse of at least twelve (12) days since such payment was due, the Association may, upon five (5) days’ prior written notice (which may run concurrently with such twelve (12) day period) to such Owner, in addition to all other rights and remedies available pursuant to Applicable Law, equity or otherwise, terminate, in such manner as the Board deems appropriate, any utility or cable service provided through the Association and not paid for directly by an Owner or Resident to the utility or service provider.

Such notice will consist of a separate mailing or hand delivery at least five (5) days prior to a stated date of disconnection, with the title “termination notice” or similar language prominently displayed on the notice. The notice will include the office or street address where the Owner or the Owner’s tenant can make arrangements for payment of the bill and for reconnection of service. Utility or cable service will not be disconnected on a day, or immediately preceding a day, when personnel are not available for the purpose of collection and reconnecting such services. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the sale or transfer of a Lot will not relieve the Owner of such Lot or such Owner’s transferee from liability for any Assessments

ecting such services. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the sale or transfer of a Lot will not relieve the Owner of such Lot or such Owner’s transferee from liability for any Assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien associated therewith. If an Owner conveys its Lot and on the date of such conveyance Assessments against the Lot remain unpaid, or said Owner owes other sums or fees under this Declaration to the Association, the Owner will pay such amounts to the Association out of the sales price of the Lot, and such sums will be paid in preference to any other charges against the Lot other than liens superior to the Assessment lien and charges in favor of the State of Texas or a political subdivision thereof for taxes on the Lot which are due and unpaid. The Owner conveying such Lot will remain personally liable for all such sums until 41 TARASCO GARDENS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 4853-8452-1884v.2 53168-211 Doc# 20240030098 02/20/2024 04:14 PM Page 47 of 76 Lucy Adame-Clark, Bexar County Clerk —_ the same are fully paid, regardless of whether the transferee of the Lot also assumes the obligation to pay such amounts. The Board may adopt an administrative transfer fee to cover the expenses associated with updating the Association’s records upon the transfer of a Lot to a third party; provided, however, that no transfer fee will be due upon the transfer of a Lot from Declarant to a third party.

Any Owner acquiring a 54 TARASCO GARDENS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 4853-8452-1884v.2 53168-211 Doc# 20240030098 02/20/2024 04:14 PM Page 60 of 76 Lucy Adame-Clark, Bexar County Clerk — Lot in reliance on one or more of the Restrictions shall assume all risks of the validity and enforceability thereof and, by acquiring the Lot, agrees to hold Declarant harmless therefrom.

11.6 Declarant Fine Authority. During the Development Period, Declarant may assess fines against an Owner for violations of the Restrictions which have been committed by an Owner, a Resident, or any guests, agents, family members, or invitees of an Owner or Resident.

The Declarant uses fines to discourage violations of the Restrictions, and to encourage compliance when a violation occurs - not to punish violators or generate revenue for the Declarant. 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 Declarant for enforcing the Restrictions. The Declarant may from time to time adopt a schedule of fines. If the violation of the Restrictions is ongoing or continuous, the fine may be assessed on a periodic basis (such as daily, monthly, or quarterly). If the violation is not ongoing, but is instead sporadic or periodic, the fine may be levied on a per occurrence basis. An Owner is liable for fines levied by the Declarant for violations

quarterly). If the violation is not ongoing, but is instead sporadic or periodic, the fine may be levied on a per occurrence basis. An Owner is liable for fines levied by the Declarant for violations of the Restrictions by the Owner, a Resident, or any guests, agents, family members or invitees of the Owner or Resident. Regardless of who commits the violation, the Declarant will direct its communications to the Owner, although the Declarant may send copies of its notices to the Residents.

A dispute regarding the Lots, Common Area, and/or Improvements can create significant financial exposure for the Association and its Members, interfere with the resale and refinancing

ng the Property.

A dispute regarding the Lots, Common Area, and/or Improvements can create significant financial exposure for the Association and its Members, interfere with the resale and refinancing of Lots, and increase strife and tension among the Owners, the Board and the Association’s management. Since disputes may have a direct effect on each Owner’s use and enjoyment of their Lot and the Common Area, this Article 12 requires Owner transparency and participation in certain circumstances. Transparency means that the Owners are informed in advance about a dispute, the proposed arrangement between the Association and a law firm or attorney who will represent the Association in the dispute, and that each Owner will have an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process prior to initiating the dispute resolution process.

12.1 Introduction and Definitions.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 12, any Claim brought by an Owner related to a residence that is subject to a warranty agreement provided by the Declarant or Homebuilder will not be subject to this Article 12 and will be governed by the warranty agreement, unless the Parties agree to have the dispute governed by this Article 12. A restrictive covenant enforcement action against an Owner that is brought by the Association, the Declarant, or another Owner, is not subject to the alternative dispute resolution procedures that would otherwise require: (1) an inspection; (2) an engineering report; (3) an owner approval vote; (4) negotiation; and (5) mediation. This Article 12 may only be amended with the prior written approval of the Declarant, the Association (acting through a Majority of the Board), and Owners holding one hundred percent (100%) of the votes in the Association. As used in this Article 12 only, the following words, when capitalized, have the following specified meanings: 12.1.1 “Claim” means: (i) Claims relating to the rights and/or duties of Declarant, the Association, or the ACC, under the Restrictions.

As provided in Section 12.8 below, a Claim must be resolved by binding arbitration.

12.3. Claim Affecting Common Areas. In accordance with Section 4.13 of this Declaration, the Association does not have the power or right to institute, defend, intervene in, settle, or compromise litigation, arbitration or other proceedings: (i) in the name of or on behalf of any Lot Owner (whether one or more); or (ii) pertaining to a Claim, as defined in Section 12.1 above, relating to the design or construction of Improvements on a Lot (whether one or more).

For avoidance of doubt, it is intended that Members holding eighty percent (80%) of the votes in the Association must approve the law firm and attorney who will prosecute the Claim and the written agreement between the Association and the law firm and/or attorney.
