HOA Legal interpretation
We have a rental in an HOA in Texas.
How would you interpret this as a number of occupants?
The subdivision shall be used for private single family residences only. The term “family” as used herein shall mean one or more persons related by blood, adoption, or marriage, living and cooking together as a single housekeeping unit, exclusive of household servants or a number of persons, but not exceeding two (2) living and cooking together as a single housekeeping unit though not related by blood, adoption or marriage.
There are four professionals renting the house. Two related. Two unrelated.
How much info do I give the HOA and not break tenant privacy.
Thanks an advance for any advice.

First off, you shouldn't go to a public forum to get legal advice. 99% of the users are under different laws and couldn't possibly give you the correct legal answer.
In my experience, and based on what you've shared, a clause like this shows the development was created for families, not work professionals. You may be in violation and subject to fines and/or eviction.
