Lots 12-21 and Lots 2S-33, Block One (1)
Lots 12-19 and Lots 33-36, Block Three (3)

Additional Lots within the Subdivision may be added to the Lot Drainage System as determined reasonable and necessary by the Declarant or the Association.

An electric distribution system will be installed within the Subdivision which will be designated herein as Underground Residential Subdivision and which underground service area embraces all of the Lots of the Subdivision. This electrical distribution system may consist of overhead primary feeder circuits constructed on wood or steel poles, single or three phase, as well as underground primary and secondary circuits, pad mounted or other types of transformers, junction boxes, and such other appurtenances as shall be necessary to make underground service available. The Owner of each Lot containing a single dwelling unit shall, at his or its own cost, furnish, install, own and maintain (all in accordance with the requirements of local governing authorities and the National Electrical Code) the underground service cable and appurtenances from the point of electric company’s metering at the structure to the point of attachment at such company’s installed transformers or energized secondary junction boxes, such point of attachment to be made available by the electric company at a point designated by such company at the property line of each Lot. The electric company furnishing service shall make the necessary connections at said point of attachment and at the meter. Declarant has either by designation on the Plat of the Subdivision or by separate instrument granted or will grant necessary easements to the electric company providing for the installation, maintenance and operation of its electric distribution system and has also granted or will grant to the various homeowners reciprocal easements, providing for access to the area occupied by and centered on the service wires of the various homeowners to permit installation, repair and maintenance of each homeowner’s owned, and installed service wires. In addition, the Owner of each Lot containing a single dwelling unit shall at his or its own cost, furnish, install, own and maintain a meter loop (in accordance with the then current Standards and Specifications of the electric company furnishing service) for the location and installation of the meter of such electric company for each dwelling unit involved. For so long as underground service is maintained in the Underground Residential Subdivision, the electric service to each dwelling unit therein shall be underground, uniform  in character and exclusively of the type known as single phase, 120/240 volt, three wire, 60 cycle, alternating current.

The electric company (Company) has installed the underground electric distribution system in the Underground Residential Subdivision at no cost to Declarant (except for certain conduits, where applicable, and except as hereinafter provided) upon Declarant’s representation that the Underground Residential Subdivision is being developed for residential homes, all of which are designed to be permanently located where originally constructed (such category of dwelling units expressly to exclude mobile homes) which are built for sale or rent. Therefore, should the plans of the Declarant or the Lot Owners in the Underground Residential Subdivision be changed so as to permit the erection therein of one or more mobile homes, Company shall not be obligated to provide electric service to any such mobile home unless (a) Declarant has paid to the Company an amount representing the excess in cost, for the entire Underground Residential Subdivision, of the underground distribution system over the cost of equivalent overhead facilities to serve such Subdivision or (b) the Owner of each affected Lot, or the applicant for service to any mobile home, shall pay to the Company the sum of (1) $1.75 per front lot foot, it having been agreed that such amount reasonably represents the excess in cost of the underground distribution system to serve such Lot or dwelling unit over the cost of equivalent overhead facilities to serve such Lot or dwelling unit, plus (2) the cost of rearranging, and adding any electric facilities serving such Lot, which arrangement and/or addition is determined by Company to be necessary.

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs do not apply to any future residential development in Reserve(s) shown on the plat of the Subdivision, as such plat exists at the execution of the agreement for underground electric service between the electric company and Declarant or thereafter. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, if a lot owner in a, former Reserve undertakes some action which would have invoked the above per front lot foot payment if such action had been undertaken in the Underground Residential Subdivision, such Owner or applicant for service shall pay the electric company $1.75 per front lot foot, unless Declarant has paid the electric company as above described. The provisions of tie two preceding paragraphs do not apply to any future nonresidential development in such Reserve(s).

Nothing contained in this Section 2.8 shall be construed to allow the Owner of each Lot to maintain more than one single family residence on a single Lot or to violate any of the provisions of the Restrictions.

Reliant-Entex, Inc. has agreed to provide natural gas service to all Lots in the Subdivision, provided certain minimum usage is made of the service. Pursuant to the contract providing such service, all Residences shall have a minimum of gas water heating, and gas central comfort heating, or pay a non-utilization fee. If, however, any Residence completed in the Subdivision does not utilize both gas water heating and gas central comfort heating appliances, then the Owner of such Residence at the time of constructing such improvements shall pay to Reliant-Entex, Inc. the non-utilization of gas facilities charge set by Reliant-Entex, Inc. for such Residence. This non-utilization charge shall be due thirty (30) days from completion of the non-utilizing Residence. In the event this non-utilization charge is not paid timely by the Owner of the non-utilizing Residence, after demand is made for such payment, the Declarant or Association may, at their option, pay such charge and the payment so made, if any, shall be secured by the lien securing the payment of the Annual Maintenance Charge described in the Restrictions, which lien shall only be extinguished by payment of such charge, plus interest on the amount paid by the Declarant or the Association until Declarant or the Association is reimbursed therefore at the lesser of: (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

The Association shall maintain, repair and replace any entry marker installed or to be installed by Declarant or the Association for the benefit of the Subdivision at the entrance of the Subdivision. Such entry rnarker, if any, shall be installed and maintained in accordance with all applicable regulations and ordinances, and the costs of such maintenance, repair and replacement shall be borne by the Association.

The Declarant and/or the Association shall have the power to grant, convey, dedicate or transfer any Common Areas or facilities to any public or governmental agency or authority for such purposes and subject to such terms and conditions as the Declarant and/or the Association shall deem appropriate, which power may be exercised (i) by Declarant prior to the first meeting of Members of the Association held in accordance with Sec. 3.4 herein, and (ii) by the Association from and after the first meeting of Members of the Association held in accordance with Sec. 3.4 herein, with the approval of not less than a majority of the members of the Association.

Section 3.1 Management by the Association.

The affairs of the Subdivision shall be administered by the Association. The Association shall have the right, power and obligation to provide the management, repair, replacement, administration, insuring and operation of the Subdivision as herein provided for and as provided for in the By-Laws and in the Rules and Regulations. The business and affairs of the Association shall be managed by its Board of Directors. The Declarant shall determine the number of directors and appoint, dismiss and reappoint all of the members of the Association’s Board of Directors to insure the stability of the Association and to administer the Association’s and the Subdivision’s affairs, until the first meeting of the Members of the Association is held in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof and a Board of Directors is elected. The Board of Directors elected at the first meeting of Members of the Association is herein called the “First Elected Board.” The Board of Directors appointed by Declarant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1 herein referred to as the “Appointed Board."

The Appointed Board may engage the Declarant or any entity, whether or not affiliated with Declarant, to perform the day to day functions of the Association and to provide for the maintenance, repair, replacement, administration and operation of the Subdivision. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Association, acting through the Board, shall be entitled to enter into such contracts and agreements concerning the Subdivision as the Board deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to maintain, insure and. operate the Subdivision as a viable single family residential development, including, without limitation, the right to grant utility and other easements, for uses the Board shall deem appropriate and the right to enter into agreements with adjoining or nearby land owners with governmental entities or matters of maintenance, trash pickup, repair, administration, security, traffic, or other matters of mutual interest.

Each Owner, including Declarant during the period of time in which Declarant owns any Lot, shall be a Member in the Association and such membership shall terminate automatically when such ownership ceases. Upon the transfer of ownership of a Lot, however achieved, the then Owner thereof shall, concurrently with such transfer, become a Member of the Association.

Each Member, including Declarant, shall have a vote or votes in the Association as set forth in these Restrictions and in the By-Laws. The total voting power shall be the sum of the votes that correspond to all of the Lots, with all votes in the Association except as provided in these Restrictions and the By-Laws to be on the basis of one vote for each Lot. In the event that ownership interests in a Lot are owned by more that one Member of the Association, such Members shall exercise their right to vote in such manner as they may among themselves determine, but in no event shall more than one vote be cast for each Lot. Such Owners shall appoint some of them as the Member who shall be entitled to exercise the vote of that Lot at any meeting of the Association. Such designation shall be made in writing to the Board and shall be revocable at any time by actual written notice to the Board. The Board shall be entitled to rely on any such designation until written notice revoking such designation is received by the Board. In the event that a Lot is owned by more than one Member of the Association and no single Member is designated to vote on behalf of the Members shall be allowed to vote. All Members of the Association may attend meetings of the Association and all voting Members may exercise their vote at such meetings either in person or by proxy. The Declarant may exercise the voting rights with respect to Lots owned by it.

The Association shall initially have two classes of voting memberships.

a) Class "A" Members. Shall be all Owners with the exception of the Declarant and shall be entitled to one vote for each Lot in which they hold the interest required for Membership by Section 3.2 above.

b) Class "B" Member. Shall be Declarant and shall be entitled to three (3) votes for each Lot in which they hold the interest required for Membership by Section 3.2. Class B membership shall cease and be converted to Class A membership on the happening of either of the following events: i) when the total votes in the Class A membership equals the total votes outstanding in the Class B membership; or ii) four (4) years from the date hereof.

a) The first meeting of the Members of the Association shall be held when called by the Appointed Board upon no less than ten (10) and no more that fifty (50) days prior written notice to the Members. Such written notice must be given not later than thirty (30) days after one hundred twelve (112) of the one hundred forty (140) Lots shown on the Plat have been sold by the Declarant, a deed recorded in the Office of the County Clerk of Harris County. The First Elected Board shall be elected at the first meeting of the Members of the Association.

b) Thereafter, annual and special meetings of the Members of the Association shall be held at such place and time and on such dates as shall be specified in the By-Laws.

The Board of Directors shall be elected and shall meet in the manner set forth in the By-Laws.

In addition to its other powers conferred by law or hereunder, the Board shall be empowered to create procedures for resolving disputes between Owners and the Board of the Association, including appointment of committees to consider and recommend resolution of or to resolve any disputes.

Declarant or the Board may retain, hire, employ or contract- with such professional management as the Board deems appropriate to perform the day to day functions of the Association and to provide for the construction, maintenance, repair, landscaping, insuring, administration and operation of the Association as provided for herein and as provided for in the By-Laws.

Any action, inaction or omission by the Board made or taken in good faith shall not subject the Board or any individual member of the Board to any liability to the Association, its Members or any other party.

The Association shall indemnify any person who serves as a member of the Board or a Committee of the Association against expenses, including costs and reasonable attorney fees, actually and necessarily incurred by such person, and any amount paid in satisfaction of a judgment, in connection with any action, suit or proceedings in which he is made a party by reason of being or having been such a member of the Board or Committee, except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct iii the performance of his duties.

Each Lot shall be subject to an Annual Maintenance Charge of Three Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($300.00) per year. The Annual Maintenance Charge may be collected in quarterly installments by the Board, in its sole discretion. The amount of the Annual Maintenance Charge for each Lot may be increased prospectively only, or decreased, retroactively or prospectively, by the Board from time to time. However, if any such change increases the Annual Maintenance Charge by more than twenty percent (20%) of the amount of Annual Maintenance Charge prior to such change, the change must be approved by a majority of the Owners of Lots in the subdivision by written vote, or by a majority of Members present at a duly called meeting. The Annual Maintenance Charge and any Special Assessments, provided for in Section 4.4 hereof, shall be uniform as to each Lot, on a Lot by Lot basis, and shall not be based on the size of each Lot or number of square feet contained in each.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, for the period of time from the initial sale of a Lot by Declarant until the completion of construction of a Residence upon a Lot, the Annual Maintenance Charge for such Lot shall be fifty percent (50%) of the Annual Maintenance Charge. Furthermore, Declarant will subsidize as reasonably necessary the Maintenance Fund in an amount not to exceed $150.00 per Lot then owned by Declarant and will not be responsible for paying the Annual Maintenance Charge while it owns any Lots.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Restrictions, until the election of the First Elected Board, Declarant shall not be responsible for payment of the Annual Maintenance Charge with respect to Lots owned by Declarant. Declarant shall, however, with respect to such period of time until such election, be responsible for payment to the Association of the sum, from time to time, equal to the. expenses incurred by the. Association, on an accrual basis, less the Annual Maintenance Charges paid from time to time by the Lot Owners other than Declarant. From and after the election of the First Elected Board, Declarant shall not be responsible for any deficit between expenses incurred by the Association and the Annual Maintenance Charges paid by the Owners, but Declarant shall be responsible for paying the full 100% Annual Maintenance Charge with respect to the Lots owned by Declarant thereafter from time to time.

The Annual Maintenance Charges collected by the Board shall be paid into the Maintenance Fund and shall be held, managed, invested and expended by the Board, at its discretion, for the benefit of the Subdivision and the Owners of Lots therein. The Board shall, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, expend the Maintenance Fund for the administration, management, repair, replacement, operation and insuring of the Subdivision and Association and for the performance of the duties of the Board and the Association as set forth herein; for the enforcement of these Restrictions by action at law or in equity, or otherwise, and the payment of court costs as well as reasonable and necessary legal fees; and for all other purposes that are, in the discretion of the Board, desirable in order to maintain the character and value of the Subdivision and the Lots therein. The Board and its individual members shall not be liable to any person as a result of action taken by the Board with respect to the Maintenance Fund, except for willful misdeeds.

If the Board at any time, or from time to time, determines that the Annual Maintenance Charges assessed for any period are insufficient to provide for the continued operation of the Subdivision and the performance by the Board and the Association of its duties hereunder, then the Board shall have the authority to levy such special assessments ("Special Assessments") as it shall deem necessary to provide for such continued maintenance and operation. A Special Assessment up to ten percent (10%) of the current Annual Maintenance Charge may be assessed without consent of the Members, but only one Special Assessment may be assessed without consent in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. No Special Assessment in excess of ten percent (10%) of the current Annual Maintenance Charge shall be effective until the same is approved in writing by Members holding at least a majority of the votes in the Association, or by a majority present at any regular or special meeting of ‘the Members. Any such Special Assessment shall be payable (and the payment thereof may be enforced) in the manner herein specified for the payment of the Annual Maintenance Charges.

The Annual Maintenance Charge assessed against each Owner shall be due and payable, in advance, on the date of the sale of such Lot by Declarant for that portion of the calendar year remaining, and on the second (2nd) day of January of each calendar year thereafter. Any such amount not paid and received by the thirtieth (3 0th) day of January of each year thereafter shall be deemed delinquent, and, without notice, shall bear interest at a rate set by the Board not in excess of’ the highest contract rate per annum allowed by law from the date originally due until paid, but if no rate is set, then at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. The Board, at its option, may impose late charges on delinquent payments. Notwithstanding the above, the Board, in its sole discretion, may allow the payment of the Annual Maintenance Charge to be made in quarterly installments.

To secure the payment of the Annual Maintenance Charge, Special Assessments levied hereunder and any other sums due hereunder (including, without limitation, interest, late fees or delinquency charges), a vendor’s lien and superior title shall be and is hereby reserved in and to each Lot and Residence and assigned to the Association, without recourse, which lien shall be enforceable as hereinafter set forth by the Association, or the Board, on behalf of the Association. The collection of such Annual Maintenance Charge and other sums due hereunder may, in addition to any other applicable method at law or in equity, be enforced by suit for a money judgment and in the event of such suit, the expense incurred in collecting such delinquent amounts, including interest, costs and attorney’s fees shall be chargeable to and be a personal obligation of the defaulting Owner. The voting right of any Owner in default in the payment of the Annual Maintenance Charge, or other charge owing hereunder for which an Owner is liable, may be revoked by action of the Board for the period during which such default exists.

Notice of the lien referred to in this Section 4.5 may be given by the recordation in the Office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas, of an affidavit, duly executed, sworn to and acknowledged by an officer of the Association, setting forth the amount owed, the name of the Owner or Owners of the affected Lot, according to the books and records of the Association; and the legal description of such Lot.

Each Owner, by acceptance of a deed to his Lot, hereby expressly recognizes the existence of such lien as being prior to his ownership of such Lot and. hereby vests in the Board the right and power to bring all actions against such Owner or Owners personally for the collection of such unpaid Annual Maintenance Charge or Special Assessments levied hereunder and other sums due hereunder as a debt, and to enforce the aforesaid lien by all methods available for the enforcement of such liens, both judicially and by non-judicial foreclosure pursuant to Section 51.002 of the Texas• Property Code (as same may be amended or revised from time to time hereafter) and in addition to and in connection therewith, by acceptance of .the deed to his Lot, each Owner expressly GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELL AND CONVEYS to the President and/or Vice President of the Association from time to time serving, as Trustee (and to any substitute or successor trustee as hereinafter provided for) such Owner’s Lot, and all rights appurtenant thereto, in trust, for that purpose of securing the aforesaid Annual Maintenance Charge or Special Assessments levied hereunder, and other sums due hereunder remaining unpaid hereunder from time to time. The Trustee herein designated may be changed for any reason and at any time and from time to time by execution of an instrument in writing signed by the President or a Vice President of the Association and attested to by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Association and filed in the Office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas. In the event of the election by the Board to foreclose the lien herein provided for non payment of sums secured by such lien, then it shall be the duty of the Trustee, or his successor, as hereinabove provided, at the request of the Board (which request shall be presumed) to enforce this trust and to sell such Lot, and all rights appurtenant thereto, at the door of the County Courthouse of Harris County, Texas, on the first Tuesday in any month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to the highest bidder for public vendue after the trustee and the Board, respectively, shall have given notice of the proposed sale in the manner hereinafter set forth and to make due conveyance to purchaser or purchasers, with general warranty of title to such purchaser or purchasers binding upon the Owner or Owners of such Lot and his heirs, executors, administrators and successors. The Trustee shall give notice of such proposed sale by posting a written notice of time, place and terms of the sale for at least twenty-one (21) consecutive days preceding the date of sale at the Courthouse door of Harris County, Texas, and further comply with all requirements of the Texas Property Code as amended, and in addition, the Board shall serve Written notice at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale or the proposed sale by certified mail on each of such Owner or Owners according to the records of the Association. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a post-paid wrapper, properly addressed to such Owner or Owners, at the most recent address as shown by the records of the Association, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of such service.

At any foreclosure, judicial or non-judicial, the Association shall be entitled to bid up to the amount of the sum secured by its lien, together with costs and attorney’s fees, and to apply as a cash credit against its bid all gums due to the Association covered by the lien foreclosed. From and after any such foreclosure the occupants of such Lot shall be required to pay a reasonable rent for the use of such Lot and such occupancy shall constitute a tenancy-at-sufferance, and the purchaser at such foreclosure sale shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect such rents and further, shall be entitled to sue for recovery of possession of such Lot by forcible detainer without further notice.

It is the intent of the provisions of this Section to comply with the provisions of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, relating to non-judicial sales by power of sale and, in the event of the subsequent amendment of such Section 51.002, which amendment is applicable hereto, the President of the Association, acting without, joinder of any other Owner or Mortgagee or other person may, by amendment to these Restrictions filed. in the Office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas, amend the provisions hereof so as to comply with such amendments to Section 51.002.

The liens described in Section 4.5 hereof and the superior title herein reserved shall be deemed subordinate to a first lien or other. liens of any bona fide third party lender, including Declarant, which may have heretofore lent or may hereafter lend money in good faith for the purchase or improvement of any Lot and any renewal, extension, rearrangement or refinancing thereof. Each such mortgagee of a mortgage encumbering a Lot who obtains title to such Lot pursuant to the, remedies provided in the deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure shall take title to the Lot free and clear of any claims for unpaid Annual Maintenance Charges or other charges or assessments against such Lot which accrued prior to the time such holder acquires title to’ such Lot. No such sale or transfer shall relieve such holder acquiring title to a Lot from liability for any Annual Maintenance Charge or other charges or assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof. Any other sale or transfer of a Lot shall not affect the Association’s lien for Annual Maintenance Charges or other charges or assessments.

The Board may obtain insurance for the Subdivision, the Association and the Board in such kinds and amounts as the Board shall deem desirable and shall obtain any performance or maintenance bonds required by any municipality for streets.

Each Owner and the Association agree to and hereby waive all rights of subrogation against the Declarant that they may have now or in the future under or with respect to any insurance policies.

Each Owner shall be responsible for insuring his Lot and his Residence, its contents and furnishings. Each Owner, at his own cost and expense, should carry an individual policy of liability insurance insuring against the liability of such Owner.

In the event of a fire or other casualty causing damage or destruction to a Residence, the Owner of such damaged or destroyed Residence shall, within three (3) months after such fire or casualty, contract to repair or reconstruct the damaged portion of such Residence and shall cause such Residence to be fully repaired or reconstructed iii accordance with the original Plans therefor, or in accordance with new Plans presented to and approved by the Board in accordance with the requirement and procedure set forth in Section 2.2 above, and promptly shall commence repairing or reconstructing such Residence, to the end that the Residence shall not remain in a partly finished condition any longer than reasonably necessary for completion thereof. Alternatively, such damaged or destroyed Residence shall be razed and the Lot restored as nearly as possible to its prior condition.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Restrictions, until the election of the First Elected Board, the Declarant shall have and hereby reserves the right at any time, without the joinder or consent of any other party or entity, to amend these Restrictions by an instrument in writing duly signed, acknowledged and filed for record in the Office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas, so long as such amendment will not be inconsistent with the general overall plan for the development of the Subdivision.

The By-Laws of the Association may be amended as therein set forth.

These Restrictions shall remain in full force and effect until January 1, 2020, and shall be extended automatically for successive ten (10) year periods; provided, however, that these Restrictions may be terminated on January 1, 2020, or on the commencement of any successive ten (10) year period, by filing for record in the Office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas, an instrument in writing signed by Members having not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total votes in the Association that may be cast thereupon.

In the event of the invalidity or partial invalidity or partial unenforceability of any provision or a portion of these Restrictions, the remainder of these Restrictions shall remain in full force and effect.

The Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit “B" may be amended from time to time by the Board.
