During the April 2024 Annual Lakewood Homeowners’ meeting, a proposal to implement a fine policy for HOA violations did not pass.  Though differing opinions were expressed at the meeting, there was common agreement on the importance of maintaining the value of our homes. Most owners don’t want junk cars in the cul-de-sacs, major appliances on the front porches or unsightly trash cans in front of garages. Our CCRs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) are promises made by each property owner (to the others) that they will not do such things.

With that commonality in mind, the Board formed the CCR Review Committee and tasked the six volunteer members, all Lakewood property owners, to review the CCRs and other HOA governing documents, make recommendations on how the CCRs can be brought up to date, and to provide options to improve compliance and transparency. 

How can you be involved?

The Committee wants to collect property owner feedback through surveys and town halls, and intends to provide educational material on our Governing Documents and Section 209 of Texas state law. State law protects homeowners by requiring that all HOA Boards be transparent and follow consistent and clearly defined processes. A plain English list of what Home Owners’ Associations can and can’t do can be found here.

In addition, the current Lakewood CCRs and other governing documents can be found here:
