PURPOSE OF HUNTER’S PARK 

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

Hunter’s Park Community Association handles the 

financial and legal affairs of the subdivision. Each lot 

owner is required to pay an annual maintenance fee 

which is used to pay street lights; pay taxes on and 

maintain the common areas, such as the swimming 

pools, tennis courts, etc.; pay for security; and pay legal 

expenses incurred to enforce the deed restrictions. 

The Board meets every month at 6:30 p.m. in 

the meeting room at the community building. Residents 

are welcome to attend. Anyone wishing to 

place an item on the agenda should call the HPCA 

office in advance. 

The Annual Meeting of Members is held on the 

4th Thursday of January. 

Members hold three year staggered terms and are 

elected. The election process is as follows: 

1) Mail in ballots will be mailed out with the Annual 

Maintenance fee statements. 

2) Voting in person will begin on the 1st Monday 

after the Annual Meeting ending on the following 

Saturday at 7pm.

of the association may require us to be out of the office 

for a short period of time. If we are out of the office 

when you call or if you call after hours, please leave a

DEED RESTRICTIONS 

Deed restrictions are strictly enforced by Hunter’s Park 

Community Association. Copies of the restrictions 

are available at the association’s office or by mail 

(call 281 463-1216). Complaint forms are included 

in every Bear Creek Newsletter for your convenience. 

The association’s office verifies complaints and writes 

letters to violators. HPCA will initiate legal action 

when warranted, to enforce the deed restrictions. 

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL 

You must submit any plans for improvements or 

modifications of your home to the Hunter’s Park 

Community Association Office. Your plans will be 

checked to insure that they comply with the deed 

restrictions. This includes re-roofing, playforts (8 

ft. height limit), temporary storage buildings, etc. 

Please call the office at 281 463-1216 if you need 

any additional help or assistance. 

SECURITY 

Hunter’s Park Community Association provides 

additional security currently through a contract 

with Commissioners Court for four Harris County 

Constables. HPCA also hires off-duty deputies on 

an as-needed basis for additional coverage. 

Please call the Constable’s Office at 281 463-6666 

to report any suspicious person, activity or for vacation 

watch. There is a voluntary $2.00 security 

contribution on the M.U.D. #6 water bill that goes to 

each homeowner. The voluntary contributions can 

only be used to pay for security. This contribution 

enables HPCA to provide more coverage without 

raising maintenance fees.

LOOSE OR LOST PETS & DOG BITES 

Contact Harris County Animal Control at 281-999-3191 or 3194. 

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. 

Harris County Animal Control advises, “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 than six (6) feet in 

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

of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does 

not have access to sidewalk or 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. 

Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and 

must be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises of 

the owner. We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower beds 

might keep cats away. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that 

is not properly restrained please contact: 

Harris County Precinct #5, Contract #87: 281-463-6666 

Harris County Animal Control: 281-999-3191 

Harris County Health Department, Rabies/Animal Control Section 

2223 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027-3588 

www.countypets.com 

BARKING DOGS 

If you have a problem with a neighbor’s dog constantly barking, 

you should first contact the pet owner and make them aware of the 

problem. In the event that doesn’t work, you should then contact 

the Constables at 281-463-6666 to file a complaint. 

HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL 

If your home has an alarm system, you need to obtain a permit to 

avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive false alarm fees. You 

can get a copy of the permit application and review the regulations 

regarding permit requirements at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office 

website. The form can be printed for mailing with the applicable 

fee from the website. For more info, call the Alarm Detail office at 

713-755-4600 during normal business hours.

2017 BOND RECOMMENDATION 

PRESENTED TO THE KATY ISD BOARD 

During the monthly Katy ISD Board of Trustees Work Study meeting in 

July, the 2017 Community Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) Chairman 

presented the Committee’s $609.2 MM recommended bond package 

which addresses rapid growth and the near-term needs of the district. 

Since early April, Committee members have attended numerous meetings 

as well as received and assessed extensive and detailed information 

in order to develop a bond package. Members agreed on a final bond 

package which includes funds for six new schools, renovations and expansions 

at existing facilities, enhanced student technology, safety and 

security upgrades among other items. The Committee’s bond package 

also ensures a zero tax rate increase. 

Student enrollment has grown by approximately 2,800 students per year 

in Katy ISD. The district currently has an enrollment of more than 76,000 

students. According to the district’s demographer, Population and Survey 

Analysts (PASA), by 2023 nearly 90,000 students will attend Katy ISD 

schools and over 98,000 students will call the district their home by 2026.

“I’m In PAIN” 

Can Chiropractic Help ME ? 

We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor 

of chiropractic can help my problem?” 

We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, 

including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation 

and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, 

(procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. 

We will make this special program available through September. 

The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation 

and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

quilts for their corporate collection. For the first time ever, part of this 

collection has been assembled into a nationally-touring exhibition of 

25 quilts and the Pearl is delighted to be one of the stops on that tour.

GARDEN TIPS FOR 

SEPTEMBER 

Time now to make plans for 

fall landscaping projects. 

While trees generally need stakes 

to keep them upright for the first 

season after planting, they should 

be removed after one to two years 

so that the tree continues to grow 

and thrive. The ties used to fasten 

the stakes to trees can cause 

indentations in the tree if left on. 

Such indentations can significantly 

weaken a tree and constrict bark 

growth. The tree can also get 

strangled if stakes are left on too 

long, which can upset the flow of 

water and nutrients in the tree. This 

can also cause weak spots. Trees 

are usually tied to a wooden stake 

attached with string to a metal 

clamp around the tree. 

Things You’ll Need 

to remove tree stakes: 

• Measuring tape 

• Gardening shovel 

WHEN AND HOW TO 

REMOVE TREE STAKES 

Walk around the staked tree. Look 

for indications the tree is over a year old or more, such as indentations in the 

wood from the stakes. Measure the tree’s width and height, using a measuring 

tape. If the tree is over 6 feet tall and or thinner than 1 inch, it should not need 

stakes. 

Untie the tree from its clamp and dig out the wooden stake from its place in the 

ground with a shovel. Remove the metal clamp from the tree. The tree can now 

sway in the wind, which will help the trunk become stronger and wider. 


• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, 

yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light green 

leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). 

Correct with iron cheleates. 

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch 

in a little bone meal around the roots. 

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants 

for fall growth. Follow up with a dose of 

fertilizer the first week of September. 

• Plants come out of summer rest and go 

crazy. Insect populations explode as we get 

into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have 

been dormant wake up. 

- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango 

are susceptible to spider mites and thrips. 

Discourage them with a strong jet of water 

from a hose directed to the undersides of 

the leaves. 

- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and 

ixora are susceptible to scale and mealybug. 

• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials 

get planted. 

• Wait until November to plant petunias and 

pansies. 

• Fire ants baits should be put out in 

September- October to lessen the number 

of eggs that make it to Spring. 

• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer 

during September. Continue to mow at 

maximum height. You want to leave a lot 

of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate 

reserves for the winter. 

• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign 

of them is grass that appears to stop growing. 

You need to get them early for biological 

controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 

1/4 inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications 

can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on 

the caterpillars’ digestive systems and makes 

them stop feeding. Do the application late in 

the day. The larvae feed at night and you want 

them to get nice fresh Bt. 

• When the heat and drought end, the 

weather could bring brown patch disease in 

the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish 

spots if the nights drop into the 60’s and 

days stay in the 80’s. 

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done 

now. You want the flush of new growth to 

be hardened-off before the end of October. 

Tree pruning should be put off until winter, 

when the trees are dormant. 

•Pre-emerge herbicide applications 

targeting annual bluegrass and the earliergerminating 

winter broadleaf weeds needed 

to be put out starting in mid-August.

NEW LAWS IN TEXAS EFFECTIVE IN 2017 

The Texas legislature met from January through May and passed 

several new laws as well as changed laws that will go into effect in 

2017. They range from texting while driving, drones, to swords, to 

protecting good Samaritans. Below are a few laws that are effective 

immediately or going into effective September 1 st . 

Texting While Driving 

Effective September 1 st , there will be a statewide band on texting 

while driving. The bill bans drivers from texting while a vehicle is moving, 

making it a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine ranging 

from $25 to $99, with penalties up to $200 for repeat offenders. The 

law allows drivers to use their phones for GPS and would not allow 

violators to be fined under both state law and local ordinances. 

People Allowed to Carry Swords 

People can carry bowie knives, swords, daggers and spears in public 

under a law that goes into effect September 1 st . Current law allows 

people to carry knives no more than 5.5 inches long. While it will be 

okay to carry the larger weapons in public, it is illegal to take into 

bars, schools, colleges, churches, sporting events and numerous 

other facilities. 

Amnesty for Sex Assault Witnesses 

Students who witness and report a sexual assault while they are involved 

in illegal activity, such as drinking, would be given amnesty. 

Recording Higher Ed Sex Assaults Electronically 

Effective immediately, this law will allow college employees and 

students to submit electronic and anonymous reports of sexual 

assaults to their institutions. 

Ridesharing Returns 

Last year some ridesharing companies, like Uber and Lyft, were 

mandated to fingerprint drivers before they could pick up customers 

in their cities. Effective immediately, this new law, bans cities 

from enforcing similar measures on these types of ridesharing 

companies. 

Cheaper to Carry a Gun 

Effective September 1 st the fees for carrying a gun in Texas are now 

cheaper under Senate Bill 16. The law lowers fees for a first-time 

license to carry a handgun from $140 to $40 and the renewal fee is 

also reduced from $70 to $40. 

Be Careful Where You Fly your Drone 

Effective September 1 st the state has banned unmanned aircraft, like 

drones, over correctional and United States Immigration, Customs 

Enforcement detention facilities and large sports venues. Exceptions 

include unmanned aircraft authorized by a law enforcement agency 

or with the permission of the operator of the sports venue. 

David’s Law 

The new state law on cyber bullying makes it a Class A misdemeanor 

to harass or cyberbully someone under age of 18 through text 

messages, social media, websites or other means with the intent 

to cause them to commit suicide or harm to themselves. 

Voter ID changes 

If don’t have a valid photo id, voters will be able to cast their ballots 

if they show some other documentation with their name and 

home address (Bank statement or Utility bill). Voters would also 

need to sign an affidavit saying there is a good reason they don’t 

have a valid photo ID. 

No More Straight-Ticket Voting 

Straight ticket voting is out! Voters will no longer be allowed to cast 

their ballot for an entire slate of Republican or Democratic candidates. 

You will now have to vote for each candidate individually. 

Lottery Winners 

Effective September 1 st . Individuals who win prizes of at least $1 

million can choose to remain anonymous and prohibit the release 

of all personal information to the public. 

Civil Protections for Good Samaritans 

Effective September 1 st a new law protects good Samaritans 

from civil lawsuits if they break in a vehicle if they have reason to 

belief the person is in imminent harm, has first notified 911, uses 

appropriate amount of force and remains with the individual in a 

safe location. This replaces current law that leaves good Samaritan 

open to civil suits. 

No More Suspensions for Young Students 

Effective immediately. Schools can no longer suspend students 

below third grade. Instead public schools need to discipline children 

in a way that enforces positive behavior. 

More Frequent Background Checks for College Referees 

Effective September 1 st sport officials registered with the UIL will 

have to undergo criminal background checks every three years 

instead of just one. 

Help for Relatives Caring for Abused Children 

The state will now pay $350 a month to families caring for abused 

or neglected children they are related to. Currently the state pays 

families $1,000 initially and $500 a year. 

Attacking Police Officers is Now Officially a Hate Crime 

If a person attacks a former or current law enforcement officer 

they could be found guilty of committing a crime. The change puts 

crimes against law enforcement in the same category as crimes 

based on a person’s race, color, disability, religion, national origin, 

age, gender or sexual preference.

HEALTHY COWBOY CAVIAR 

This healthy cowboy caviar recipe (also known as Texas 

caviar) is made with all-natural ingredients! Serve it as a dip, 

salsa or salad Recipe yields a lot of “caviar,” about 8 cups. 

Ingredients 

2 (14-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained, 

or 3 cups cooked black-eyed peas 

1 (14-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, 

or 1 ½ cups cooked black beans 

1 ½ cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn), 

or 1 (14-ounce) can corn, drained 

1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes (I used about 4 Roma 

tomatoes, 

about ¾ pound) 

1 medium green, red, orange and yellow bell pepper 

¾ cup chopped red onion (about ½ small red onion) 

½ cup chopped cilantro, leaves and stems 

1 to 2 jalapeños, ribs removed, seeded and finely 

chopped 

1 avocado (optional) 

Italian dressing 

1/3 cup olive oil 

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or lime juice 

2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced1 

to 1 ½ teaspoons salt, to taste 

1 teaspoon dried oregano 

½ teaspoon dried basil 

1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey 

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes 

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 


Instructions 

In a large serving bowl, combine the drained black-eyed peas, black 

beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. 

If you’ll be including avocado, wait to dice it until you’re ready 

to serve the dip, so it doesn’t turn brown in the meantime. 

In a cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients until emulsified. 

Drizzle the dressing over the serving bowl and toss until well mixed. 

Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. For best flavor, 

let the mixture marinate for at least 20 minutes before serving. If 

you’re adding avocado, mix it in just before serving.
