BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2 

(BC1&2) NEWS FROM THE BOARD 

Spring cleaning/repair/ACC 

Spring is here and so are the weeds in our yards and so the cycle begins once 

again. Please take a look at the outside of your house and yard to replace rotted 

wood trims, clean mildewed sidings, cut down or prune dead trees and shrubs 

since we had a harsh winter this year. This is one way you can help the community 

to save money sending deed violations and allow us to use the dues we all paid 

towards improvements around our neighborhood. Don’t forget to complete an 

ACC request and submit for approval prior to starting the work. 

Assessments Late fees and interests 

As we have always reminded our residents that late fees and interests will be 

adding to your annual assessment outstanding balances. I want to emphasize 

that if you need to pay it in installments, PLEASE contact our manager Shannon 

s.abernathy@pmghouston.com so that we know you are not just ignoring the 

financial duty. We all have circumstances and situations when we need some 

help, letting us know may help to avoid sending your account to legal actions. 

Once it is with attorney, there is little we can help. 

Monthly meeting and website changes 

As you may have read the announcement from post card mailed to you and 

website, our monthly meeting has moved to 2 nd Wednesday of every month and 

we are meeting at the M.U.D. 102 water plant building next to the water tower. 

Meeting starts at 7 PM still. 

PMG (our current management company) is going to phase out our website and 

instead we will be using new phone app called TownSquare. You can download 

onto your phone, the app is free. Once downloaded you will need to have your 

property account with PMG (found on your assessment letter/bill) and register to 

starting accessing notifications, information, send questions and requests etc… 

Please go check it out and give us feedback. 

More Pleasant neighborhood 

During the past winter when we had exceptional freezing temperatures and snow, 

I noticed there are a lot of feral/community cats around our neighborhood. They 

are probably a nuisance to some residents but I felt so sorry for them shivering 

out there I actually took them inside from the cold for a few hours. They could be 

somebody’s pet at one time or still are pets but owners just let them stay outside 

because “the cats like it.” If you are a cat owner, please spay and neuter your cats 

to combat the over-population of feral/community cats roaming around. There 

are many low cost animal clinics near us (KAAWS, Panda Wellness, The Greater 

Good just to name a few) that perform the surgeries at low cost and it helps the 

animals to stay healthy. No one likes un-neutered cats spraying around their 

yards or houses but that’s their un-neutered animal behavior. I am sure many of 

you have heard cats screaming and fighting especially at night, the sound is very 

disturbing. Spaying and neutering can stop that too. These are great ways to help 

make our community a pleasant one to live in. 

BRADFORD COLONY SECTION 3 

(BCS3) WATER TREATMENT PLANT WORK 

As many of you are already aware, there has been an ongoing 

repair effort at the water treatment facility that is located 

just outside the northwest corner of BCS3. Based on reports 

from that MUD district, this major work project should be 

completed around May 1 st . 

Note that this water treatment plant is part of the MUD 250 

system (Hearthstone Place) and not our MUD system (102). 

In addition to a continual stream of daily traffic going to this 

facility, there is also daily activity just behind the homes on 

Vaughnville Drive associated with large tanker trucks picking 

up loads of waste water from the storage lines that feed this 

facility. This activity is needed to prevent these storage lines 

from overflowing and flooding the area. 

Normally this tanker traffic only takes place during the daylight 

hours, but during periods of heavy rain, the tankers 

will be running 24 hours a day to keep this storage site at 

proper levels. 

Hopefully, this work will be completed as estimated and the 

BCS3 residents will not have to deal with the traffic and noise 

associated with these activities. 

(BCS3) NEW RESIDENTS 

There have been many new residents who have moved into 

the neighborhood over the past year. The Board would like 

to welcome all these new homeowners and rental tenants. 

Existing residents are encouraged to stop by and say “Hi” to 

our new neighbors. 

In a neighborhood as small as hours, everyone knowing their 

neighbors is one of the primary crime prevention practices 

we have to keep BCS3 and our residents as safe as possible. 

(BCS3) 2018 HOME OWNERS ASSESSMENT 

The Board would like to thank everyone who has paid their 

2018 Assessment as of this date. As of the writing of this 

news item, 80% of the property owners are paid up for 2018. 

If you are reading this note and have yet to pay your 2018 

Assessment, please contact Theodora Daly at ACMP (281- 

855-9867) to make arrangements to handle this financial 

obligation. 


Air Conditioning Contractors of America 

(BCS3) 2018 ANNUAL MEETING 

Our annual meeting is tentatively set for Sunday, May 20 th at 7 PM. 

The meeting probably be held at a residence in the neighborhood so 

as to make it as easy as possible for residents to attend. 

Key aspects of this meeting will be the election of one new Director 

as well as serve as an open forum for any residents to discuss various 

neighborhood issues with the Board as well as Theodora Daly (ACMP 

Management). 

Look for more information on this meeting in the coming weeks. 

(BCS3) RECREATION CENTER POOL ACCESS 

Note that the HOA has been contacted by the group that manages 

the Recreation Center and Pool complex located at West Little York 

and Addicks-Satsuma about the possibility of having BCS3 residents 

become part of this center. 

The Board is working with our Management Company and Association 

lawyers to look at the available options and determine the appropriate 

course of action. 

Look for more information on this issue in the near term. 

(BCS3) CONTACT THE BOARD 

As is the case with everything in our small neighborhood, every resident 

should feel free to contact any Board member as to any issue or 

question that you have about BCS3. Contact information for all the 

Board members is located on the inside front cover of this publication. 

CHARLESTOWN COLONY 

(CHC) Notes from the Board 

Happy Easter! 

YARD OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH: 

Congratulations to 5615 Charlestown Colony Drive! 

Although Hurricane Harvey reeked wide spread havoc in our community 

and the release of the Addick’s Reservoir caused 80% of our 

subdivision to flood, winning yard of the month is a testament of our 

community’s resiliency despite all the tragedy we experienced. 

As we continue to beautify our homes, we should not forget to celebrate 

the mile stones of our progress. There are many events happening now 

and later this Spring, let’s give ourselves a break every now and again. 

Remember, we are Charlestown Colony Strong and we will come back 

stronger, better and more beautiful than before Hurricane Harvey!

ANNUAL DUES PAYMENT 

Thank you to all who have paid your HOA dues! If HOA dues have not 

been paid yet, expect a certified letter soon with penalties. In order 

to avoid additional costs and fees, there are several options to make 

HOA payments. As of February 1 st , unpaid annual dues are considered 

delinquent and subject to late fees and penalties. Our management 

company has new policies and procedures in place to collect on past 

due HOA assessments. If these have not been paid yet, please make 

every effort to pay or make a payment arrangement. The Board worked 

diligently to maintain our HOA dues at $300 for 2018 although the 

neighborhood incurred additional expenses caused by the flooding. 

There are several payment options available.

HOME RENOVATION PROJECTS 

Many of us are in various phases of renovating our homes. Please be conscious 

of our deed restrictions and the Architectural Review form required 

to complete exterior projects such as replacing fences, exterior painting 

and pretty much any other exterior project attached to the home that 

can be viewed from the street. The Architectural form can be obtained 

from Principle Management Group Houston (PMG). We have all endured 

a lot due to the flood and have probably filled out enough forms over the 

last few months to last a life time. However, this form is just another step 

in the renovation process and keeping the project on track. Our deed 

restrictions have these forms in place to maintain the appearance of 

Charlestown Colony. If exterior projects are completed without consent, 

the homeowner could be subject to make changes such as re-painting 

the house all over again which is costly and time consuming. Most of the 

Architectural Review forms can be processed within 10 business days, but 

it could take up to 30 days. If it is urgent, please indicate that on the form 

and include a phone number. PMG may be able to offer a verbal, “yes” to 

get the project started while the form is being processed. 

DEBRIS REMOVAL & DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS 

The Board has graciously given us until May 1 st to have all debris 

removed from in front of our homes without receiving one of those 

dreaded deed restriction violation letters. Please make every effort 

to have the renovation projects complete by this time. If more time is 

needed, the board and management company will review these on a 

case-by-case basis. Please reach out to the management company. 

TRASH PICK-UP 

As we continue to work on renovating our homes, please be cognizant 

of trash collection dates and the items that should be included in the 

trash for pick up. If the trashcans are left out, there is a possibility that 

a deed restriction violation letter may be sent. 

Trash Pick-up is Monday and Thursday by WCA unless it falls on one 

of the holidays below. 

Mondays - Heavy Trash and Recycling 

Thursdays - Normal Trash Pick-up 

2018 Holidays (No Trash Pick-up):

(CC) DEED RESTRICTIONS 

Please remember that deed restrictions are strongly enforced and any 

outside construction or major landscaping changes to your home must be 

approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). ACC contact information 

for Concord Colony is on the inside back cover of this newsletter. 

GEORGETOWN COLONY I 

(GC1) GARBAGE CANS 

Many neighbors have been storing their garbage cans in view from the 

street. This is in violation of the deed restrictions and appropriate actions 

are subject to corrective action. 

Also, please remember to place garbage curbside after 6 PM, the night 

before pickup. 

(GC1) GARAGE SALES 

According to the State Comptroller’s office, garage sales are permitted 

only twice annually. If more than that, it will be assumed that a business 

is being operated out of home, which is in direct violation of the deed 

restrictions and necessary action will be taken. 

(GC1) LOST AND FOUND PETS 

The first thing to do if you find a lost dog that does not have a tag, is to 

take it to any vet’s clinic or Petsmart and have it scanned for a micro chip. 

This is the fastest way to get the dog back to its owner. If it does not 

have a micro chip, please look for signs to make sure the dog gets back 

to its rightful owner. A dog that is left to wander is subject to being hit 

by a car, abuse or starving to death. Those of you who are dog owners, 

please be sure to keep a collar and tag on it at all times. Even if the dog 

is micro chipped, it is much easier to return the dog to you if it has your 

contact information on a tag.

this together, get involved!

hands dirty. Happy planting. 

(YTC) GARDENING 

In addition to the pleasure of watching finches, wrens and cardinals 

flit about your garden, many song birds also consume those pesky 

insects that can make outdoor living a misery. Keep in mind that birds 

are attracted to particular plants for three specific reasons: shelter, 

nesting and food.

Most backyard birds eat a combination of seeds, berries and insects. 

But in late spring and early summer, birds are busy filling 

the mouths of their hatchlings and baby birds like nothing better 

than freshly caught bugs. 

That’s good news for gardeners, because garden pests are usually 

at their peak in late spring and early summer. Our bird friends can 

save us lots of headaches by combing our gardens for cabbage 

worms, whiteflies, aphids, earwigs, grasshoppers, cucumber beetles 

and grubs! 

BUG EATERS 

Below is a list of common backyard birds and some of the insect 

pests they eat. Next time you see or hear a bird in your yard, you can 

breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that they’re on your side, helping 

you keep your garden healthy and looking good. 

• Bluebirds: grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, larvae, moths 

• Cardinals: beetles, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, stinkbugs, snails 

• Chickadees: aphids, whitefly, scale, caterpillars, ants, earwigs 

• Grosbeaks: larvae, caterpillars, beetles 

• Nuthatches: tree and shrub insects such as borers, caterpillars, 

ants and earwigs 

• Oriole: caterpillars, larvae, beetles, grasshoppers 

• Sparrows: beetles, caterpillars, cutworms 

• Swallows: moths, beetles, grasshoppers 

• Titmice: aphids, leafhoppers, caterpillars, beetles 

• Warblers: caterpillars, aphids, whitefly 

• Woodpeckers: larvae, beetles 

• Cover: When designing a landscape to attract birds, it’s important to 

provide places where they can hide or take cover from the weather. 

During the spring and summer, birds also need nesting sites. Twiggy 

shrubs and small trees offer many appealing nesting options. If your 

landscape is always tidy and well kept, consider designating one area 

that can be allowed to develop more naturally. Remember that more 

nesting birds means more hungry mouths to feed and more doting 

parents combing your yard for food. 

• Water: Birds are attracted to water for drinking and bathing - 

especially if that water is moving. If you already have a birdbath, 

consider adding a bubbler to it. If you don’t already have a birdbath, 

think about an outdoor fountain instead. 

• Food: Keep at least one feeder filled with a quality seed blend 

that will appeal to chickadees, grosbeaks, cardinals and sparrows. 

Also consider non-melting suet cakes that will keep titmice and 

woodpeckers coming to your yard. While they’re in the area, they’ll 

munch on insect larvae and other delicacies. 

(YTC) FENCES 

When repairing your fence, work together with your joining neighbor 

as this fence is shared by both. Any portions of the fence facing 

the street must have the smooth side facing thestreet and any 

modifications such as moving the fence up closer to the street or 

out must have an ACC form approval. 


(YTC) TRASH TALK 

The leaves and other tree debris is crazy right now, please do your part 

to help keep the streets clean and heighten your curb appeal. Sweep, 

blow, rake and bag, put the bags on the side of the house until trash day. 

If you have your yard mowed before or after trash pickup, please do not 

leave the bag on the curb, remove it and put it out on the next pickup day. 

Please put your garbage bags in trash cans as we have tons of stray cats 

and other critters that get into the bags and scatter trash everywhere. 

If you see suspicious vehicles or people in the neighborhood, please 

call the sheriff’s department 713-221-6000.

HELP HORNE ELEMENTARY! 

An easy way to help our school is to turn trash into cash. Horne 

Elementary participates in the Box Tops for Education program. 

Some of the grocery items we use have Box Tops on them. Each 

Box Top is worth 10 cents for the school. You would pick up a dime 

on street - so cut out the Box Tops and donate to Horne! You can 

find the Box Tops logo on hundreds of products like Cheerios®, 

Hamburger Helper® and Kleenex®, in almost every aisle of the store. 

To donate the Box Tops, simply bring them to the reception desk 

at Horne, give them to a family with children who attend Horne 

or contact this year’s coordinator, Rufina Bonilla, for pick up. Her 

email address is rufinamb@gmail.com and her cell phone number 

is 713-294-6940. Let’s collect them all year long and give Horne a 

big boost to start the new school year!

GARAGE SALE TIPS 

• Some things you may want to consider selling are: clothing, books, 

linens (especially sheet sets or towel sets), costume jewelry, curtains 

and rods, cassette tapes, Christmas or other holiday items, 

glassware, kitchen items and tools. 

• If you haven’t used an item in a year or so, consider selling it. 

If it has been two or more years, SELL IT. 

• Clean items could be priced at about 30% of new retail, 

but that is only a guideline. 

• Old, stained (but clean) t-shirts make great rags. Bag them up 

and sell a bunch at a time. 

• Items with missing pieces or broken should be free - 

someone may want parts. 

• Display some of your more interesting items at the end 

of the driveway to lure people in. 


• Background music creates a relaxing atmosphere - pick middle 

of the road, easy listening. 

• If it is hot, have the kids sell cold soft drinks or have a water jug and paper 

cups handy. The longer you can keep customers, the more they will buy. 

• Have some “guy things” out front: an old lawn mower, some tools; set up 

a guy table with jars of screws and nails, electronic parts, fishing stuff, 

camping stuff, etc. 

• Your sale will be more successful if you take the time and make sure everything 

is clean and displayed well. During the sale, keep busy by filling in the empty 

spots on your tables by rearranging your stuff. 

• Have plastic grocery bags available to put sold items in; also, it’s a good idea 

to have newspaper handy to wrap breakable items. 

GOOD LUCK!

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many pests that 

die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy 'loose' mulch that is trucked 

to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more 

on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 

4" - 6" below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in 

minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12" - 18" 

back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18" - 24" wide 

around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as 

long as you keep it 4" - 6" below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite 

infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or 

(especially) ivy that grows on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates overwintering 

pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest onslaught of summer 

with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents 

most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a 

healthy winter's dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown patch 

in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in some areas, here 

are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2" rain or more - then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1" - 2") for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger 

and more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!!

Nearly all children with 5p-Syndrome have 

poor muscle tone when they are young. Other 

characteristics may include feeding difficulties, 

delays in walking, hyperactivity, scoliosis 

and significant developmental delays. A small 

number of children are born with serious organ 

defects and other life threatening medical 

conditions, although most individuals with 5pcan 

anticipate a normal life expectancy. With

an impact on her research to improve current treatment protocols for 

solid tumors and to ultimately find a cure for these cancers. 

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

formed by a Cypress, Texas family whose daughter bravely fought and 

won, her battle with a rare cancerous solid tumor in 2010. Through 

this battle, we became aware of the severe lack of funding available 

for pediatric cancer research and institutions that care for these young 

warriors depend greatly on money raised by nonprofits like The Laurel’s 

Army Foundation. For more information, please visit us at www.

SPRING CLEANING 

YOUR HOME 

It’s 2018. A brand new year. A chance to start 

afresh, breathe in the new and make resolutions. 

While you’re feeling enthused about a 

year that’s new, now is the perfect time to look 

around your living space and start doing some 

spring cleaning. 

Gifts 

Are there any gifts you received over the holidays 

or for your birthdays over the years that you 

don’t like for whatever reason? Maybe they’re 

clothes that didn’t fit or perfume you didn’t 

like the smell of. Unless they hold sentimental 

value for you, let them go. Sell them. They’re 

taking up space. 

Jewelry 

If you have jewelry or lots of them, go through 

them all. Which ones still speak to you and which 

ones no longer do? Let go of the ones that don’t. 

It will also make you appreciate the ones you’ve 

decided to keep all the more. 

Books 

Go through your book collection. Get rid of the ones 

you’re truly never going to read. Consider gifting 

some of the ones you’ve read to someone else. 

Books are beautiful - the feel of them, the smell 

of them, being able to physically hold one, the 

turning over of a page. However, give some 

thought to whether there are some of your books 

you’d be willing to part with and instead, access 

their digital versions using an electronic reader 

like a Kindle or a Fire tablet. 

Magazines/CDs/DVDs 

Do you still have piles of old magazines, CDs, 

DVDs? Let them all go. If there are any that are 

of particular value, sell them and give the rest 

to charity. 

Appliances/Technology 

Most people have an appliance stored away 

that they have never used or hardly use. A coffee 

machine or smoothie maker, for instance. Any 

damaged ones you’ve been telling yourself you’ll 

fix one day or spare laptops or computers you 

rarely ever use can all be gotten rid of. 

Shoes/Clothes 

This is the last thing listed but is probably the 

first thing you should go through. However, you 

can build up to it by doing one of the things 

already listed. Unless you’re a minimalist, there 

are probably clothes and shoes of yours you can 

go through and say your goodbyes to. Challenge 

yourself to get rid of at least a quarter of it. For 

every three items you choose to keep, let go of 

one item. 

Spring cleaning can be freeing. You’re clearing 

energy. It can make your living space feel lighter 

and make you feel lighter too. Imagine how it’ll 

feel once you’ve finished spring cleaning your 

home, knowing that most of what you’ve chosen 

to keep is what you actually want. 

The New Year can also be a good time to start 

planning for any work you may want done on 

your home. If you live in an old building and plan 

on hiring someone to do the work for you, ensure 

they have the appropriate lead certification first.

IRS TAX DEADLINE 

People have until Tuesday, April 17, 2018, to file their 2017 returns 

and pay any taxes due. The filing tax deadline is later this year due 

to several factors. The usual April 15 th deadline falls on Sunday this 

year, which would normally give taxpayers until at least the following 

Monday. However, Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, is 

observed on Monday, April 16 th , giving taxpayers nationwide an additional 

day to file. By law, Washington holidays impact tax deadlines for 

everyone in the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting 

an extension will have until Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, to file. 

The IRS expects more than 70 percent of taxpayers to get tax refunds 

this year. Last year, nearly 112 million refunds were issued, with an 

average refund of $2,895.
