Tag: LHCA Protective Covenants

On September 29, 2023, the Board announced the passage of the proposed Protective Covenant Ballot. At that time, we had received the required quorum of votes for passage. Even though we had achieved the 67% positive response, State Law required the Association to send a notice to owners that did not respond, with a ballot, to allow 20 additional days to cast their vote. That date was October 10. After that date, the Board executed the documents and provided them to our management company for filing.

The following documents have been recorded in the Official Public Records of Real Property of Harris County, Texas: First Amendment to the By-Laws of Lake Houston Community Association, recorded 01/11/2024 and First Amendment to the Kings Crossing, Section Eighteen Protective Covenants, recorded 02/02/2024.

We will now begin enforcement of the amended bylaws and amendments to the protective covenants.

If you have a question on the bylaws or protective covenants or wish to address a potential violation of these or other LHCA covenants, please contact Vickie Cain, Community Manager, Goodwin & Company, email: Vickie.Cain@goodwintx.com, Office Numbers: (281) 852-1155 or (281) 706-8952

Homeowners recently received a letter from the LHCA Board regarding proposed revisions, deletions and updates to the Lake Houston Communication Association’s By-laws and Protective Covenants. (See Below)

A list of the proposals to the By-laws:

• Article II, Section 7 and Section 8 are removals of items no longer applicable
• Article IV, Section 1. Number is amended to change that Board members must be Member of the Association.
• Article V, Section 1. Nomination is amended to remove reference to a nominating committee and incorporate electronic postings and email notification
• Article VII, Section 1(j) removed as no longer applicable
• Article VIII, Section 8(c) and Section 8(d) remove reference to “Corporate Seal”
• Article XVI, Section 2 Add Board my set the fiscal year to align with accounting services provider

A list of the proposals to the Protective Covenants

• Article II, Section 2 adds wordage on garage sale, rummage sale, moving sale or similar activity, Association sponsored community-wide garage, and Estate sales.
• Article II, Section 18 updates garbage cans or other trash receptables location and time of curb placement.
• Article VI, Section 4 and Section 5 removed as no longer applicable
• Article VI, Section 8 updates Protective Covenants to include leasing and associated guidelines.

The only way these proposed revisions, deletions and updates will be adopted for the protective covenants is with the approval of 67% of the homeowners, one vote per address.

The additions are to address items that are not specifically addressed in either the by-laws or protective covenants and the Board considers them to be in the best interest of our neighborhood. We appreciate your support and encourage you to complete the “First Amendment Ballot” with a FOR Amendment by Tuesday, September 26, 2023.
