Reata’s Covenants

One very important part of the covenants is a requirement that all structures (fences, barns, well houses --- any human made object) must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) prior to construction.

Some Key Restrictions

  • Single family residential with one house per lot.
  • Houses must be 2,500 square feet or larger.
  • The front of houses must be 100% masonry, and the remainder of the house must have 85% masonry.
  • Garages must not face the street.
  • Horses are allowed (one per acre).
  • Trailers, boats, and RVs must be garaged.
  • Annual assessments are $300 per lot, regardless of lot size; however, the membership can vote to increase the annual assessment.

Read the covenants as filed with the Parker County Clerk’s Office.

Note:  The covenants contain the legal version of Reata's restrictions, but the following documents are an easy-to-read version of Reata's restrictions, guidelines, and rules.
