Briarmeadow Subdivision - Houston, TX

Proposed Deed Restriction Amendments

Last Updated on June 25, 2010

The Briarmeadow Board of Directors has been working over the past year to revise Briarmeadow’s Deed Restrictions, which were last amended in 1987. The revisions were made in response to numerous changes in the law, ongoing deed restriction violations, and Architectural Control Committee

issues that have been the source of many complaints over the past few years (especially the 280 pound per square roofing material requirement, which finally has been revised). There was a Town Hall Meeting on June 24, at 7:00 p.m., at the Briarmeadow Clubhouse to present and answer questions about the proposed Deed Restriction Amendments.

The Briarmeadow Board of Directors will be working from now until October 12 to gather the signatures of a majority of the homeowners in order to be able to implement the new Deed Restrictions.  We will need help  gathering the required signatures.  If you are interested in helping, please email HOA Vice President Brit Perkins at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

"No Soliciting" Signs For Sale

Last Updated on May 22, 2010

The Briarmeadow Patrol has recently seen an increase in the number of complaints regarding solicitors in the neighborhood.  Because the officers cannot issue a citation or make an arrest unless a solicitor has been warned not to enter the property, the presence of a "No Soliciting" sign will both deter solicitors from knocking on residents’ doors and assist in the enforcement of criminal trespass laws.  Our officers can make a much stronger case for the issuance of a citation or an arrest if a home has a "No Soliciting" sign.  The Board of Directors is happy to announce that "No Soliciting" signs with the Briarmeadow Logo are available for purchase for $20.  The signs are 12" wide and 4" tall and are made of heavy duty aluminum.  These tasteful signs can be attached to the front of your home and will serve as notice to solicitors not to enter your property.  If you are interested in purchasing a "No Soliciting" sign, please respond to this e-mail to Director Philip McDaniel to arrange for payment and delivery.

Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Petition Being Circulated

Last Updated on May 22, 2010

Years ago, the BMHOA Board attempted to apply for the City of Houston Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Program.  Despite their best efforts, not enough residents were willing to sign up for the program, which then included a provision that the City could assess a lien against each property owner for the cost of the repairs (even though the City had not assessed such a lien since 1992, it continued to insist upon the reservation of such right).  In essence, people were asked to “trust” that the City would not assess a lien, and not enough residents were willing to do that.
 
The good news is that the ...
