written approval of the Architectural Committee.</div> <bR> <div>      4.02.     <U>Use</U>.  All Lots, unless dedicated to the Association as Common Area and Facilities, </div> <div>                   shall be improved and used solely for single family residential use, inclusive of an  </div> <div>                   attached private garage for not less than two (2) cars nor more than three (3) cars, </div> <div>                   fencing and such other Improvements as are necessary or customarily incident to </div> <div>                   residential use.  Carports shall not be permitted.  For purposes of these </div> <div>                   Restrictions, “single family” shall mean a group of persons related by blood, </div> <div>                   marriage or adoption and shall also include foster children and domestic servants.</div> <bR> <div>      4.03.     <U>Rentals</U>.  Nothing in this Declaration shall prevent the rental of any Lot and the </div> <div>                   Improvements thereon by the Owner thereof for residential purposes; provided that </div> <div>                   all rentals must be for terms of at least six (6) months.</div> <bR> <div>      4.04.     <U>Dwelling / Accessory Building Height</U>.  No single family dwelling greater than two </div> <div>                   (2) stories or thirty-five (35) feet in height may be constructed on any Lot without </div> <div>                   the prior written approval of the Architectural Committee.  No permitted accessory </div> <div>                   building shall be located nearer than seven and one-half feet (7.5') to an interior Lot </div> <div>                   line or exceed six feet (6') in height.</div> <bR> <div>      4.05.     <U>Fences and Sidewalks</U>.  Fences shall be six (6) feet in height and shall be </div> <div>                   constructed with #1 grade cedar pickets and with treated pine or cedar railings and </div> <div>                   posts; provided, however, that all Lots which abut a railroad right of way will have </div> <div>                   fences which are eight feet (8') in height.  All Lots shall be fenced so that the fence </div> <div>                   screens any air conditioning or other equipment on the exterior of the house, and, </div> <div>                   with respect to any portion of a wood fence which faces any existing or proposed </div> <div>                   street, the slats shall face the street.  All other portions of such wood fencing shall </div> <div>                   be fenced with the slats alternating by section of the fence (a section being each </div> <div>                   portion of the fence between support poles), with the slats in one section facing to </div> <div>                   the interior of the Lot and the slats in the next section facing to the exterior of the </div> <div>                   Lot.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the portion of the fence on any Lot which </div> <div>                   abuts Lot 89, Block B, Quest Village Section 4 (the “Library Tract”), or on any Lot </div> <div>                   which abuts land which is identified on the Plat as a drainage easement, open space </div> <div>                   or parkland, all slats shall face the Library Tract or such drainage easement, open </div> <div>                   or parkland (as the case may be).  A fencing plan for each Lot shall be submitted as </div> <div>                   part of the Plans and Specifications.  In no event shall any fence or wall be erected, </div> <div>                   placed or altered on a Lot nearer to the front street than the front wall of the single </div> <div>                   family dwelling which is located on the Lot and no hedge may be installed or </div> <div>                   maintained more than three (3) feet in front of the wall of the single family dwelling </div> <div>                   which is located on the Lot and closest to the front property line of the Lot.  The </div> <div>                   Owner of each Lot shall construct, at its sole cost and expense and prior to </div> <div>                   occupying any improvement located on the Lot, a concrete sidewalk, located and </div> <div>                   designed in conformance with the Plat, to the extent the Plat requires a sidewalk on </div> <div>                   such Owner's Lot.  The provision in the foregoing sentence may not be amended or </div> <div>                   altered without the express written consent of the Planning Department of Cedar </div> <div>                   Park, Texas.</div> <bR> <div>      4.06.     <U>Dwelling Size; Building

                enclosed living space, exclusive of porches (open or covered), decks, and garages.  </div> <div>                   All building materials shall be approved by the Architectural Committee, and only </div> <div>                   new building materials (except for used brick) shall be used for constructing any </div> <div>                   Improvements.  Exposed metal roof decks which reflect light in a glaring manner </div> <div>                   such as galvanized steel sheets are specifically prohibited.  Other roofing materials </div> <div>                   may be used with the prior written consent of the Architectural Committee, which </div> <div>                   may specify a minimum quality or grade of materials.  All projections from a </div> <div>                   dwelling or other structure, including but not limited to chimney flues, vents, gutters, </div> <div>                   downspouts, utility boxes, porches, railings and exterior stairways shall match the </div> <div>                   color of the surface from which they project, or shall be of a color approved by the </div> <div>                   Architectural Committee.  No highly reflective finishes (other than glass, which may </div> <div>                   not be mirrored) shall be used on exterior surfaces (other than surfaces of hardware </div> <div>                   fixtures), including, without limitation, the exterior surfaces of any Improvements.</div> <bR> <div>   </div> <div>      The masonry requirements for single and two-story dwellings shall be as follows:</div> <bR> <div>                   The exterior of each structure built upon any Lot shall be of at least  </div> <div>                   fifty percent (50%) masonry veneer construction, exclusive of roofs, </div> <div>                   eaves, soffits, windows, doors, gables, garage doors and trim </div> <div>                   work. On any Lot which abuts Discovery Boulevard, no vertical </div> <div>                   siding shall be allowed on any Improvement wall which faces </div> <div>                   Discovery Boulevard.  On any Lot which abuts the Library Tract, </div> <div>                   vertical siding shall be allowed on any Improvement wall which </div> <div>                   faces the Library Tract only if a privacy fence is constructed </div> <div>                   between the Improvement wall and the Library Tract.</div> <bR> <div>      Roof shingle color shall be “weatherwood” or a substantially similar color.</div> <bR> <div>      4.07.     <U>Alteration or Removal of Improvements</U>.  Any construction, other than normal </div> <div>                   maintenance, which in any way alters the exterior appearance of any Improvement, </div> <div>                   or the removal of any Improvement shall be performed only with the prior written </div> <div>                   approval of the Architectural Committee.</div> <bR> <div>      4.08.     <U>Garbage Containers</U>.  The Architectural Committee shall have the right to specify a </div> <div>                   specific location on each Owner's Lot in which garbage containers must be placed </div> <div>                   for trash collection service.</div> <bR> <div>      4.09.     <U>Drainage</U>.  There shall be no interference with the established drainage patterns over </div> <div>                   any of the Property, except by Milburn, as to the Milburn Property, or Quest, as to </div> <div>                   the Quest Property, unless adequate provision is made for proper drainage and </div> <div>                   such provision is approved by the Architectural Committee.</div> <bR> <div>      4.10.     <U>Construction Activities</U>.  This Declaration shall not be construed so as to </div> <div>                   unreasonably interfere with or prevent normal construction activities during the </div> <div>                   construction of Improvements by an Owner (including Milburn and Quest) upon </div> <div>                   any Lot within the Property.  Specifically, no such construction activities shall be </div> <div>                   deemed to constitute a nuisance or a violation of this Declaration by reason of </div> <div>                   noise, dust, presence of vehicles or construction machinery, posting of signs or </div> <div>                   similar activities, provided that such construction is pursued to completion with </div> <div>                   reasonable diligence and conforms to usual construction practices in the area.  In </div> <div>                   the event that construction upon any Lot does not conform to usual practices in the </div> <div>                   area as determined by the Architectural Committee in its sole good faith judgment, </div> <div>                   the Architectural Committee shall have the authority to seek an injunction to stop </div> <div>                   such construction.  In addition, if during the course of construction upon any Lot </div> <div>                   there is excessive accumulation of debris of any kind which would render the Lot or </div> <div>                   any portion thereof unsanitary, unsightly, offensive, or detrimental to it or any other </div> <div>                   portion of the Property, then the Architectural Committee may contract for or cause </div> <div>                   such debris to be removed, and the Owner of the Lot shall be liable for all expenses </div> <div>                   incurred in connection therewith.</div> <bR> <div>      4.11.     <U>Landscaping</U>.  The front and side yards of all Lots, from the front property line to </div> <div>                   the rear wall of the house, shall be fully sodded with St. Augustine, Bermuda, </div> <div>                   Prairie Buffalo Grass or other sod approved by the Architectural Committee and at </div> <div>                   least two (2) trees shall be planted in the front yard of each Lot prior to the </div> <div>                   occupancy of the residence located on the Lot.  “Landscaping” shall mean any </div> <div>                   modification to a Lot, including but not limited to any berming, irrigation systems, </div> <div>                   landscape subsurface drainage systems, paving, nonstructural retaining walls, and </div> <div>                   introduced vegetation.  Required landscaping shall be installed before the primary </div> <div>                   building Improvement is occupied.  Landscaping which has been installed on any </div> <div>                   Lot shall be properly maintained at all times.  Grasses and weeds shall at no time be </div> <div>                   allowed to exceed 6” on vacant developed lots.  Recommendations by the </div> <div>                   Architectural Committee with respect to tree disease control must be followed </div> <div>                   immediately.  These landscaping provisions shall comply with the terms of that </div> <div>                   certain Planned Unit Development Land Use Plan approved by the City of Cedar </div> <div>                   Park on January 23, 1997 under Ordinance No. 97-005.</div> <bR> <div>      4.12.     <U>Natural Gas</U>.  All lots shall be provided with natural gas lines, and each building </div> <div>                   Improvement on a Lot, except Improvements within the Common Area, shall have </div> <div>                   at least two (2) natural gas appliances.</div> <bR> <div>      4.13.     <U>Construction in Place</U>.  All dwellings, structures, buildings and swimming pools </div> <div>                   constructed on the Property shall be built in place on the Lot and the use of </div> <div>                   prefabricated materials other than trusses and wall panels shall be allowed only with </div> <div>                   the prior written approval of the Architectural Committee.</div> <bR> <div>      4.14.     <U>Location of Improvements</U>.  No buildings or other Improvements, other than </div> <div>                   garages and porches which are no larger than eight feet by twelve feet (8' X 12'), </div> <div>                   shall be located on any Lot nearer to the front Lot line than twenty feet (20').  </div> <div>                   Porches which are eight feet by twelve feet (8' X 12') may be located on any Lot </div> <div>                   no nearer to the front Lot line than ten feet (10').  Garages shall not be located on </div> <div>                   any Lot nearer to the front Lot line than twenty-five feet (25').  The front of a </div> <div>                   primary dwelling structure shall face the front of a similar structure across the street </div> <div>                   whenever feasible, and the Architectural Committee shall resolve any conflicts </div> <div>                   arising from this requirement and make the final determination with regard to the </div> <div>                   orientation of the front of Improvements upon any Lot.  No building shall be located </div> <div>                   on any Lot nearer than ten feet (10') to any rear Lot line.  No building shall be </div> <div>                   located on any Lot nearer than fifteen feet (15') to any side Lot line adjacent to a </div> <div>                   street.  Unless the building is to be located on more than one Lot, no primary </div> <div>                   dwelling structure shall be located nearer than five feet (5') to an interior Lot line.  </div> <div>                   No permitted accessory building shall be located nearer than seven and one-half </div> <div>                   feet (7.5') to an interior Lot line.  For the purposes of this Declaration, eaves, air </div> <div>                   conditioning equipment pads, fireplaces, steps and unroofed terraces shall not be </div> <div>                   considered as part of a building; provided, however, that this shall not be construed </div> <div>                   to permit any portion of the construction on a Lot to encroach upon another Lot.  </div> <div>                   Notwithstanding the general guidelines herein set forth as to location of </div> <div>                   Improvements upon the Lot, it is the intention of Milburn and Quest to establish the </div> <div>                   importance of locating the Improvements so as to preserve existing natural trees, </div> <div>                   vegetation and topography to the extent reasonable and practical.  The </div> <div>                   Architectural Committee shall be specifically empowered to enforce, or to grant </div> <div>                   variances with respect to, these guidelines, so long as the location of the </div> <div>                   Improvements will not conflict with any Plat or zoning ordinance or encroach upon </div> <div>                   any other Lot, utility easement, or public right-of-way or result in any building being </div> <div>                   located closer than ten feet (10') from the primary dwelling structure on another </div> <div>                   Lot.</div> <bR> <div>      4.15.     <U>Composite Building Site</U>.  Any Owner of one or more adjoining Lots may </div> <div>                   consolidate such Lots into one single-family residence building site, and may place </div> <div>                   or construct Improvements on such site with the prior written approval of the </div> <div>                   Architectural Committee.  In cases of such consolidation of Lots, setback lines shall </div> <div>                   be measured from the two side Lot lines existing after consolidation, rather than </div> <div>                   from the Lot lines shown on the Plat.  The Owner may not thereafter resubdivide </div> <div>                   the consolidated Lots without the prior written approval of a majority of the </div> <div>                   Owners.</div> <bR> <div>      4.16.     <U>Product Mix Along Discovery Boulevard</U>.  On no more than four of the Lots which </div> <div>                   abut Discovery Boulevard shall the Improvements consist of single family dwellings </div> <div>                   which are two (2) story in height.</div> <bR> <div>      4.17.     <U>Public Utility Easements</U>.  Certain utility easements shown on the Plats (“Utility </div> <div>                   Easements”) have been dedicated to the public use.  The maintenance of any </div> <div>                   sidewalk, paving or other permitted Improvement on the Utility Easements is the </div> <div>                   responsibility of the Owner.  No buildings, decks, pools, or spas shall be     </div> <div>                   constructed, reconstructed, or placed upon, over, or across the Utility Easements </div> <div>                   except with the consent of the Architectural Committee and of each utility company </div> <div>                   using such Utility Easement.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ARTICLE V</div> <bR> <div> <U>COMMON AREA AND FACILITIES</U></div> <bR> <div>      5.01.     <U>Common Area and Facilities</U>.  No land within any Common Area and Facilities shall </div> <div>                   be improved, used or occupied, except in such manner as shall have been approved </div> <div>                   by a two-thirds vote of each class of Members who are voting in person or by </div> <div>                   proxy at a meeting duly called for such purpose, with the same quorum as required </div> <div>                   for Special Assessments herein.  Such required approval shall extend to the nature </div> <div>                   and type of use, occupancy and improvement. Notwithstanding the foregoing </div> <div>                   provision, during the time that Milburn and Quest own Lots within the Subdivision, </div> <div>                   Milburn and Quest shall have the right to construct Improvements within the </div> <div>                   Common Areas within the Milburn Property or the Quest Property, as the case may </div> <div>                   be, including park areas, if any, without the consent of the Members or the </div> <div>                   Association.  Access to any Common Area and Facilities may be limited to persons </div> <div>                   currently paying Assessments, fees and other charges, or otherwise conditioned or </div> <div>                   restricted, or made available to non-owners, all upon such terms and conditions as </div> <div>                   the Board may determine.</div> <bR> <div>      5.02.     <U>Condemnation</U>.  If all or any part of the Common Area and Facilities is taken or </div> <div>                   threatened to be taken by eminent domain or by power in the nature of eminent </div> <div>                   domain (whether permanent or temporary), the Association shall be entitled to </div> <div>                   participate in the proceedings incident thereto.  The expense of participation in such </div> <div>                   proceedings by the Association shall be a common expense to be paid out of </div> <div>                   Assessments.  The Association is specifically authorized to obtain and to pay for </div> <div>                   such assistance from attorneys, appraisers, architects, engineers, expert witnesses </div> <div>                   and other persons as the Association, in its discretion, deems necessary or </div> <div>                   advisable to aid it in any matters relating to such proceedings.  All damages or </div> <div>                   awards for any such taking shall be deposited with the Association.  The </div> <div>                   Association, in addition to the general powers set out herein, shall have the sole </div> <div>                   authority to determine whether to contest or defend any such proceedings, to make </div> <div>                   any settlement with respect thereto or to convey such property to the condemning </div> <div>                   authority in lieu of

Declaration.</div> <bR> <div>      6.02.     <U>Membership</U>.  Any Person upon becoming an Owner shall automatically become a </div> <div>                   Member of the Association.  Membership shall be appurtenant to and shall run with </div> <div>                   the ownership of the Lot which qualifies the Owner thereof for membership, and </div> <div>                   membership may not be severed from, or in any way transferred, pledged, </div> <div>                   mortgaged, or alienated except together with the title to the Lot.</div> <bR> <div>      6.03.     <U>Voting Rights</U>.  There shall be two classes of membership for purpose of voting on </div> <div>                   any Association matter.  The Class A Members shall include each Owner </div> <div>                   (excluding Milburn and Quest) of a Lot within the Property and each such Owner </div> <div>                   shall have one (1) vote for each Lot owned.  The Class B Members shall be

</div> <div>                   be entitled to cast such vote and no other person shall be authorized to vote in </div> <div>                   behalf of such property interest except by proxy signed by such Owners.  A copy </div> <div>                   of such written designation shall be filed with the Board before any such vote may </div> <div>                   be cast, and, upon the failure of the Owners thereof to file such designation, such </div> <div>                   vote shall neither be cast nor counted for any purpose whatsoever.</div> <bR> <div>      6.04.     <U>Powers and

circumstances.  </div> <div>                   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Architectural Committee is </div> <div>                   hereby authorized, at its sole discretion, to waive any requirements relating to </div> <div>                   garages (including size), fences and setbacks and other matters with the exception </div> <div>                   of carports,

    <U>Assessments</U>.</div> <bR> <div>           (A)     The Association may from time to time levy Assessments against each Lot that has </div> <div>                     been improved.  The level of Assessments shall be equal and uniform between all </div> <div>                     improved Lots.  For purposes of this section, a Lot shall not be considered to be </div> <div>                     "improved" until a house has been constructed thereon.  No Assessments </div> <div>                     hereunder shall be levied against any unimproved Lot.</div> <bR> <div>           (B)     Where the obligation to pay an Assessment first arises after the commencement of </div> <div>                     the year or other period for which the Assessment was levied, the Assessment </div> <div>                     shall be prorated as of the date when said obligation first arose in proportion to the </div> <div>                     amount of the Assessment year or other period remaining after said date.</div> <bR> <div>           (C)     Each unpaid Assessment, together with such interest thereon and costs of </div> <div>                     collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall be the personal obligation of the </div> <div>                     Owner of the Lot against which the Assessment fell due, and shall become a </div> <div>                     vendor's lien against each such Lot and all Improvements thereon.  The </div> <div>                     Association may enforce payment of such Assessments in accordance with the </div> <div>                     provisions of this Article.</div> <bR> <div>      8.02.     <U>Maintenance Fund</U>.  The Board shall establish a maintenance fund into which shall </div> <div>                   be deposited all monies paid to the Association and from which disbursements shall </div> <div>                   be made in performing the functions of the Association under this Declaration.  The </div> <div>                   funds of the Association must be used solely for purposes authorized by this </div> <div>                   Declaration, as it may from time to time be amended.</div> <bR> <div>      8.03.     <U>Regular Annual Assessments</U>.  Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the Board </div> <div>                   shall estimate the expenses to be incurred by the Association during such year in </div> <div>                   performing its functions under the Restrictions, which shall be limited to the costs </div> <div>                   incurred pursuant to the powers granted in Section 6.04, the duties set forth in </div> <div>                   Section 6.05 and the cost of enforcing the Restrictions, and a reasonable provision </div> <div>                   for contingencies and appropriate replacement reserves, less any expected income </div> <div>                   and any surplus from the prior year's fund.  Assessments sufficient to pay such </div> <div>                   estimated net expenses shall then be levied as herein provided, and the level of </div> <div>                   Assessments set by the Board shall be final and binding so long as it is made in </div> <div>                   good faith.  If the sums collected prove inadequate for any reason, including </div> <div>                   nonpayment of any individual Assessment, the Association may at any time and </div> <div>                   from time to time levy further Assessments in the same manner as aforesaid.  All </div> <div>                   such regular Assessments shall be due and payable to the Association at the </div> <div>                   beginning of the fiscal year or during the fiscal year in equal monthly installments on </div> <div>                   or before the first day of each month, or in such other manner as the Board may </div> <div>                   designate in its sole and absolute discretion.  In no event shall the regular annual </div> <div>                   Assessments per Lot for the year 1998 exceed the sum of $120.00.  Thereafter, at </div> <div>                   the Board's sole and absolute discretion, the maximum regular annual Assessments </div> <div>                   per Lot permitted hereunder may be increased by no more than five percent (5%) </div> <div>                   per year, unless approved by at least two-thirds of each class of Members who are </div> <div>                   voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for such purpose, with the </div> <div>                   same quorum as required for Special Assessments herein.  If Quest exercises its </div> <div>                   right to annex some or all of the Quest Property and thereafter elects to exercise its </div> <div>                   right to withdraw some or all of such property from this Declaration, as outlined in </div> <div>                   Section 2.03 herein, then the subsequent owner(s) of the Quest Property shall be </div> <div>                   required to contribute to the financial obligations of the Association an amount not </div> <div>                   to exceed $500.00 per acre per year, beginning with the year the Quest Property is </div> <div>                   withdrawn.  Thereafter, the contribution shall not be increased by more than five </div> <div>                   percent (5%) per year.</div> <bR> <div>      8.04.     <U>Special Assessments</U>.  In addition to the regular annual Assessments provided for </div> <div>                   above, the Board may levy special Assessments to enable the Board to carry out </div> <div>                   the mandatory functions of the Association under the Restrictions, upon the </div> <div>                   approval of at least two-thirds of the Members at a meeting called for that purpose, </div> <div>                   by adequate notice, with at least sixty percent (60%) of the Members or their </div> <div>                   proxies present at said meeting.  If sixty percent (60%) of the Members do not </div> <div>                   attend, a second meeting may be called with the same notice and the quorum </div> <div>                   needed for said second meeting shall be thirty percent (30%) of the Members or </div> <div>                   their proxies.</div> <bR> <div>      8.05.     <U>Owner's Personal Obligation for Payment of Assessments</U>.  The regular and Special </div> <div>                   Assessments provided for herein shall be the personal and individual debt of the </div> <div>                   Owner of the Lot covered by such Assessments.  No Owner may exempt himself </div> <div>                   from liability for such Assessments.  In the event of default in the payment of any </div> <div>                   such Assessment, the Owner of the Lot shall be obligated to pay interest at the rate </div> <div>                   of ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount of the Assessment, from the due </div> <div>                   date thereof, together with all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable </div> <div>                   attorneys' fees.</div> <bR> <div>      8.06.     <U>Assessment Lien and Foreclosure</U>.  All sums assessed in the manner provided in this </div> <div>                   Article but unpaid shall, together with interest as provided in Section 8.05 hereof </div> <div>                   and the cost of collection, including attorneys' fees as herein provided, thereupon </div> <div>                   become a continuing lien and charge on the Lot covered by such Assessment, </div> <div>                   which shall bind such Lot in the hands of the Owner, and such Owner's heirs, </div> <div>                   devisees, personal representatives, successors or assigns.  The aforesaid lien shall </div> <div>                   be superior to all other liens and charges against the said Lot, except only for tax </div> <div>                   liens and all sums unpaid on a first Mortgage lien of record, securing in either    </div> <div>                   instance sums borrowed for the improvement of the Lot in question.  The </div> <div>                   Association shall have the power to subordinate the aforesaid Assessment lien to </div> <div>                   any other lien.  Such power shall be entirely discretionary with the Board and such </div> <div>                   subordination must be signed by a duly authorized officer of the Association.  To </div> <div>                   evidence the aforesaid Assessment lien, the Association may prepare a written </div> <div>                   notice of Assessment lien setting forth the amount of the unpaid indebtedness, the </div> <div>                   name of the Owner of the Lot covered by such lien and a description of the Lot.  </div> <div>                   Such notice shall be signed by one of the officers of the Association and shall be </div> <div>                   recorded in the office of the County Clerk of Williamson County, Texas.  Such lien </div> <div>                   for payment of Assessments shall attach with the priority above set forth from the </div> <div>                   date that such payment becomes delinquent and may be enforced by the </div> <div>                   foreclosure on the defaulting Owner's Lot by the Association in like manner as a </div> <div>                   mortgage on real property subsequent to the recording of a notice of Assessment </div> <div>                   lien as provided above, or the Association may institute suit against the Owner </div> <div>                   personally obligated to pay the Assessment and/or for foreclosure of the aforesaid </div> <div>                   lien judicially.  In any foreclosure proceeding, whether judicial or not judicial, the </div> <div>                   Owner shall be required to pay the costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees </div> <div>                   incurred. The Association shall have the power to bid on the property at foreclosure </div> <div>                   or other legal sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, convey, or otherwise deal </div> <div>                   with the same.  Upon the written request of any Mortgagee, the Association shall </div> <div>                   report to said Mortgagee any unpaid Assessments remaining unpaid for longer than </div> <div>                   thirty (30) days after the same are due.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Each Owner, by acceptance of a deed to his Lot, hereby expressly recognizes the existence of such lien as being prior to his ownership of such Lot and hereby vests in the Board the right and power to bring all actions against such Owner or Owners personally for the collection of such unpaid Assessments and other sums due hereunder as a debt, and to enforce the aforesaid lien by all methods available for the enforcement of such liens, both judicially and by non-judicial foreclosure pursuant to Texas Property Code §51.002 (as the same may be amended or revised from time to time hereafter) and in addition to and in connection therewith, by acceptance of the deed to his Lot, expressly GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS AND CONVEYS to the President of the Association from time to time serving, as trustee (and to any substitute or successor trustee as hereinafter provided for) such Owner's Lot, and all rights appurtenant thereto, in trust, for the purpose of securing the aforesaid Assessment, and other sums due hereunder remaining unpaid hereunder by such Owner from time to time.  The trustee herein designated may be changed any time and from time to time by execution of an instrument in writing signed by the President or Vice President of the Association and attested to by the Secretary of the Association and filed in the Office of the County Clerk of Williamson County, Texas.  In the event of the election by the Board to foreclose the liens herein provided for nonpayment of sums secured to be paid by such lien, then it shall be the duty of the trustee, or his successor, as hereinabove provided, at the request of the Board (which request shall be presumed) to enforce this trust and to sell such Lot, and all rights appurtenant thereto, at the door of the County Courthouse of Williamson County, Texas, on the first Tuesday in any month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to the highest bidder for cash at public venue after the trustee and the Board, respectively, shall have given notice of the proposed sale in the manner hereinafter set forth and to make due conveyance to purchaser or purchasers, with general warranty of title to such purchaser or purchasers binding upon the Owner or Owners of such Lot and his heirs, executors, administrators and successors.  The trustee shall give notice of such proposed sale by posting a written notice of time, place and terms of the sale for at least twenty-one (21) consecutive days preceding the date of sale at the Courthouse door of Williamson County, Texas, and, in addition, the Board shall serve written notice at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale or the proposed sale by certified mail on each of such Owner or Owners according to the records of the Association.  Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such Owner or Owners at the most recent address as shown by the records of the Association, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service.  The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of such service.</div> <bR> <div> At any foreclosure, judicial or non-judicial, the Association shall be entitled to bid up to the amount of the sum secured by its lien, together with costs and attorneys' fees, and to apply as a cash credit against its bid all sums due to the Association covered by the lien foreclosed.  From and after any such foreclosure, the occupants of such Lot shall be required to pay a reasonable rent for the use of such Lot and such occupancy shall constitute a tenancy-at-sufferance, and the purchaser at such foreclosure shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect such rents and, further, shall be entitled to sue for recovery of possession of such Lot by forcible detainer without further notice.</div> <bR> <div> It is the intent of the provisions of this Section to comply with the provisions of Texas Property Code §51.002, relating to non-judicial sales by power of sale and, in the event of the amendment of said §51.002 hereafter, which amendment is applicable hereto, the President of the Association, acting without joinder of any other Owner or Mortgagee or other person may, by amendment to this Declaration filed in the Office of the County
