I Have A Question?
Q: My name is listed at the main gate, my 4-
digit code is working, but my phone isnt
ringing from the gate so I can let my friends in
any longer. Can this be fixed? K.M.
A: Have you changed your phone number since
the original input of your name and code
activation? Often we find residents change their
phone number and forget about updating this
information for Timberwalks tele-entry system.
If this is the case, you may email your new
number to the Welcome Committee,
hellotimberwalk@aol.com , and the system can
be updated.

Additionally, Lift Master remote gate openers
are available for owners to purchase at the
clubhouse. Contact the Welcome Committee at
hellotimberwalk@aol.com to make an
appointment for one of our monthly meeting
nights, or contact our Property Manager,

Timberwalk Basics
Centex Homes, Inc. started construction of
Timberwalk in 1999. The builder provided each
original owner at their closing with a Centex
Owners Maintenance List to assist homeowners
in protecting their property investment. The
List (starting on page 2) is not all inclusive, but
provides a basic frame of reference for
Timberwalks current owners.

Did You Know?
In Timberwalk, there is a 24 hour limit in
which trash containers can be at the curb, or
seen from the street.
Article 9.7 Garbage and Refuse Disposal:
No cans, bags, containers or receptacles for the
storing or disposal of trash, garbage, refuse, rubble,
or debris shall be stored, kept, placed or maintained
on any Lot where visible from any streetexcept
solely on a day designated for removal of garbage and
rubbish and on which days only such [items] may be
placed in front of a residence and beside a street for
removal but shall be removed from view before the
following day.
This means trash may only be placed at the
curb 12 hours prior to pickup, and then, 12
hours after pickup all containers must be
removed from view, and not in front of the
garage. This includes construction/remodeling
debris which may only be placed at the curb on
garbage day, or have the contractor do same day
disposal.
