Declaration Of Covenants And Restrictions

These documents were written by Midway Road Associates, Ltd, the developer of Glen Meadows on January 13, 1992. They are filed of record in the Collin County, Texas Deed Records under file # 92-0002532. The Collin County Courthouse is located in McKinney Texas.

When someone buys a home in any subdivision, the title insurance company where they close the real estate transaction does a property search to discover liens, deeds, restrictive covenants, etc. and then issues a title insurance policy insuring good and feasible title for each home owner in order for the sale to consummate; that is when the homebuyer is borrowing money to buy the property. Most all sales include a title policy. The title company is supposed to provide a copy of the 'Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions' to any customer seeking a title insurance policy. It is provided to the new homebuyer along with the title commitment, which the State of Texas and/or purchase contract requires the title company todeliver to the buyer within 20 days after the effective date of the contract. All owners in Glen Meadows should have a copy of the 'Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions' as a result of purchasing their property.

It is recommeded that home owners wishing a copy of the 'Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions' do one of two things:

1. Look in the title company folder given at closing or look at the title commitment package sent to you prior to closing.

2. Contact the title company where you consummated the purchase of your property, and ask them for a copy of this document.

It is not the responsibility of the homeowners association to provide this information. In fact, the State of Texas allows accredited home owner associations to charge up to $250 to provide the subdivision information to a requesting party. This is usually the case when a property sells and the association is mandatory.
