Governing Documents

Twin Bluffs is governed by a set of recorded deed restrictions. These fall into three groups: the original restrictions covering Lots 1–30, individual restrictions for four additional “Undeveloped Tract” parcels added to the subdivision between 1974 and 1984, and two 2024 amendments that apply a minimum 180-day lease term (no short-term or Airbnb-style rentals) across the entire subdivision. The official recorded documents are provided below for owner reference.

Lots 1–30 (Original Subdivision)

  • Original Deed Restrictions (1966) — Filed by W.J. Gebhard, Jr. and C.M. Murphy, Jr.; Hays County Vol. 218, Pg. 610. Establishes the original building restrictions for Lots 1–30, including residential-use requirements, and provides for enforcement by any owner.
  • 1971 Modification to Building Size Restrictions — Hays County Vol. 251, Pg. 40. Reduces the minimum dwelling size from the original requirement down to 800 sq. ft. (with masonry exterior) or 1,100 sq. ft. (without).

Undeveloped Tracts 1–4

Four separate acreage tracts were later added to Twin Bluffs as they were sold off; each carries its own recorded restrictions similar in spirit to the 1966 covenants.

2024 Amendments — Minimum Lease Term

In 2024, owners amended the restrictions across the subdivision to prohibit short-term rentals by requiring a minimum 180-day lease for any dwelling, room, or part of a lot.

These are the official recorded documents. If you have questions about how a restriction applies to your property, please consult your own copy of the deed or an attorney.
