The Architecture of Community Governance

State Bar of Texas - Advanced Property Owners Association Law

09.09.22

Drawing on over 30 years of experience, Winstead Shareholder Bob Burton illustrates different architectural models for community governance, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful design in creating successful and sustainable communities. Just as an architect considers form, aesthetics, and functionality when designing a building, a community governance architect must consider the interplay of rules, procedures, and policies to create a cohesive and manageable system.  This involves drafting various interconnected documents like deed restrictions, bylaws, and management policies, which together form the framework of the community. The choice of which framework to employ depends on factors such as location, regulations, and the nature of the community itself.  Read full article here.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
