A NOTE FROM THE CONSTABLES 

1. The Vacation Watch form is now available online on our website in the

vacation.aspx?constid=5) you can fill in the form and submit it. The

2. The Special Watch form is now available online on our website in the 

left column. From this page (www.harriscountytx.gov/alertnotification/ 

alertnotification.aspx?id=5) you can fill in the form and submit it. The 

submitted form will be emailed to dispatch for distribution. 

3. A new page named Online Crime Tips (www.harriscountytx.gov/pct5/ 

onlinecrimetips.aspx) is now available. 

Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s office is proud to announce their 

new website. Residents are encouraged to access www.constablepct5. 

com, which went live as of February 27, 2015. The website is designed to 

provide the user with information about the command staff, the various 

divisions within the Precinct 5 Constable’s jurisdiction and various 

programs the office offers to the public. 

• The Precinct will be offering Crime Alerts as a way to quickly let citizens 

know what is going on in their area. One you sign up on the website, a 

person will received a text message or an email when important events 

are taking place in the district. These alerts will only contain relevant 

information and a person may unsubscribe at any time. 

• The Precinct will also be offering a Citizens Police Academy. For 2 -1/2 

per week over a 9 week period, instructors will show the participant 

various aspect of being a police officer. Many of the classes will include 

hands on participation and are available to anyone 21 and up and the 

application is available on the website. Class size is very limited. A brief 

video concerning this program can be viewed on www.youtube.com/ 

watch?v+y iuleyWHWs. 

• The Precinct will be offering Operation Safe Child. Precinct 5 has 

2 certified child safety technicians who are partnering with Texas 

Children’s’ Hospital to demonstrate the proper usage and installation of 

car seats. These technicians are current on all styles, brands, recalls and 

the proper way to secure your child based on height, weight and age. The 

sessions are quarterly and a person can actually bring their car seat and 

child for a demonstration. A person can also request these outings to be 

held in the neighborhood. 

If you have a monitored alarm, make sure it is calling the Constables 

Dispatch number. 

ATTENTION! 

Please be careful and slow down while driving through the subdivision; 

remind your young drivers to do also. Please, be aware of your 

surroundings and parents, remind your children to watch for vehicles 

when crossing the street. 

PARKED CARS 

Please park your vehicles in your garage or at least in your driveway, 

if at all possible. Please be considerate of your neighbors and the fire 

trucks on your street. If you must park on the street, be considerate of 

the neighbor across the street, who must back from a driveway in order 

to enter the street. As our area has grown, so has the number of vehicles 

in the subdivision. Most seem to have more than one car per family and 

some have even more, as the children become driving age. Please try to 

be considerate of others who try to navigate between the cars that are 

left on the street. Children darting into the street or riding bicycles are 

more easily seen with less parked cars blocking the view of them. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Cimarron’s 2017 Pool Season 

The Cimarron Board has elected to change the pool registration and 

access system. 

Access to the pool will now be available to Cimarron residents that have 

received an access card directly from our management company. Each 

household that is current with HOA dues and have completed the pool 

registration form will receive one access card, which will unlock the pool 

area gate. This card will be reactivated each year once criteria noted 

above is verified. Additional cards or lost card replacements may be 

purchased for $50 each. Please see below for the pool registration form, 

provide the requested information and place it in the mail. 

Again, if you have paid your homeowners assessments and send in the 

completed pool registration form, your pool access card will be mailed to 

you. There is no fee for Cimarron resident’s first 2017 pool season card. 

PLEASE note that an alarm will sound if the gate remains open too long 

and each and every access is registered. 

Cimarron’s picture access cards will now be considered INVALID. 

RENTERS: Please check with your landlord for an existing pool card 

and send in the registration form to be activated. Previous tenants do 

not return the cards to Cimarron’s management company and should 

the landlord not provide one for you, you will be required to purchase a 

replacement card. Residents will be required to show proof of residency, 

i.e. state issued id, utility bill, current lease agreement. 

NEW OWNER: Welcome to the neighborhood. If you have paid your 

assessments and mail the registration form you will receive the pool 

access card. If a card has been provided to the previous owner, you will 

be required to purchase a replacement card. 

Pool card registration will be available on Monday, April 17 th between

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone 

who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid 

of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting 

hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the 

unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or 

cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat 

nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following 

circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more then six (6) feet in 

length, if the line or leash is held by human being who is capable of 

controlling or governing the dog or cat in question or 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle or 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not 

have access to sidewalk to street.” 

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or 

play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all 

our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect 

anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet 

owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing 

to properly restrain their pet. 

HOMEOWNERS!! 

If you know of a neighbor/residence who is not receiving the “Cimarron 

Star,” please notify Krenek Printing Company by calling 281-463-8649 or 

emailing us at news@krenekprinting.com. All we need is the address. 

Thank you!

KATY ISD SUMMER BAND CAMP 

The fifteenth annual summer band camp, offered to next 

year’s 7 th , 8 th and 9 th grade KISD band students, will be held at 

Tompkins High School from July 10 th to July 14 th . The camp 

will include daily section rehearsals, full band rehearsals and 

fun music based electives. Lunch is also part of the camp. The 

cost of the camp is $130 and will include a t-shirt if registered by 

June 5 th . All registrations after that date will need to include a 

late registration fee of $25 totaling $155. All registrations must 

be postmarked by Friday, June 23 rd . The camp concludes with 

the Grand Finale Concert on Friday morning at 9 AM. After the 

concert, those students wishing to extend the fun a little longer 

can join in the group’s optional trip to Typhoon Texas for an 

additional $35 (park admission, meal, bus transportation and 

drinks are included in price) for a total camp cost of $165 ($190 

after June 5 th ). The KISD JH Summer Band Camp has been a 

huge success each year and we anticipate a large enrollment 

again this year. 

Camp participants will audition for summer band camp 

placement as soon as they arrive for the first day of camp. 

Students should prepare major scales and chromatic scales 

specific to the student’s instrument, as well as a band camp 

audition etude, which can be downloaded from the webpage 

below. Students will be ability grouped with the number of 

bands being determined by total enrollment for the camp. 

Registration Form, Audition materials and Travel/Emergency 

Treatment Consent Form can be downloaded by campers from 

the Katy ISD Fine Arts Webpage www.katyisd.org/dept/finearts. 

An email confirmation is sent out upon receipt of registration 


and follow up reminders from the camp coordinator will be sent before the camp begins, so make sure your email address is clearly printed on the 

registration form. 

The camp provides an economical and convenient alternative to those who may not have had a chance to attend another band camp over the 

summer due to scheduling and/or costs. Participants will receive top quality instruction on their instruments from our own great KISD and Houston 

area Band Directors. Join us for the fifteenth annual Katy ISD Junior High Summer Band Camp and keep your playing skills sharp for the year! Camp 

brochures, with the registration form, will be distributed to KISD band students by their schools’ directors. Camp brochures can also be downloaded 

from the Katy ISD Fine Arts webpage above. Plan to register early in order to guarantee a spot! Again, registrations must be postmarked by Friday, 

June 23 rd . If you have already registered and have not received your confirmation email, contact kisdbandcamp17@gmail.com to make sure your 

registration has been received.
