NUISANCE ABATEMENT ENFORCEMENT<br />
CONTINUES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS<br />
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has an overall Nuisance Abatement<br />
program for neighborhoods, such as ours, which have suffered from<br />
severe neglect during the sub-prime foreclosure crisis. Empty homes with<br />
junk and clutter in the front and back yards, eyesores for the community,<br />
inoperable vehicles, health and safety hazards… these and much more<br />
are addressed under Texas law as it applies to Nuisance Abatements in<br />
the Traffic Code and the Health and Safety code.<br />
All contract units are trained in every Nuisance Abatement law on the<br />
books. Each law will be enforced quickly. Once again, we are putting a<br />
burden on the Sheriff’s Office that rightfully belongs on other agencies<br />
and the homeowners’ associations, but this is the most expeditious way<br />
of solving the many problems we are seeing in both <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> and<br />
<strong>Westlake</strong>.<br />
So, if you know of a home that is abandoned, has a junk vehicle in the<br />
driveway or street, trash, debris, high grass, a dangerous swimming pool,<br />
etc., please email Annette Baldwin at info.westlake@gmail.com or call<br />
her at 281-578-9118. She will forward the information to our deputy or<br />
the district nuisance abatement deputy who will act on it immediately.<br />
This program began in 2011 following the training of all deputies. New<br />
deputies who bid into contracts are trained in Nuisance Abatement prior<br />
to their new assignment.<br />
The vehicle Nuisance Abatement and parking code are enforced in an<br />
ongoing policy for <strong>Westlake</strong> and <strong>Westlake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>. The health and safety<br />
laws will supplement that for further improvement in our neighborhoods.<br />
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Harris County<br />
Health Department and the County Attorney in an effort to clean up<br />
these problems.<br />
WARN YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT SURFACE WATER<br />
IN BAYOUS & SPILLWAYS<br />
Please warn your children not to swim in any surface water bayous or<br />
spillways in Harris County. Most MUD districts dump “gray water” into<br />
the surface water of Harris County. “Gray water” is partially processed<br />
waste water from sewers and contains lots of bacteria. Recently we have<br />
seen younger children wading in the spillways and teenagers in the<br />
waters of the bayous. In addition to the bacteria, our bayous are home to<br />
a number of animals such as alligators and snakes.<br />
Just to be safe, have a conversation with your children about our<br />
waterways.<br />
Always there for you!<br />
CALL IT IN… CALL IT IN<br />
A quick review of our calls for service in 2016, has demonstrated that our<br />
residents are not calling the Sheriff’s Office on suspicious persons and<br />
suspicious vehicles as well as crimes such as burglary of a motor vehicle, etc.<br />

If you don’t call to report a crime or suspected criminal activity in progress<br />
or suspicious persons or vehicles, no arrests will be made, the crime or<br />
criminal activity will continue and the Sheriff’s Office will not know that<br />
anything is going on. Yes, we have those rare occasions where a deputy,<br />
by pure luck, drives up on a crime or suspicious activity in progress. But<br />
why rely on luck when you have a telephone? The number to call is 713-<br />
221-6000. This is the phone number for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.<br />
If there is an emergency, call 9-1-1. We live in HARRIS County. If you would<br />
like a magnet for your refrigerator so that both these numbers are readily<br />
available to you, stop at the Franz Road Fry Store Front and pick one up.<br />
