Violations of either City of Dallas or BTW Codes and Covenants should be reported to the Homeowners' Association's Architecture Control Committee (a.k.a Architecture, Codes and Covenants). This makes it is easier for them to know and work through one person. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. The details on specific regulations vary slightly from phase to phase, so please check your closing documents for rules governing your particular phase.  The most common rules are paraphrased below.

 

1. All lots shall be used for residential purposes only. There shall be no more than one detached single family residence per lot. No residence may exceed two stories in height.
2. Boats, pick-up campers, travel trailers, motor homes or any other type of recreational vehicle may not be parked on the public street on which lots front, or between such lot and the front of any residence on said lot. No vehicle of this type shall, at any time, be used as a residence or office on any lot either temporarily or permanently.
3. Trucks with tonnage in excess of one ton and any vehicles with painted advertisement shall not be permitted to park overnight on the streets, driveways, or otherwise within the addition at any time.

Enforcement of these covenants and restrictions shall be by any proceeding at law or in equity against any person or persons violating or attempting to violate them, or to recover damages, or to enforce any lien created by these covenants, and failure by the Declarant, the Association or any owner to enforce any covenant or restriction herein contained shall in no event be deemed as a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.
