The Plat

All Texas subdivisions have these basic legal requirements. The official Nacogdoches county approved Legal Survey of ANDERSON COVE Sub-division is referred to as the PLAT. Each Lot (also referred to as Home site) has been defined by the surveyor and is Legally referred to as Lot #n of the Anderson Cove Subdivision PLAT.

The Covenants

The Deed-Restrictions aka COVENANTS are the legal rules and regulations the developers have defined in order to establish the quality of livability and property values of the sub-division. The Developers have defined Covenants that are restrictive on purpose. All Home sites/Lots are legally bound by the COVENANTS that are registered with Nacogdoches County, at the date of closing.

If issues arise from the Covenants being too restrictive then a waiver can be granted to a particular lot owner by the HOA or Developer(s). Note that the developer's interest is to sell the property so they retain the right to grant a waiver to support that effort. The HOA acts as the long term entity that interprets the COVENANTS going forward, which is done by democratic voting by homeowners.
