Eugene C. FREY, Petitioner,
v.
DeCORDOVA BEND ESTATES OWNERS ASSOCIATION, Respondents.
No. C-1380.

March 9, 1983.
Rehearing Denied April 6, 1983.

WALLACE, Justice.
This is an appeal from a summary judgment. Eugene C. Frey (Frey) filed suit for an injunction against DeCordova Bend Estates Owners Association (Association). Frey sought to enjoin the Association's possible *247 assessment and collection of certain special fees from owners of property within the subdivision. These fees were $300 for a permit to build a house, $100 to transfer ownership of a lot, and $100 to lease a lot. The covenants provide that any unpaid fees will become a lien upon the lot in question and further give the Association the right to foreclose upon that lien in the event of nonpayment. Frey is currently under no obligation to pay any such fees. Both parties filed motions for summary judgment. The trial court denied Frey's motion and granted the motion of the Association. The court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court. 632 S.W.2d 877. We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
The issues presented are: (1) whether the assessments complained of are authorized by the restrictions and covenants of record which became a part of each landowner's deed at the time of purchase; and (2) if such assessments are unauthorized, has Frey demonstrated the existence of an actual irreparable injury, not remediable at law, that would entitle him to permanent injunctive relief? The pertinent sections of the covenants (Sections 15, 16 and 19) and by-laws (Sections 3 and 4) are reproduced in full below.[1] Frey contends that the only *248 permissible assessments other than user fees, are those levied on all property owners equally. He further contends that the building, transfer and leasing fees are not levied on all property owners and are thus not permitted. We agree with that contention.
A study of the covenants and bylaws of the Association leads us to interpret the terms of the agreements as providing: that all property owners were also Association members; that the Association was to take title to the common property and recreational facilities in trust for all of its members; that the Association was to maintain and operate the common properties and recreational facilities, to charge user fees when appropriate and to levy only those monthly assessments sufficient to defray the actual costs of maintaining and operating its facilities and to adjust those fees annually as becomes necessary. It is evident the covenants and bylaws require these charges to be levied evenly upon all users and that the assessments were to be equally imposed upon all property owners.
The Association contends that Frey has not built upon, sold or leased his lot; therefore he has failed to make the requisite proof of the existence of an actual irreparable injury which is necessary to support the granting of injunctive relief. The record reflects no attempt or even intent by Frey to build upon, sell or lease his lot; nor is there a showing that the Association intends to assess a fee against Frey. Absent such proof, he is not entitled to injunctive relief. Luccous v. J.C. Kinley Co., 376 S.W.2d 336, 341 (Tex.1964). Moreover, fear or apprehension of the possibility of injury alone is not a basis for injunctive relief. Schulman v. City of Houston, 406 S.W.2d 219, 225 (Tex.Civ.App.Tyler 1966, writ ref'd n.r.e.).
The mere invalidity of the contested fees does not constitute a substantial and actual injury or threat of imminent harm to Frey; therefore, he did not show that he was entitled to injunctive relief. Since Frey has sought only injunctive relief in this case, the trial court was correct in granting summary judgment for the Association.
The judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed.
BARROW and CAMPBELL, JJ., concur in the result.

By-laws, ARTICLE IV:
Section 3. Management of the Recreation Area. After the property and Recreational Area have been turned over to the Corporation by Declarant, the corporation, by and through its Board of Directors, has the sole responsibility and liability for the maintenance, improvement, management, administration and regulation of said Recreational Area, and funds for such purposes, including all taxes on said Recreational Area shall be secured by the Corporation from the assessments as hereinafter provided; provided, the Corporation may provide for additional charges, other than assessments, for the use of the facilities in said Recreational Area, and for services provided to members (including Apartment Tenants).
Section 4. Title to the Recreational Area. The title to said Recreational Area shall be and remain in Declarant as long as Declarant is still a member of the Corporation as hereinafter provided; when Declarant is no longer a member of the Corporation, at that time the Corporation shall accept from the Declarant the title to said Recreational Area; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as to make Declarant responsible or liable, other than as a member of the Corporation, for the maintenance, taxes, upkeep or other expenses of said Recreational Area, such expenses being assumed from the date of the adoption of these By-Laws by the Corporation; and provided further that nothing herein contained shall prevent Declarant from conveying title to said Recreational Area to the Corporation and the Corporation from accepting such title at an earlier time than is herein specified at the option of Declarant. In the original Restrictions filed pertaining to the Property, it was stated that Declarant would construct and complete original recreational facilities as follows: a nine hole golf course, club house including furniture and fixtures, swimming pool, marina with boat launching ramp, tennis courts; public areas, riding areas, camping areas, and playground areas, and these original recreational facilities were planned to be given by Declarant to the Corporation at the time Declarant turns over the Property and the Recreational Area to the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation; there have been additional recreational facilities at the special request of some of the property owners (mostly income producing) that have been added to enhance the Property and it is agreed that when Declarant has been reimbursed (cost plus 10% per annum of cost to the date of reimbursement) for the installation of these additional recreational facilities solely from the income from such facilities, the Declarant shall convey said additional recreational facilities to the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation; said additional recreational facilities include boat stalls and stables. Since the initial Restrictions were filed Declarant has added an additional 9 hole golf course which Declarant will convey to the Corporation at no cost to said Corporation.
