WHAT GIVES THE ASSOCIATION THE RIGHT TO TELL ME…
WHAT I CAN DO ON MY PROPERTY? In a nutshell: the Association declaration and state law.
Community associations have a governmental component. Like a city or county government, a community association has a charter - called the declaration. The declaration encompasses bylaws, covenants and other documents that give community associations their legal foundation. These can be found on our website, www.newterritory.org. Go to NTRCA Docs, then Association Docs/Major Governing Docs to view them or download a copy.
These governing documents obligate the Association to preserve and protect the assets of the community. To enable the board to meet this obligation, Association governing documents also empower the board to make rules and defi ne the process for adopting and enforcing them—within limits. Governing documents also establish parameters for the nature and type of rules the board can make.
State law gives associations the authority to make rules. These are called common interest community statutes, and they apply to condominiums, cooperatives, and property owners associations. You can fi nd the Texas Statutes at http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/PR/htm/PR.209.htm.
Remember, however, that the board can’t make or enforce any rule that is contrary to the governing documents, local ordinances, state law or federal regulations. Remember also that the board makes rules on your behalf—to protect your investment, your home, and keeps in mind the good of the entire community when doing so.
If you have questions about any of the New Territory Governing Documents or the state statutes and how they apply in a certain situation, please contact the Association offi ce at (281) 565-0616. We may be able to give you some guidance on where to fi nd answers to your questions.

MOBILE SCANNING
It’s amazing what you can do from your phone or tablet today. You can program your AC thermostat, open the garage door, watch movies and your mobile device
can even be used as a television remote. So why not use it as a mobile scanner too? It’s pretty convenient to able to scan documents to PDF to email to others or to fi le away on your computer. There are now several apps available for most mobile devices that allow you to use them as scanners. The app I am using is called “PDF Document Scanner” and is only available on Android devices, but there are many others available for iOS and Windows devices. To scan multiple pages into a PDF you simply launch the PDF Document Scanner app then tap “New PDF Project”. Give the project a name and select the paper size then tap “Create”. Now tap “Scan New Document” and take a picture of the page. Once you’ve taken the picture you can crop it, rotate it, adjust brightness and make other edits. You repeat this process for each page, then tap “Compile PDF” to make your PDF fi le. Now that you have a PDF document, you can save it to your cloud storage account like One Drive, Google Drive or Drop Box, you can print if you have a print app or you can send it as an attachment to an email. And of course… it’s free. Happy scanning.

OUR COMMUNITY
PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET
It doesn’t take much to remember that we have pets in our community. In fact, if you don’t
watch your step, you are liable to step in one such reminder! Besides being unsightly and smelly, animal waste can be hazardous to the health of our children who play in the community and other pets. One of the most common forms of disease transmission between dogs is through fecal matter. When walking your dog in our community, remember that it should be leashed. Also, it is important to remember to immediately clean up after your pet. Take along a baggie with you to pick up waste and then dispose of it properly. By taking a few simple steps to clean up after your pet, you can contribute not only to the beautifi cation of our community, but also towards the elimination of one of the most irritating nuisances in our community. Thank you for your cooperation.

Up for bid at the auction are gift cards from a wide range of restaurants, golf packages, vacations, jewelry, bling items, and spa packages.

GET THE SMARTEST CARD OF ALL AT FORT BEND COUNTY
LIBRARIES
The best investment any parent can make is a
library card. It’s free. It opens doors to benefi ts that kids can’t break, wear out, or outgrow. September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and Fort Bend County Libraries wants to make sure that your child is among the two-thirds of Americans that carry the smartest card of all - a library card. Studies show that children who are read to in the home -- and who use the library --
perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning. Most importantly -- librarians are on hand to help recommend materials suitable for various ages and interests. Students learn in different ways. The wide variety of resources that become available with a library card enables the library to meet the needs of all ages and types of learners. Free access to those resources is what makes a library card one of the most important school supplies that parents can give their children. A library card provides free access to DVDs, CDs, software, and books. Libraries also offer a wide range of other items to lend to children and their families, including story kits, toy kits, games, and puzzles. A library card becomes even more valuable when someone wants to access many of the library’s online resources from home. The cost of subscribing to these databases as an individual would make them unaffordable to many people, but a library card levels the playing fi eld by making them available to everyone free -- as long as you have a library card. “We want to remind everyone that a library card gives them access to many library resources online 24/7,” said Clara Russell, library director. “The library’s resources that can be accessed through our website - such as the databases, Homework Help, OverDrive eBooks, and other online services - are available and can be accessed at any computer outside the library that has an Internet connection.” For more information on how you can sign up for your library card, visit any of the branches in the Fort Bend County library system, call the library’s Public Information Offi ce at 281-633-4734, or see the library’s website at www.fortbend.lib.tx.us and click on the “Online Library Card Application” link.
