Kenneth H. Tarr v. Timberwood Park Owners Association, Inc.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the unambiguous restrictive covenants in Timberwood Park do not forbid short‑term vacation rentals. Because the covenants are silent on lease duration and the single‑family restriction pertains only to the structure, the homeowner’s rentals satisfy the residential‑purpose limitation. Accordingly, the trial court’s summary‑judgment ruling for the homeowners’ association was improper and the case was remanded.
