The State of Texas shall not be responsible for payment of the annual assessment provided for herein. Instead, the veteran contracting to purchase any UNIT from the State of Texas shall be considered as the OWNER of any such UNIT, shall be considered a member of the ASSOCIATION, shall be personally responsible for payment of the annual assessment provided for herein and shall be entitled to cast all votes with respect to such UNIT. Execution of a Contract of Sale between a veteran and the Veteran's Land Board for the State of Texas for any UNIT shall signify that such veteran accepts. ratifies and will comply with terms of this DECLARATION.

An OWNER of an undivided fractional interest in a UNIT may sell or transfer, whether during lifetime or at death, his undivided fractional interest to the owner of another individual fractional interest and otherwise he may sell his undivided fractional interest only if all of the other OWNERS who own an undivided fractional interest in such UNIT join with such OWNER such that a 100% interest in such UNIT is sold or transferred to, or owned at the completion of the transfer or transfers by, one person or two persons if they are husband and wife; provided, however, an OWNER of an 100% interest in a UNIT, or an OWNER of an undivided fractional Interest in a UNIT, may transfer his interest at death to such OWNER'S spouse and/or to any one or more of his issue or to a trust for the benefit of such spouse and/or any one or more of his issue.
