No animals, livestock, or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any Lot, except that dogs, cats or other common household pets may be kept, in reasonable numbers, provided that they are not kept, bred or maintained for commercial purposes. No Owner shall allow any pets to become a nuisance by virtue of noise, odor, dangerous proclivities, excessive pet debris or unreasonable numbers of animals. If common household pets are kept, they must be confined to a fenced backyard (such fence shall encompass the entire backyard) or within the house. When away from Lot, pets must be on a leash at all times. It is the pet Owner's responsibility to keep the Lot clean and free of pet debris and to keep pets from making noise, which disturbs neighbors. Pet owners shall not permit their pets to defecate on other Owners' Lots, on the Common Area, Landscape Areas, or on the streets, curbs, or sidewalks, unless the pet defecation is immediately removed by the pet owner and disposed of sanitarily.

Fort Bend County also has a leash law that states: The owner of a dog has a duty to keep that dog under reasonable control at all times, and to keep that dog from running at large.
