POOL 

The Pool is now open year around. The pool hours will stay the same. Pool 

hours are Tuesday-Sunday 6 AM-10 PM. These hours will be enforced. 

There are cameras at the pool and officers will be sent out if necessary. 

Remember, no smoking, cussing, rough housing, pets, unaccompanied 

children under 14 at the pool. The rules are posted at the pool for your 

reference. Our pool contractor has informed us that he will be giving the 

pool a heavy dose of chlorine/chemicals on Friday mornings in order to 

support the weekend crowds. We suggest that you DO NOT swim before 

9 AM on Fridays in order to avoid any skin irritation. Thank you for your 

cooperation in this matter. You MUST be current on your HOA dues or 

be on a payment plan to gain access to the pool. As of now, all of the 

opportunities to get your pool cards/bands have passed. You will need 

an activated pool access card, pool wristbands and a signed waiver to 

swim this year. If you still need these items, you will need to call TxMgmt 

at 832-910-7525 for assistance. There will be a $20 convenience fee for 

the management company to get you an activated pool card. You should 

be able to pay this fee over the phone with a credit card. You will need 

to turn in your old access card to a TxMgmt employee or pay a $10 

charge for a new card. You can pick up your card from TxMgmt in The 

Woodlands or wait for delivery (could be up to 2 weeks). You will need to 

sign paperwork and give them your old card in order to get an activated 

card and 2018 bands. If you are a new renter to the community, please 

call TxMgmt at 832-910-7525 to fill out a Renter’s Information Form so 

that you will be in the system and able to get pool cards/bands. 

You must send in the waiver that was included in your dues notice. Texas 

Management will activate them from the 15 th -30 th of each month until 

the Annual meeting. 

DÉCOR OF THE SEASON: 

Copperbrook is happy to announce we will be awarding trophies 4 times 

throughout the year now! Best Spring yard will be judged on April 15 th 

or later. Best Summer yard will be judged on July 15 th or later. Best 

Halloween yard will be judged on October 31 st and best Christmas yard 

will be judged on December 25 th . So, keep those yards looking great so 

you can earn bragging rights!

ALARM PERMITS: 

Our contracted officers have asked that we remind our residents that it 

is a requirement by Harris County that you register your alarm system 

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

year. The fees are waived if you are over 65, but you must still register 

your alarm. Residents face a $75 false alarm fee if officers respond to your 

alarm and it isn’t registered. You can get details about registering your 

alarm here: www.hcsoalarmpermit.com. 

CRIME ALERT: 

Residents need to know that there has been a marked increase in crime 

in our community and surrounding areas, including recent car burglaries 

and a burglary/assault in March 2018. Harris County MUD 130 pays for 

the contract officers for our community. They are being extra vigilant 

and are aware of the increase in activity in recent months. Copperbrook 

appreciates our officer’s efforts, but we as residents MUST do our part 

as well. Upon speaking to one of our contract deputies at the December 

Board meeting, he indicated that the flood lights above the garage that 

are motion activated, are a great deterrent and a great way to alert officers 

to movement when they are making their rounds at night. We would 

like to encourage neighbors to protect each other’s lives and property 

by watching for and reporting suspicious activities... the residents 

become the “eyes” of the patrolling deputies. If you see something, SAY 

something! The object is to prevent a crime from happening by having a 

deputy check out even the slightest irregularity in your street’s normal 

routine. Our deputies would prefer to spend 10 minutes checking out a 

call rather than follow up on a crime that has already been committed. 

Please don’t hesitate to call 911 when you see anything suspicious. 

And PLEASE lock your cars and remove all valuables! If you would like 

to learn more about crime in the area, visit www.crimereports.com for 

information. 

VIOLATION/PAST DUE LETTERS: 

Simply stated, if you get a violation letter or you are past due in your 

HOA dues, PLEASE call the TXMGMT at 832-910-7525 to discuss a 

payment plan or get an extension on a needed repair to your property. 

The management company and Board of Directors are not unreasonable 

and will make every reasonable effort to work with residents if you will 

make an effort on your part to either initiate the repairs or pay the fines, 

whichever the case. Communication is simple and vital to keeping the 

issue from escalating. The Board of Directors along with TXMGMT plan 

to be consistent and proactive in keeping our community looking great, 

feeling safe and making sure dues and fines are collected in a timely 

manner and homes and yards are kept up to a standard to which we can 

all be proud. 

If you need a copy of the deed restrictions, please email copperbrookhoa@ 

gmail.com and we will send you a copy.

MANAGEMENT COMPANY: 

Our management company for our community is TXMGMT LLC and our 

manager is Juan Galvan. Questions about payments, deed restrictions, 

improvements to your property, violation issues or just general inquiries 

should be directed to TXMGMT. They can be reached at 832-910-7525. 

Their mailing address is P.O. Box 9184, The Woodlands, TX 77387. They 

can also be reached by email at service@txmgmt.com. 

NEXT DOOR APP: 

This is a free app so homeowners can communicate instantly with 

one another. This app can be used to request referrals from other 

homeowners such as plumber, landscaper or a fence company. You can 

also post lost or found pets, report suspicious vehicle or person in the 

neighborhood. All you need to do is download the app and enter the 

information they request. The information that is requested is the same 

information you can already obtain online so do not let this deter you 

from looking into the app. 

MONTHLY MEETING: 

Copperbrook HOA would like to welcome all homeowners to come to our 

monthly meetings at La Madeleine the first Tuesday of every month at 

5 PM. The open session where we welcome residents to attend starts at 6 

PM. If the door to the meeting room is closed, simply knock and the Board 

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

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

involved and stay connected to your community. If you know ahead of 

time that you will attend or you have a particular concern that you would 

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

Renovations 

We are aware that on occasion homeowners receive letters from 

the management company that are considered unwarranted by the 

homeowner. If you plan to do a small renovation or do major cleaning 

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

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

and make them aware of your activities so that she can make a note on 

your account in order to avoid a letter being sent out. 

If you are planning a major renovation to the exterior of your home by 

painting your house, replacing your fence or adding storage to your 

yard, remember to contact our neighborhood’s Architectural Review 

Committee. You can call TXMGMT (our management company) to inquire 

about the proper forms needed to make your submission and they will 

gladly email the forms to you. We hope to have these forms available 

for download on the community website soon. The Architectural Review 

Committee will review the request to make sure the request meets the 

neighborhoods deed restrictions. The committee’s approval must be 

granted before making such changes to the facades of the home such 

as paint colors, roof colors and burglar bars (which are prohibited on 

the front doors or any windows). Also, sheds and canopies should not 

be visible from the street. If you submit a request to the Architectural 

Review Committee and it gets denied, please call TXMGMT (our 

management company) to inquire as to why your project was denied. 

It may be as simple as additional information is needed (ex: paint color, 

pictures, lot survey). If you are thinking about a project you are invited 

to attend the monthly HOA meeting to get any questions answered prior 

to submission. If you need a copy of the deed restrictions, please email 

copperbrookhoa@gmail.com and we will send you a copy. 

Safety 

PARK AND POOL SAFETY: 

Parents please accompany all children to the park and pool for their 

safety. The playground opens at sunrise and closes at sundown. Please 

call 911 if you see any suspicious activity, persons or vehicles. This 

area is monitored by surveillance cameras, however as homeowners, 

we need to assist the police and play an active role in keeping our 

community safe! 

6 


NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY: 

PLEASE lock your doors and remove all valuables so that there is little 

temptation and hopefully nothing taken if they do break in your vehicle. 

There have also been reports of crimes at the new park (Charles Austin 

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

Please be alert to things such as unknown cars idling, circling the 

neighborhood, increased traffic at a particular home and driving slowly 

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

the suspicious activity. It would be helpful if you could provide any of the 

following information to the 911 operator or sheriff’s department when 

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

plate number. Please be discrete and keep in mind safety is priority. Also, 

if you notice a lot of traffic and multiple vehicles coming and going from a 

location please call the sheriff’s office and inform them of the high traffic 

volume of that location. It takes a community effort to keep a community 

safe. The HOA is cooperating with the local law enforcement in keeping 

this a safe community for our families. 

SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS: 

Surveillance cameras are installed at the pool house. The cameras are 

positioned to monitor the pool areas, the park grounds and the parking 

lot. HOA Board members have 24-hour access to view the ongoing 

activities of these areas. All suspicious activities will be reported to the 

Sheriff’s Office immediately. 

Committee Information 

If you’re thinking about getting more involved in our community, joining 

a committee is a great start! Feel free to attend a monthly meeting to 

learn more about these opportunities. The Copperbrook HOA is looking 

for volunteers for the following committees: 

EVENTS COMMITTEE: 

The events committee oversees the newly organized welcoming 

committee, which will be providing welcome baskets to new 

homeowners. The event committee is also responsible for decorating the 

monuments at Christmastime organizing the bi-annual garage sales and 

hosting the neighborhood events such as National Night Out and Snow 

Day at the Park. 

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COMMITTEE: 

The Copperbrook neighborhood watch committee NEEDS volunteers 

who are willing to drive around at different time to help keep an eye on 

things. The HOA would like to add more volunteers to provide greater 

coverage throughout the 24 hour day. If you would like to volunteer, 

please call Milton Turner at 281-859-6044. We could really use more 

patrols from 10 PM to 6 AM. Volunteers can select their time and will be 

requested to drive down each street and report any suspicious activity to 

the police and to inform the neighborhood watch committee chair of any 

activity observed. You will be issued a decal to place on your vehicle so as 

to identify you as part of the Crime Watch if requested. 

PARK AND YARD COMMITTEE: 

The park and yard committee check the park and pool areas to report 

any maintenance that needs to be done and also helps select the yard 

of the season. 

If you have a great idea for a committee and would like to chair that 

committee, we would love to hear from you. Our monthly meetings are 

the first Tuesday of the month.

Annual Superintendent’s Fun Run 

And Festival Raises Record $110,000 

Nearly 6,000 Cypress-Fairbanks ISD staff, students, community members 

and business partners came together at the Berry Center and Cy-Fair FCU 

Stadium for the sixth annual Superintendent’s Fun Run and Festival on 

March 2 nd . The fundraiser culminated with CFISD and Memorial Hermann 

Cypress Hospital representatives presenting a check worth a record 

$110,000 to the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation (CFEF). 

The event featured a 5K run and 1-mile family-friendly walk/run. Both had 

new course layouts, with the 5K race taking place through Towne Lake 

and Lone Star College-CyFair. The family path included the walkways on 

the stadium’s home side and featured high school inflatable tunnels on 

the field and spirit teams encouraging participants. Sponsor and vendor 

booths, food trucks, bounce houses and student performances made the 

day even more special for all event guests. 

“We had great crowds and we brought in a record total. I can’t sufficiently 

thank our CFISD employees, community and of course, our title sponsor, 

Memorial Hermann Cypress,” said Dr. Mark Henry, CFISD superintendent 

of schools. “It’s just a great event. When you’re in a large community and 

a large district, a community event like this brings us all a little closer 

together. That’s what it’s really all about.” 

The event drew approximately 4,400 total race participants. In addition, 

1,400 registered for the sleep-in pass, which allowed an option for those 

who wanted to support the CFEF but were unable to attend. Nearly 550 

students volunteered, while 18 student performance groups entertained 

race and festival participants. Student performances included the 

Cypress Lakes High School R.E.D. Storm, Tipps Elementary School 

Synergy Squad, Pope Elementary School percussion ensemble, Francone 

Elementary School Hoopers and M. Robinson Elementary School choir. 

“This community comes out and supports Cy-Fair ISD and the Cy-Fair 

Educational Foundation and Memorial Hermann Cypress is just proud to 

be a small part of that,” said Heath Rushing, Memorial Hermann Cypress 

and Katy senior vice president and CEO. “The community supports us 

and we can’t do what we do without that support, so when there are 

opportunities for us to give back and help provide scholarships for 

students within the district, it’s really easy for us to come out here and be 

part of such a great event.”

Month Long Movement Celebrates 

Love And Kindness At Cy Falls 

By Alise Maxie, 

Cypress Falls HS 

Every Valentine’s Day, 

#LoveInTheFalls finds its 

way around Cypress Falls 

High School social media 

and is echoed throughout 

the building. This year, 

Cypress Falls Principal 

Becky Denton wanted to 

expand on the trend and 

hashtag. The end result 

was “Falls Acts of Love,” 

a monthlong celebration 

throughout February to 

remind students to be kind 

and share love throughout 

the school. 

Cypress Falls High School U.S. History teachers 

Jennifer Bullock and Samantha Smith. 

“We’re in a world where 

we just are really tempted 

to look down and stare at 

our phones, mind our own 

business and we don’t 

really connect anymore,” 

Denton said. She started 

the celebration on the first day of the month. Denton took a few minutes 

near the end of first period and encouraged students to get to know 

those around them. 

For this activity, Denton asked students to find someone they don’t 

really talk to in that particular class period and get to know him or her. 

She provided questions to help start conversations, including those on 

finding out favorite hobbies and other interests. 

“I think they made a difference,” junior Ally Murray said. “I met a really 

cool person from the talking-to-a-student-I-don’t-talk-to activity and 

created a friendship that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise.” 

Along with talking to others in class, Denton also challenged students to 

unplug in February and “look up” in the hallways. For one passing period 

during the day, students were asked to take out their headphones and 

observe who they actually walk by on the way to their next class each day. 

They were also encouraged to give a compliment or a simple greeting. 

“There is always going be room for growth of kindness and positivity,” 

senior Victoria Rackler said. “I think that this is a good way to try to achieve 

that goal.” Throughout the month, certain groups such as seniors, athletes, 

departments and others were challenged to perform acts of kindness. 

Seniors used the opportunity to decorate walls with posters that offered 

advice for underclassmen. Groups and sports teams delivered candy 

to teachers. The baseball team delivered handwritten letters, while the 

girls’ soccer team hosted a clinic for LIFE Skills students. Students in 

the New Arrival Center made 51 personalized Valentine’s Day cards for 

their fellow students in the special education department. Culinary Arts’ 

students delivered oatmeal cookies to CTE teachers in their mailboxes.

Denton helped assemble a “take what you need” wall, which included 

notes with motivational messages that could be removed by students 

who needed encouragement throughout the day. 

The feedback has been positive from students. “I’ve gotten to see how 

other programs in our school work and gained a better appreciation for 

everyone and what they do for me,” Rackler said.

Bank joins the Foundation as our new tournament underwriter. IBI 

Group, Linebarger Attorneys at Law and Zenith Real Estate Group are 

supporting CFEF again this year as Platinum Sponsors. Gold Sponsors 

include Cromdane Steel, Division One Construction, PBK, Salas O’Brien 

and Satterfield & Pontikes Construction. The Backyard Grill joins 

Carl’s BBQ as our dinner sponsors. Caldwell Companies has been the 

tournament lunch sponsor since 2011. 

One of the largest non-celebrity tournaments in the Houston area, the 

B.F. Adam Golf Classic is a prime example of our trustees and community 

business partners working together to raise scholarship funds for 

students of Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. Our first tournament raised $3,500 

and over the past 30 years the B. F. Adam Golf Classic has successfully 

raised almost $3.5M. 

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to fund 

scholarships for high school graduates. Through the generosity of the 

Cy-Fair community and commitment from the Board of Trustees, the 

Foundation has grown tremendously with scholarship awards totaling 

more than $8.5M to graduating seniors from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. CFEF 

is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all contributions are tax deductible, 

as allowed by the law.

Still on the Fence About Hosting an 

Exchange Student? 

You don’t have any kids? Are you a single parent? Same sex couple? An 

empty nester? This is not a problem, we place our students in all kinds 

of families! 

You’re not rich? Neither am I! Your exchange student comes with their 

own spending money and health insurance. All you provide is room/ 

board and three meals a day. Oh and TLC…but that’s free. 

Live in the middle of nowhere? Small town? Not a big deal. Some kids prefer 

to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The exchange students 

also do pretty well in small schools, as they usually get to be the center of 

attention and make friends rather quickly. Our students also get chances 

to travel to New York, Washington DC, Hawaii and California… so they can 

get their fill of the city life and return back to the peaceful sounds of nature. 

Do you consider yourself a boring person? More than likely this is not true 

and you should quit being so hard on yourself. Your student will make 

friends. Your student will meet other exchange students. Your student will 

attend activities offered by our program. Your student will get involved in 

sports and school clubs. Your purpose is not to entertain them. But you 

might find that you bring a little adventure to each other’s lives. 

Kids are too young? Great! Lots of students love young kids and your kids 

will love them. It’s beneficial to introduce your kids to new cultures at a 

very young age. You’re preparing them to accept people no matter what 

the religion, color of their skin,or language they speak. That my friend, is 

good parenting. 

Don’t hold back! This is a great experience for both parties. You get the 

opportunity to change a child’s life. You get the satisfaction of seeing 

them grow, even after they leave your home into becoming a doctor, a 

lawyer, a diplomat, artist, teacher… the list goes on. And you contributed 

to that success! And the best part of it all, is you gain another family 

member for life. We need people like you to give these kids a chance. 

STS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to place 

exchange students in our area. If you are interest in hosting, please 

contact me at 832-455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com. I’ll be 

happy to answer any question you might have and get you started on 

hosting your very own student!

Gardening Tips For April 

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!!
