     The Spring 2013 edition of the POA's BriarBeat newsletter is now available (in color) here. To save on expenses, we will no longer print and mail this newsletter ourselves. We have arranged with Peel, Inc. to print and mail a monthly newsletter to Association members at no cost to the Association, starting in May. That new format will have room for more articles and advertisements.
     If you have ideas for articles, please send them (the ideas or the articles) to the POA by email. Articles should abide by Peel's guidelines. We will review and submit them in one batch to Peel by the 9th of each month for publication the following month.

     If you would like to advertise in the newsletter, please Contact Us for the option to also advertise on this website, which serves 860 homes in the POA and HOA areas. You can also contact Peel directly at 888-687-6444 or by email.

 

A controversial project could put flood retention ponds in some of our back yards. An article in the Ultimate Memorial section of the Houston Chronicle cites mixed messages from city officials. The alternative to retain flood waters at the Clodine Ditch source is slipping away as that site is being sold off.

 

If someone looks suspicious then call the Constable.  Solicitation is not illegal.  The Constable can speak to the person and sometimes they will leave.  See link to HPD memo.

 

The POA office needs another computer, either a desktop or a laptop. If you have a spare computer that you would be willing to donate to the POA, please contact the office or the web page, or bring the computer to the office during our new public hours. It could be tax deductible!
