We present 12 new transit light curves and 16 new out-of-transit radial velocity measurements for the XO-3 system. By modelling our newly collected measurements together with archival photometric and Doppler velocimetric data, we confirmed the unusual configuration of the XO-3 system, which contains a massive planet ($M_P=11.92^{+0.59}_{-0.63} M_J$) on a relatively eccentric ($e=0.2853^{+0.0027}_{-0.0026}$) and short-period ($3.19152 \pm 0.00145\,$day) orbit around a massive star ($M_*=1.219^{+0.090}_{-0.095} M_{\odot}$). Furthermore, we find no strong evidence for a temporal change of either $V\sin i_{*}$ (and by extension, the stellar spin vector of XO-3), or the transit profile (and thus orbital angular momentum vector of XO-3b). We conclude that the discrepancy in previous Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements ($70.0^{\circ} \pm 15.0^{\circ}$ (Hebrard et al. 2008); $37.3^{\circ} \pm 3.7^{\circ}$ (Winn et al. 2009); $37.3^{\circ} \pm 3.0^{\circ}$ (Hirano et al. 2011)) may have stemmed from systematic noise sources.
