Owners take the lead.

Water’s Edge II has been run by the builder since it was built. Now that 75% of homes are sold, Texas law says control passes to a board elected by us. This page tracks every step and shows how you can help.

Questions neighbors ask

Is this a fight with the builder?

No. Handing control to owners is a normal, required step for every Texas condominium. The law sets the deadline: builder control ends within 120 days after 75% of homes are sold (Texas Property Code §82.103). We're making sure it happens on time and goes smoothly.

What does the board actually do?

It sets the budget and dues, hires and oversees the management company, keeps the buildings insured and maintained, saves for big repairs like roofs, and enforces the rules fairly. Owners elect the board, and the board answers to owners.

How much time does serving take?

Usually one meeting a month plus a few hours of reading and email. Directors serve two-year terms and aren't paid. You don't need a background in finance or law; the management company and professionals do the specialized work.

I can't make the meeting. Can I still vote?

Yes. The bylaws allow proxies sent by mail, email, or fax (Bylaws §5.4). A proxy lets someone you trust vote for you. We'll share the proxy form with the meeting notice, and we can help you fill it out.

How many people need to show up?

Only 10% of owners, about 5 units, counting proxies (Bylaws §6.6). Directors must be elected at a meeting, not by mail-in ballot (§6.8).

Who is organizing this?

A group of owner volunteers called the transition team. Anyone can join. This website belongs to the association and will be handed to the new board.

Is this legal advice?

No. These are plain-English summaries of our recorded documents and the Texas Property Code. The transition team is consulting a Texas condominium attorney before the petition and election.
