Also, some of the bolded items in this article was informational for residents, at that time, to have a way to end the deed restrictions, completely.\u00a0 It would have been hard, but it was a way.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Texas Property Code 211 could significantly change the Deed Restriction Modification Procedure (<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">DRMP<\/span><\/strong>) for Holiday Lake Estates residents with the passing of SB1852 in 2015. This is when the county areas surrounding Lake Livingston were included in the dictates set forth in 211.004 .\u00a0 Deed Restriction Modification Procedures (<strong>DRMP<\/strong>) are the way that your HOA Board, and voting resident owners, can make changes to your Deed Restrictions about things such as building requirements, fines, parking, etc..<\/p>\n<p>Our current HLECC Deed Restrictions, filed December 4,1961, Volume 192, Page 293, at the Polk County Clerk&#8217;s office, give HLECC a method of changing our Deed Restrictions with a majority vote of lot\/property owners. The restrictions can be changed or completely eliminated by enforcing the rule set down in the first paragraph. It states that they will be in place for a period of 20 years, which would take us to 1981. After that time, they will be <strong>automatically extended<\/strong> for a period of 10 years (1991, 2001, 2011, 2021, etc) <strong>UNLESS a majority of lot owners<\/strong> choose to change or revoke them prior to the given 10 year time limits. Obviously, a vote of <strong>ALL<\/strong> current lot owners would need to be taken and a <strong>MAJORITY OF ALL<\/strong> vote would be required to do this.\u00a0 This means out of the number of lots in HLE would need over half of them to vote yes. The last time I checked, there were right around 1,000 lots in HLE.\u00a0 Some are reserves that are not used for any residences, so they may not count.<\/p>\n<p>Per <strong>211.004<\/strong>, the changes in 211 can be used for one purpose, only &#8211; to adopt a procedure that would allow HOA Boards to change or modify Deed Restrictions without this majority or unanimous vote. The method that must be used is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, the Board must sit down and draft up the <strong>Deed Restriction Modification Procedure <span style=\"color: #000000;\">(DRMP<\/span><\/strong>). Then, a vote of the entire governing body (Board) must be taken. If 2\/3 of the Board members agree to the procedure, the next step can begin.<\/li>\n<li>Next, the voting\/notification procedure can begin. A notification must be mailed out to all property owners. This notification must be <strong>mailed out<\/strong> 30 days prior to the voting deadline and it must include the exact wording of the <strong>DRMP<\/strong> and the date\/time in which ballots must be received. Oddly enough, the way 211 is written, the notification and the ballot could potentially be mailed out separately. All costs for these mailings will be paid by the HOA.<\/li>\n<li>Ballots must be sent out to each property owner. IMHO, this should be done along with <strong>DRMP<\/strong> notification, to not extend time or increase costs. This ballot must be secret and may not be counted <strong>unless it is placed inside an unmarked envelope that is placed inside another envelope that bears the signature and printed name of the property owner casting the enclosed ballot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The property owner ballots must now be returned, within the deadline. A property owner can only submit one ballot, regardless of how many lots they own. If multiple persons own that given property, only one vote can be cast. Lien holders cannot submit a vote.<\/li>\n<li>When ballots are received, they must go to a Board selected canvassing committee Chairperson &amp; committee members to be counted and certified.\u00a0 A 2\/3 <em>&#8216;in favor of&#8217;<\/em> vote must\u00a0 be received to <em>&#8216;pass&#8217;<\/em> the <strong>DRMP<\/strong>.\u00a0 Hopefully, the Board will report all results to the residents.<\/li>\n<li>If the <strong>DRMP<\/strong> is passed, the Deed Restriction document must be modified, with the exact wording of the <strong>DRMP<\/strong> submitted for a vote, and filed at the County Clerk&#8217;s office.\u00a0 Once that <strong>DRMP<\/strong> has been changed, by a vote of lot owners, 211 will no longer be able to be used, for this purpose.<\/li>\n<li>If the <strong>DRMP<\/strong> is NOT passed, the HOA Board may not submit the same amendment procedure to a vote under this section on or before the first anniversary of the date the previous votes on the procedure were certified.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To read the entire 211 text, click on this <a href=\"https:\/\/statutes.capitol.texas.gov\/Docs\/PR\/htm\/PR.211.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>&#8211;&gt;
