Terms Used In Texas Property Code 82.064

  • Declarant: means a person, or group of persons acting in concert, who:
    (A) as part of a common promotional plan, offers to dispose of the person's interest in a unit not previously disposed of; or
    (B) reserves or succeeds to any special declarant right. See Texas Property Code 82.003
  • Person: includes corporation, organization, government or governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, association, and any other legal entity. See Texas Government Code 311.005
  • Unit: means a physical portion of the condominium designated for separate ownership or occupancy, the boundaries of which are described by the declaration. See Texas Property Code 82.003
  • Unit owner: means a declarant or other person who owns a unit, or a lessee of a unit in a leasehold condominium whose lease expires simultaneously with any lease the expiration or termination of which will remove the unit from the condominium, but does not include a person having an interest in a unit solely as security for an obligation. See Texas Property Code 82.003

To the extent that a unit or common element encroaches on another unit or common element, a valid easement for the encroachment exists. The easement does not relieve a unit owner of liability in case of the owner’s wilful misconduct nor relieve a declarant or any other person of liability for failure to adhere to the plats and plans.
