The primary functions of the HOA are to maintain the common grounds, such as care and landscaping of the medians, and to enforce the covenants and deed restrictions. In addition, HOA board members decide how best to spend any additional funds. Recent projects have ranged from hosting an annual picnic to applying for matching grants used for improving the surrounding greenways.

A sizeable amount of the dues pays for a property manager. The property manager serves many functions, such as being the main contact point for issues and complaints, handling office affairs like billing and collecting dues, monitoring compliance with deed restrictions, and a host of other items. In short, the property manager is a full time representative for the board of directors and may be asked by the board to do many things.

Homeowners Association (HOA) dues are definitely high in Keystone. This is due to the high maintenance costs in the Keystone area. Cold weather most of the year is hard on building exteriors and snow removal is a big expense. If the property has a pool or Jacuzzi tub, costs are high for maintaining them...especially if they are located outdoors. The closer you are to the slopes in Keystone, and the more amenities that are available at the property, the higher the cost.

The developer formed the Gleneagles HOA before any houses were built in the subdivision. The developer controlled the HOA until a certain percentage of homes were completed. Control of the HOA was then turned over to a board of directors made up of residents of Gleneagles that were elected at the first annual meeting in January 2003.

Yes. The deed for each property in Gleneagles ties the lot to the HOA Master Declaration. When you sign the deed of ownership for your property, you become a member of the Gleneagles HOA. This inclusion of HOA membership into the deed was planned by the developer so that all homes would be part of the HOA.

The HOA holds an Annual Meeting of the Membership in the winter. Regular meetings of the HOA Board are held monthly, usually on the fourth Thursday at 7:00 pm. All meetings are held on-site in the ground floor office at the east end of Whitechapel Avenue (462 Whitechapel).

The HOA Board of Directors consists of five members elected by the membership to two-year terms of office.

If you simply want to see the statutes that apply, you can read the following chapters of the Texas Property Code: The chapters are actually fairly short and very eye-opening, especially Chapter 204. You can find this in the library or on-line.

It depends, but the answer in the real world is almost always "YES." It depends in particular where you live. Property Code Chapter 204 is the determinative factor for how we can answer that question. Property Code Chapter 204 applies only to Harris County and not to any other county in Texas. Often, the Articles of Incorporation, or the Deed Restrictions or the By-laws of an HOA give the HOA architectural control over homes and other structures in the neighborhood.
