outdoors. Says she wants to<br />

become a teacher when she<br />

grows up.<br />

Locale<br />

“We have lived here in Cypress area since July 2013. We like living in this<br />

area because it’s where we built our first home and we have family nearby.<br />

Also because everything is nearby and has had many new developments<br />

like Boardwalk, beautiful parks, great schools, restaurants, stores, etc. The<br />

area means a lot to us because we come to see how communities come<br />

together to help and support neighbors in times of need. We have also<br />

meet great neighbors that have become great friends.”<br />

Long Awaited Spring<br />

Their favorite spring time tradition as a family is picking out their cowboy and cowgirl<br />

wear for Rodeo Day, and then head down to NRG to enjoy the Rodeo food and<br />

concerts. Of course, the kids have a blast at the carnival!<br />

The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town: “For Easter each year as a family, we like to go<br />

to brunch together, followed by Easter church service and we like to host a BBQ with<br />

close friends and family. Our Easter tradition is an Easter egg hunt for kids, we always<br />

make baskets for our kids filled with their favorite goodies, and bake and decorate an<br />

Easter theme cake.”<br />

And he’s good to me: The kids’ Easter baskets and usually filled with toys, candies,<br />

shirts and each kid’s favorite goodies based on their favorite character or hobby.<br />

What’s it all about: To this family, the true meaning of Easter is the “religious<br />

celebration celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Also a time to get together with close<br />

family and friends and spend quality time together.”<br />

Heart to Heart<br />

“One of our biggest challenges was learning that not<br />

everyone is as understanding towards special needs and<br />

some lack knowledge to Autism. We went from having<br />

such hard times making a grocery trip or taking my kids<br />

to a playground because some would look at my son as<br />

their definition of normal and due to his sensory overload<br />

moments adults would stare or make rude comments<br />

when he would stim or have a moment. Children around<br />

him always seem to be much more understanding than<br />

adults, but we have come such a long way from letting<br />

that turn into fear to be out in public to not letting that<br />

stop us and my children from enjoying life and all the<br />

beautiful things life has for them to explore. Now we<br />

enjoy the outdoors more, explore new places and travel<br />

more.”<br />

Things to Do<br />

This family loves to enjoy great food at local restaurants<br />

and attend events in the area. They are also adventurous<br />

in that they like to try new activities together as a family.<br />

We Would<br />

LOVE<br />

Each month, one family will<br />

be chosen from one of our<br />

communities.<br />

Neighborhood News<br />

Payments:<br />

The HOA is working with the management company to create a system<br />

where homeowners can pay their due or fees over the phone with a credit<br />

card (convenience fee will apply). We know the online payment system<br />

has caused some frustration for some homeowners and we are trying to<br />

remedy this. Please stay tuned for updates!<br />

Pool:<br />

Pool will re-open May 1, <strong>2018</strong>. You MUST be current on your HOA dues<br />

or be on a payment plan to gain access to the pool. You will need an<br />

activated pool access card, pool wristbands and a signed waiver to swim<br />

this year. You will have 3 opportunities to get these items for the season:<br />

Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 21 st from 3-5 PM<br />

Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 28 th from 5:30-7:30 PM<br />

Saturday, May 12 th from 10 AM-12 PM<br />

Mark your calendars NOW for one of these dates! If you do not come to<br />

the pool during one the aforementioned dates and times, you WILL be<br />

charged a convenience fee (to be determined). If you do not bring your<br />

access card from the previous year, you will need to purchase a new card<br />

for $10, plus a convenience fee if paying with a credit card. If you a new<br />

renter to the community, please call TxMgmt at 832-910-7525 to fill out a<br />

Renter’s Information Form so that you will be in the system and able to<br />

get pool cards/bands.<br />

Yard Of The Season:<br />

<strong>Copperbrook</strong> is happy to announce we will be awarding trophies 4 times<br />

throughout the year now! Best Spring yard will be judged on <strong>April</strong> 15 th or<br />

later. Best Summer yard will be judged on July 15 th or later. Best Halloween<br />

yard will be judged on October 31 st and best Christmas yard will be judged<br />

on December 25 th . So, keep those yards looking great so you can earn<br />

bragging rights! We will recognize the homes on our Facebook page too,<br />

www.facebook.com/<strong>Copperbrook</strong>HOA, so be sure to like it today!<br />

Alarm Permits:<br />

Our contracted officers have asked that we remind our residents that it<br />

is a requirement by Harris County that you register your alarm system<br />

with the County. It is $35 to get a new permit and $10 to renew it each<br />

year. The fees are waived if you are over 65, but you must still register<br />

your alarm. Residents face a $75 false alarm fee if officers respond to your<br />

alarm and it isn’t registered. You can get details about registering your<br />

alarm here: www.hcsoalarmpermit.com.<br />

Crime Alert:<br />

Residents need to know that there has been a marked increase in crime<br />

in our community, including recent car burglaries and a home invasion<br />

in late 2017. Harris County MUD 130 pays for the contract officers for our<br />

community. They are being extra vigilant and are aware of the increase in<br />

activity in recent months. <strong>Copperbrook</strong> appreciates our officer’s efforts,<br />

but we as residents MUST do our part as well. Upon speaking to one of<br />

our contract deputies at the December Board meeting, he indicated that<br />

the flood lights above the garage that are motion activated, are a great<br />

deterrent and a great way to alert officers to movement when they are<br />

making their rounds at night. We would like to encourage neighbors to<br />

protect each other’s lives and property by watching for and reporting<br />

suspicious activities... the residents become the “eyes” of the patrolling<br />

4<br />

<strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Copperbrook</strong>


deputies. If you see something, SAY something! The object is to prevent<br />

a crime from happening by having a deputy check out even the slightest<br />

irregularity in your street’s normal routine. Our deputies would prefer to<br />

spend 10 minutes checking out a call rather than follow up on a crime<br />

that has already been committed. Please don’t hesitate to call 911 when<br />

you see anything suspicious. And PLEASE lock your cars and remove all<br />

valuables! If you would like to learn more about crime in the area, visit<br />

www.crimereports.com for information.<br />

Community Updates:<br />

As most of you have noticed, the trees along one side of our community<br />

are being torn down (along the drainage ditch). Harris County is<br />

proceeding with its plan to extend Huffmeister through that area. Many<br />

of us hoped this day wouldn’t come, but now it has. Just know that the<br />

HOA is being vigilant and aware of how this will affect <strong>Copperbrook</strong> and<br />

will keep residents informed of any concerns if they arise. Additionally,<br />

MUD 130 has added more fencing, more lighting and 14 new security<br />

cameras to the Charles Austin Park. Many thanks to the MUD for making<br />

sure this park is as safe as possible for our residents!<br />

Violation/Past Due letters:<br />

Simply stated, if you get a violation letter or you are past due in your HOA<br />

dues, PLEASE call the TXMGMT at 832-910-7525 to discuss a payment plan<br />

or get an extension on a needed repair to your property. The management<br />

company and Board of Directors are not unreasonable and will make<br />

every reasonable effort to work with residents if you will make an effort on<br />

your part to either initiate the repairs or pay the fines, whichever the case.<br />

Communication is simple and vital to keeping the issue from escalating.<br />

The Board of Directors along with TXMGMT plan to be consistent and<br />

proactive in keeping our community looking great, feeling safe and<br />

making sure dues and fines are collected in a timely manner and homes<br />

and yards are kept up to a standard to which we can all be proud.<br />

Monthly Meeting:<br />

<strong>Copperbrook</strong> HOA would like to welcome all homeowners to come to our<br />

monthly meetings at La Madeleine the first Tuesday of every month at<br />

5 PM. The open session where we welcome residents to attend starts at 6<br />

PM. If the door to the meeting room is closed, simply knock and the Board<br />

will let you in. Please come share your ideas and learn of the progress on<br />

the latest projects and events in our neighborhood. It’s a great way to get<br />

involved and stay connected to your community. If you know ahead of<br />

time that you will attend or you have a particular concern that you would<br />

like added to the agenda, please call Juan at TXMGMT (832-910-7525).<br />

Renovations<br />

We are aware that on occasion homeowners receive letters from<br />

the management company that are considered unwarranted by the<br />

homeowner. If you plan to do a small renovation or do major cleaning<br />

6<br />

and you know that you may have something unsightly in your driveway/<br />

front yard for a short period of time, please call TXMGMT (832-910-7525)<br />

and make them aware of your activities so that she can make a note on<br />

your account in order to avoid a letter being sent out.<br />

If you are planning a major renovation to the exterior of your home by<br />

painting your house, replacing your fence or adding storage to your<br />

yard, remember to contact our neighborhood’s Architectural Review<br />

Committee. You can call TXMGMT (our management company) to inquire<br />

about the proper forms needed to make your submission and they will<br />

gladly email the forms to you. We hope to have these forms available<br />

for download on the community website soon. The Architectural Review<br />

Committee will review the request to make sure the request meets the<br />

neighborhoods deed restrictions. The committee’s approval must be<br />

granted before making such changes to the facades of the home such<br />

as paint colors, roof colors and burglar bars (which are prohibited on<br />

the front doors or any windows). Also, sheds and canopies should not<br />

be visible from the street. If you submit a request to the Architectural<br />

Review Committee and it gets denied, please call TXMGMT (our<br />

management company) to inquire as to why your project was denied.<br />

It may be as simple as additional information is needed (ex: paint color,<br />

pictures, lot survey). If you are thinking about a project you are invited<br />

to attend the monthly HOA meeting to get any questions answered prior<br />

to submission. If you need a copy of the deed restrictions, please email<br />

copperbrookhoa@gmail.com and we will send you a copy.<br />

Safety<br />

Park and Pool Safety:<br />

Parents please accompany all children to the park and pool for their<br />

safety. The playground opens at sunrise and closes at sundown. Please<br />

call 911 if you see any suspicious activity, persons or vehicles. This area<br />

is monitored by surveillance cameras, however as homeowners, we need<br />

to assist the police and play an active role in keeping our community safe!<br />

Neighborhood Safety:<br />

PLEASE lock your doors and remove all valuables so that there is little<br />

temptation and hopefully nothing taken if they do break in your vehicle.<br />

There have also been reports of crimes at the new park (Charles Austin<br />

Park) and so we urge you to be aware of your surroundings at all times.<br />

Please be alert to things such as unknown cars idling, circling the<br />

neighborhood, increased traffic at a particular home and driving slowly<br />

as if to stall for time. If you see this behavior, please call 911 and report<br />

the suspicious activity. It would be helpful if you could provide any of the<br />

following information to the 911 operator or sheriff’s department when<br />

you call: description of the vehicle, person(s), time of day and/or license<br />

plate number. Please be discrete and keep in mind safety is priority. Also,<br />

if you notice a lot of traffic and multiple vehicles coming and going from a<br />

location please call the sheriff’s office and inform them of the high traffic<br />

volume of that location. It takes a community effort to keep a community<br />

safe. The HOA is cooperating with the local law enforcement in keeping<br />

this a safe community for our families.<br />

Surveillance Cameras:<br />

Surveillance cameras are installed at the pool house. The cameras are<br />

positioned to monitor the pool areas, the park grounds and the parking<br />

lot. HOA Board members have 24-hour access to view the ongoing<br />

activities of these areas. All suspicious activities will be reported to the<br />

Sheriff’s Office immediately.<br />

Committee Information<br />

If you’re thinking about getting more involved in our community, joining<br />

a committee is a great start! Feel free to attend a monthly meeting to<br />

learn more about these opportunities. The <strong>Copperbrook</strong> HOA is looking<br />

for volunteers for the following committees:<br />

EVENTS COMMITTEE:<br />

The events committee oversees the newly organized welcoming<br />

committee, which will be providing welcome baskets to new<br />

homeowners. The event committee is also responsible for decorating the<br />

monuments at Christmastime organizing the bi-annual garage sales and<br />

hosting the neighborhood events such as National Night Out and Snow<br />

Kirby Drive, Houston 77098. Please join us for an incredible evening<br />

of Food, Drinks and FUN as we raise critical funds to support pediatric<br />

cancer research! You will experience 6 unique stations, each one serving<br />

up a delicious bite from the one-of-a-kind Armadillo Palace menu that<br />

will be paired with a wine or craft beer. We will have live music and<br />

a silent auction. You will also hear from one of the oncologists from<br />

the Solid Tumor team at Texas Children’s Cancer Center on how our<br />

support has directly made an impact on her research to improve<br />

current treatment protocols for solid tumors and to ultimately find a<br />

cure for these cancers.<br />

The Laurel’s Army Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization,<br />

formed by a Cypress, Texas family whose daughter bravely fought and<br />

won, her battle with a rare cancerous solid tumor in 2010. Through<br />

this battle, we became aware of the severe lack of funding available<br />

for pediatric cancer research and institutions that care for these young<br />

warriors depend greatly on money raised by nonprofits like The Laurel’s<br />

Army Foundation. For more information, please visit us at www.<br />

laurelsarmy.com or find us on Facebook and Twitter @LaurelsArmy.<br />

Love That Lasts” starting on Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 10 th at 7-8:15 PM. This study<br />

reveals how different people express love in different ways and contains<br />

the key to understanding each other’s unique needs. What speaks love<br />

to you may be meaningless to your spouse. Apply the right principles,<br />

learn the right language and soon you’ll know the profound satisfaction<br />

and joy of being able to express your love and feel truly loved in return.<br />

Each week the group will view a teaching by Dr. Chapman and have the<br />

opportunity to discuss the principles taught both in the small group and<br />

with your spouse. Singles are also welcome as there will be opportunity<br />

to apply the teaching to relationships with children, parents and other<br />

significant people in one’s life. Classes will last for 75 minutes and a<br />

nursery for preschool children will be available by advanced reservation.<br />

Each participant will need a small-group study book, which can be<br />

purchased from the church. The cost is $10 per book.<br />

Gardening<br />

Tips for <strong>April</strong><br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate<br />

a great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag.<br />

When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you<br />

are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more<br />

on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep<br />

your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed<br />

foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your<br />

home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at<br />

least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant<br />

free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception<br />

is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep<br />

it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite<br />

infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your<br />

homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray<br />

eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to<br />

resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The<br />

fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi<br />

from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a<br />

healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop<br />

brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin<br />

and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a)<br />

lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do<br />

not water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper,<br />

stronger and more drought resistant roots.<br />

• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />

IRS TAX DEADLINE<br />

People have until Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 17, <strong>2018</strong>, to file their 2017 returns and<br />

pay any taxes due. The filing tax deadline is later this year due to several<br />

factors. The usual <strong>April</strong> 15 th deadline falls on Sunday this year, which<br />

would normally give taxpayers until at least the following Monday.<br />

However, Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, is observed<br />

on Monday, <strong>April</strong> 16 th , giving taxpayers nationwide an additional day<br />

to file. By law, Washington holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone in<br />

the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting an extension will<br />

have until Monday, Oct. 15, <strong>2018</strong>, to file.<br />

The IRS expects more than 70 percent of taxpayers to get tax refunds this<br />

year. Last year, nearly 112 million refunds were issued, with an average<br />

refund of $2,895.<br />
