COPPER LAKES RESIDENT ELECTED TO THE ANGELO STATE 

UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS HALL OF HONOR: CLASS OF 2020 

Tommie S. Tyler, Jr., long-time Copper Lakes resident has been elected to the Athletics Hall of 

Honor: Class of 2020 for Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas. Tyler set multiple records 

while playing for the Rams basketball team from 1979-1983, including points scored (1,426), 

rebounding (852), free throws attempted (620) and free throws made (428). He continues to hold 

three Ram records and now ranks second in career points and career double-doubles (18). Due to 

COVID-19 the University has postponed the induction ceremony to a future date to be determined. 

Mr. Tyler graduated from Angelo State in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science degree and recently retired 

from the Houston Police Department after a 32 year career in law enforcement. Many Copper Lakes 

area residents know him as “the guy who runs backwards” through the neighborhood.

COPPER LAKES BAGGED 

CLIPPINGS AND YARD WASTE 

It has come to the attention of the HOA that many residents/homeowners 

place bagged yard clippings on the curb prior to the appropriate time 

when such items can be placed there for trash pick. As pointed out in 

Section 6.6 of the Deed Restrictions: 

“...container may he placed in a designated area for garbage or trash 

pickup no earlier than six o’clock p.m. on the day preceding trash pickup 

of such garbage...” 

If you cut your own grass and bag the clippings please leave them at the 

curb in accordance with the day and time of the deed restrictions. 

If you have a service cut your lawn and they bag your clippings, please

Serving your community for over 20 years! 


consider asking them to mulch the clippings instead of bagging. If they 

do bag, please do not leave the bag at the curb unless it is in compliance 

with Section 6.6 of the Deed Restrictions. 

Most experts agree that it is better to leave the clippings on your lawn 

as they return nutrients and it is much easier than bagging. By mulching 

your grass clippings you are also saving time for you and the trash pick 

contractors as well as preserving landfill space. 

The Full Text of Section 6.6 is below: 

SECTION 6.6. RESTRICTIONS ON GARBAGE AND TRASH - No refuse, garbage, 

trash, lumber, grass, shrub or tree clippings, plant waste, compost, metal, 

hulk materials, scrap, refuse or debris of any kind shall be kept, stored or 

allowed to accumulate on any Lot except within an enclosed container of 

a type, size and style approved by the Board and appropriately screened 

from view, except that any such container may he placed in a designated 

area for garbage or trash pickup no earlier than six o’clock p.m. on the day 

preceding trash pickup of such garbage and trash and shall he returned 

to an enclosed structure or an area appropriately screened from view no 

later than midnight of the day of pickup of such garbage and trash. 

SECURITY REPORT - COPPER LAKES 

To keep everyone in Copper Lakes better informed about the kinds of 

incidences occurring on your street or near your homes, we are recommending 

our Copper Lakes neighbors take advantage of the following resources: 

www.crimereports.com - Zoom-in to Copper Lakes to see what is 

happening in our neighborhood. The incidences are recorded by the 

HCSO. To get the most out of the site, it’s a good idea to register - after 

which you will be able to open the website starting in Copper Lakes 

and have access to historical data as well. Take some time to familiarize 

yourself with all of the features on the website. It’s a valuable asset. 

www.iwatchharriscounty.com - Download this smart phone app and 

start reporting incidences directly to the HCSO without having to wait in 

line on the HCSO non-emergency hot line 713-221-6000. 

713-221-6000 - This is the non-emergency HCSO phone number for 

reporting suspicious activity. Please report everything every time you see 

it. This will give the HCSO statistical trends for Copper Lakes, so they can 

adjust their patrol accordingly. 

911 - Use this number anytime you feel threatened or in danger or you 

think someone else might be in danger. 

copperlakes.nextdoor.com - This free website is for Copper Lakes residents 

to stay informed about incidences occurring in our neighborhood - as 

well as the neighborhoods adjacent to Copper Lakes. 

www.facebook.com/groups/231835823536719 - This Copper Lakes 

Facebook page is another informative place to stay in contact with your 

neighbors and discuss issues relevant to Copper Lakes. 

Please make a note of all house addresses around your home - even the 

ones behind your backyard. And create a map of these addresses. This is 

very important because if you ever need to call 911, the Dispatcher must 

have a real street address for the incident. 

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. 

LOST AND FOUND PETS 

Residents can now place pictures and information for lost and found 

animals under the neighborhood pictures tab of the Copper Lakes 

website, www.copperlakes.com. If you have lost or found a pet, please 

use this great tool to let the neighborhood know and hopefully reunite 

the pet with their family. 

ATTENTION! PET POOPS / YOU SCOOP 

Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If your 

pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash. Come with 

a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It may not be the 

most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show your respect for 

every homeowner 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. 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. To 

make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact:

ALL 12 CFISD HIGH SCHOOLS 

RECEIVE LTE 1:1 CHROMEBOOKS 

All 12 CFISD high schools have received Chromebooks for students as 

part of the district’s LTE (Learning Together Everywhere) 1:1 program. 

Rollouts began before the Thanksgiving holiday and were completed 

before winter break. More than 75,000 CFISD students have received a 

Chromebook, which includes 100% of high school students having their 

own device. In addition, 52% of elementary students and 46% of middle 

school students have received their individually issued Chromebook. 

CFISD has met all requests of CFISD Connect students who indicated a 

need for a device in order to be successful while learning remotely. 

“Successfully deploying individually issued Chromebooks to all 

high school students in CFISD is an incredible feat that could not be 

accomplished without the support of the community and the CFISD 

Board of Trustees,” said Katie Gentry, director of 1:1 and inventory systems. 

“These devices will enable teachers to transform learning anytime, 

anywhere, allowing students to reach their full potential for college and 

career readiness. The spirit of CFISD was evident in this project as many 

departments stepped up and heeded the call to think outside the box to 

make this happen in an expedient manner for our high school students 

across the district.” 

In a special-called meeting on July 7 th , the CFISD Board of Trustees 

unanimously voted in favor of authorizing the superintendent to approve 

the purchase of portable electronic devices, LTE internet access and 

other items needed to support a one-to-one solution for CFISD students. 

The LTE 1:1 program provides every student with an electronic device to 

support quality instruction and resources. The program allows CFISD to 

meet the needs of all students by providing appropriate teacher-directed 

instruction, including real-time live virtual instruction.

CREATE A LIGHT JAR 

Get Mason jars, mayo or pickle jars or even some vases 

and I use the battery operated string lights to make 

“normal” decorations. In one, along with the lights, 

I have the glass beads you can get at the dollar store 

in many colors, in another I have seashells we got in 

Galveston. I am sure you can find something that would 

match your own home and style to place in these. 

So if you are like me and just need that pick-me-up of 

some bright twinkling lights once the decorations are 

all down, make one or more of these and have them 

year round!

ICONIC FIGHTER JET TO BE REFURBISHED AND UNVEILED BY THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 521 

“ONE MORE MISSION” - COATING SOCIETY OF HOUSTON MEMBERS TAKE PROJECT TO COMPLETION 

On July 29, 1984 American Legion Post 521 received a F4D Fighter Jet from the Air Force Reclamation Center and dedicated it to all POW’s and MIA’s 

from all wars and conflicts involving the United States of America. Recently, the Post reached out to the Coating Society of Houston for assistance in 

refurbishing this iconic piece of memorabilia, which was showing extreme decay due to local weather conditions. 

“We have been working getting this plane restored for several years and were finally able to find a group that was willing to donate their time and 

materials to helping us,” said Joseph Thomas, 22 nd District Commander of the American Legion Department of Texas.

NATIONAL LIBRARY LOVER’S MONTH 

The entire month of February is dedicated to the people who love whole 

buildings devoted to the reading, housing organizing, categorizing, finding, 

studying and otherwise loving books. It’s National Library Lover’s Month! 

Libraries provide so much more than a place for us to enjoy great novels 

or to discover amazing adventures and untold history. Yes, they help us 

ace our research papers and provide a quiet space to study, but they do 

so much more. 

For preschoolers, libraries entertain them with theater and hands-on 

activities exposing them to music, art and their first friendships. Many 

communities rely on their libraries for meeting space for public forums, 

socials, fundraisers and classes. 

Libraries lend not only books but music and movies. Rotating art displays 

give local artists exposure to the community. Larger libraries provide 

preservation services, preserving some of the most treasured books, 

periodicals and documents for future generations. 

Continue enjoying your library, but consider volunteering your time, too. 

If you don’t have a library card, it’s never too late! Visit your library to get 

one! Use #NationalLibraryLoversDay to share on social media.

GARDENING TIPS FOR FEBRUARY 

FLOWERS 

• Plants to set: Alyssum, Calendula, Canterbury Bells, Carnations, 

Columbine, Cornflower, Daisies, Delphinium, Hollyhock, Larkspur, Lobelia, 

Nicotiana, Pansy, Petunia, Phlox (Louisiana), Shrimp Plant, Snapdragon,

TREES AND SHRUBS 

• Finish all transplanting, get everything in the ground for a good spring 

spurt of growth. Transplant balled and burlap, container-grown, bare-root 

deciduous evergreen trees, shrubs, roses and vines while still dormant. 

• Finish pruning roses. Weed and cultivate lightly all beds. Replenish 

mulch as needed. 

• Control early spring insects like thrips on glads and aphids on young 

tender growth. Spray with Malathion, Diazinon or Orthene. 

• At the end of February: peach, apple and pear fruit must be thinned to 

insure quality production at harvest. 

• Give groundcovers a haircut. They will spread faster. 

• Divide daylilies, daisies and other perennials now. 

NATIONAL BIRD FEEDING MONTH 

During National Bird Feeding Month in February, keep the bird feeders 

filled and your binoculars ready. 

Bird watching and feeding have become a popular hobby. By providing 

basic shelter and seed, hobbyists watch from their windows or along 

trails. 

• Be sure to feed regularly and place your feeder away from predators. 

• Set binoculars near the window for best viewing. 

• Obtain a bird book for identifying new species. 

Fill up the bird feeder or add one this month. In 1994, Congressman John 

Porter established February as National Bird Feeding Month due to the 

harsh conditions endured during one of the coldest months of the year.
