Declaration Of Covenants, Conditions &

Restrictions For Highlands Glen

in pdf

• 3.7.5. Gas Well. On the date of this Declaration, land near Highlands Glen

is used for one or more gas wells, storage tanks, and gas pipelines.

Prospective owners and residents are encouraged to inform themselves

about aspects of being in close proximity to an active drill site, well operation,

and storage facility for natural gas or other minerals. Periods of drilling and

production on nearby land may produce an environment - such as noise,

odor, fumes, and dirt - that may temporarily affect the use and enjoyment of

the Property. By acquiring an ownership or occupancy interest in the

Property, each owner and resident acknowledges that Declarant, the

Association, and their respective directors, officers, committees, agents, and

employees have no control over uses of nearby land. No house lot may be

used as a drill site.

• 4.15. MINERAL INTERESTS. In the era in which this Declaration is written,

there is renewed interest in oil and gas exploration. On the date of this

Declaration, it is expected that all mineral Interests and water rights will have

been reserved by a prior owner of the Property or conveyed pursuant to one

or more deeds or other instruments recorded in the Real Property Records of

Denton County, Texas, including but not limited to rights to all oil, gas, or

other minerals and water lying on, in, or under the Property and surface

rights of ingress and egress. Because the instruments conveying or reserving

mineral interests and water rights were recorded prior to this Declaration,

those interests in the Property are superior and are not affected by any

provision to the contrary in this Declaration. By accepting title to or interest in

a lot, every owner acknowledges the existence of the mineral and water

rights and/or reservations referenced In this Section and the attendant rights

in favor of the owner or owners of the mineral interests.

APPENDIX D

TO DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS & RESTRICTIONS

FOR HIGHLANDS GLEN

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE OIL & GAS ACTIVITY AFFECTING THE

SUBDIVISION

Oil and natural gas are found in most parts of Texas, making Texas one

of the largest oil and gas producing regions on Earth in the era in which

Highlands Glen (the "Subdivision") is developed. As exploration and

development technologies evolve, new areas of the state become attractive

sources for exploration, drilling, and production. No one can guaranty where

the next promising oil or gas field will be located. Nor can anyone guaranty

that a particular location will never be used for oil or gas production.

Someday your home may be closer to an oil or gas well than you expect. Or

the nearby well that has been dormant for years may be revived. The

purpose of this Notice is to make you aware that Declarant, Builders, and the

Association have no control over, nor liability for, past, present, or future oil

and gas activities within or near the Subdivision.

As used in this Notice, the following terms have specific meanings:

- ”Fixtures" refers to existing, abandoned, or future pipelines, pipeline rights-

of-way, pipeline easements (collectively "pipeline"), drill sites, wells,

equipment, and facilities for the exploration, extraction, and transportation of

oil, natural gas, petroleum products, or other gases or liquids located near or

within a drill site or pipeline, whether now existing or created in the future.

- "Uses" means rights, including easements, to access, operate, inspect,

install, maintain, repair, and remove Fixtures, and the exercise of such rights

from time to time and at any time, by an owner or operator of a drill site or

pipeline.

- "We" and "Us" means, individually and collectively, Declarant, Builders, the

Association, and anyone affiliated with them, such as their respective officers,

directors, employees, agents, parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, heirs,

personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

- "You" and "Your" refers to any person acquiring, owning, or occupying a lot

or any portion of the Subdivision, and the person's heirs, personal

representatives, successors, and assigns.

By contracting to purchase a lot, and by acquiring an ownership or

occupancy interest in a lot or any portion of the Subdivision:

YOU ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF

OWNERSHIP AND OCCUPANCY, INCLUDING THE RISK THAT FIXTURES

AND USES MAY OR MAY NOT BE PRESENT WITHIN OR NEAR YOUR LOT

OR THE SUBDIVISION, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, AND THE RISK THAT

THE FIXTURES AND USES MAY NOW OR AT ANY FUTURE TIME

NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOUR LOT OR THE SUBDIVISION, SUCH AS (by

way of example, without limitation)(1) YOUR HEALTH, SAFETY, OR

WELFARE, (2) QUIET ENJOYMENT OF YOUR LOT, (3) USE OF A

COMMON AREA FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE, (4) CONTAMINATION OF

SOIL, AIR, OR GROUNDWATER ON YOUR LOT OR IN THE SUBDIVISION,

AND (5) DIMINUTION OF VALUE OF YOUR LOT, OTHER PORTIONS OF

THE SUBDIVISION, OR PROPERTY NEAR THE SUBDIVISION.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO

PROPERTY, PERSONS, OR OTHER BEINGS CAUSED BY FIXTURES,

USES, OR THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTY, SUCH

AS THE OWNER OR OPERATOR OF A DRILL SITE OR PIPELINE. YOU

RELEASE EACH OF US FROM ANY AND ALL COMPLAINTS, DEMANDS,

CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSSES, DAMAGES, COSTS, INJURIES,

OR OTHER LIABILITY THAT YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE, AT ANY TIME,

THAT RELATE IN ANY WAY TO ANY FIXTURE OR USE, PAST, PRESENT,

OR FUTURE

do know is that you don't have mineral rights and neither do we. There was a

natural gas pump about a block away, but it was decommissioned

several months ago. The plat map does show an oil company owning a

small section land east of the community. I was told they did all the testing

before we ever started building and that there was nothing there to drill for.

Mineral Rights

Oil & Gas Exploration and Surface Ownership, Rail Road Commission of

Texas

• Regardless of whether the mineral estate and surface estate are held

by one owner or have been severed, Texas law holds that the mineral estate

is dominant. This means that the owner of the mineral estate has the right to

freely use the surface estate to the extent reasonably necessary for the

exploration, development, and production of the oil and gas under the

property. This right to freely use the surface estate for the benefit of the

mineral estate may be exercised by a company or individual that has taken a

mineral lease from the actual owner of the mineral estate.

Exceptions and Limitations The general rules regarding free use of

the surface to benefit the mineral estate may be changed by the specific

terms of the mineral lease covering the property or of the deed that severed

the mineral estate from the surface estate. In addition, many cities have

municipal ordinances restricting oil and gas activities on property within city

jurisdiction.

• Titan Industries got its permit for one of the most controversial

drilling sites to date. The permit was for the gas

drilling pad located on Hilliard Field, near the intersection of

FM2499 and FM3040.

• In late November, TCEQ installed a monitor near the intersection

[C1007] of FM1171 and Shiloh Road and nearby gas

production sites.

• The August 2010 study concluded that residential homes

valued over $250,000 that were immediately adjacent

to well sites can lose 3 percent to 14 percent in value.
