You have chosen to live in one of the most beautiful and well-operated communities in South Texas. Our neighborhoods within the 2,600-acre Master Planned Community of Bentsen Palm Development will remain premier communities because homeowners support strict compliance with the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) that govern each community. To maintain the overall aesthetic qualities desirable in first-class communities, certain activities, design standards, maintenance requirements, and property uses must be restricted. The governing body charged with maintaining these desirable qualities and enforcing the restrictions is the Bentsen Palm Development Association, Inc., a Texas Corporation governed by a Board of Directors and operated under the By-Laws.
