SECURITY NOTE
Make it difficult for would-be thieves
The simple act of keeping car doors locked while a vehicle is
parked in your driveway can make your car less attractive to
would-be thieves.
In addition, by removing purses, briefcases, cell phones, shopping
bags and other valuables from parked vehicles - whether in your
own driveway or a commercial parking lot - you’ll likely remove
temptation for a crime opportunity.
These are small steps that only take a few seconds and
demonstrate how being mindful of personal and home security
can make a big difference.
REMINDERS
Residents, please be sure to mow and weed your lawn and move
garbage cans from in front of the house.
Pool opens Memorial Day weekend.
You can request a Home Improvement application form from KPM.
Don’t forger to sign up/log on to the association’s website,
www.Brenwoodiihoa.org.

MAILBOX TAMPERING
When a mailbox is put into use for the purposes of sending and
receiving mail, it becomes federal property.
Mailbox tampering is considered any act that interferes with
another person’s letter box or other receptacle. This can include:
• destruction of the mailbox itself
• theft of mailbox contents
• the placement of items in a mail receptacle by persons
other than postal employees
• any action intended to obstruct or damage mail
or mailbox property
In short, anyone, other than mail recipients and postal employees,
should NOT touch a mailbox or its contents.
HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL
In order to increase compliance and spread awareness, our office is
requesting your assistance in informing residents in your community
through your HOA newsletter or your scheduled HOA meetings of the
need to obtain a permit for operating an alarm system, residential or
business, within unincorporated Harris County. Many residents and
businesses are unaware of the requirement to obtain an alarm permit
once an alarm system has been installed and activated by the alarm
company. Alarm systems are established and defined in the Local
Government Code 233 (subchapter D), as well as the authority to
regulate, adopt rules and impose penalties for unpermitted locations.
Obtaining the required permit will avoid the issuance of a citation
and excessive false alarm fees. The fee for current permit issuance
is $35 with a yearly renewal fee of $10. All permit fees are waived for
senior citizens 65 years or older. Under current guidelines, a permitted
location is allowed five (5) free false alarms annually. Any subsequent
false alarms during your permitted year are subject to a $75 fine that
is billed to the permit holder’s address. If a site has an active alarm
system, yet does not have a permit to operate such alarm, a false
alarm may result in a Class C citation, which could range up to $500.
Should you or your residents require a copy of the permit application
form or would like to review the regulations regarding permit
requirements, you may do so by visiting the Harris County Sheriff’s
Office website at www.hcso.hctx./net. The application can be printed
from the website, then completed and mailed to our office with the
applicable fees. We are currently in the planning stages of making
the application and payment process available on-line for the convenience
to the public. Should you have any questions, please contact
the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Alarm Detail at 713-755-4600 M-F,
8 AM - 5 PM. If you would like any of our Alarm Detail personnel to
attend one of your HOA meetings, we would be glad to attend and
answer as many questions as possible.
SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP
Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and the
community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, come prepared
with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else.
If your pet poops during your walk, please scoop and trash. It may
not be the most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show that
you respect your fellow neighbors’ and our beautiful community.
HARRIS COUNTY 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.
