Street Parking<br />
To help avoid trash not being picked up, please<br />
do not park your vehicles in the street on Trash<br />
days (Tuesday and Friday). When multiple vehicles<br />
are parked in the street, the truck is unable to get<br />
through. Thank you in advance for your assistance<br />
with this matter.<br />
Commercial Vehicle Parking<br />
Although the streets in <strong>Governors</strong> <strong>Place</strong> are public,<br />
we are receiving numerous complaints regarding<br />
parking of personal vehicles and commercial<br />
vehicles in the streets. The parking of COMMERCIAL<br />
VEHICLES within the community is RESTRICTED in<br />
the governing documents and fines will be assessed.<br />
Please try to utilize your driveways as much as<br />
possible when parking your personal vehicles.<br />
Governor’s <strong>Place</strong> | <strong>January</strong> <strong>2022</strong> 3
Recereational Vehicles<br />
Parking recreational vehicles in the community is a violation of<br />
the governing rules and regulations. We understand this is the<br />
time of year vacations and family visits are planned, so if you<br />
will take a moment to call Crest Management at 281-579-0761<br />
to notify us as to when you will have your recreational vehicle(s)<br />
in the driveway, we will give you 1 to 2 days grace period. We<br />
understand people have to live, that is why we want to open the<br />
lines of communication. If we do not hear from you and your<br />
vehicle(s) are noticed on our regular inspection, don’t get upset<br />
when you receive a citation. Again, we will only allow parking of<br />
recreational vehicles for a short period of 1 to 2 days.<br />
Safety and Security Tips<br />
from S.E.A.L. Security Solutions<br />
PREPARATION<br />
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. If you do leave your<br />
purse in the front of the vehicle, don’t leave your phone in your<br />
purse. (Since phones are now so easily traceable, the thieves will<br />
most likely destroy and/or discard it right away. That’s one more<br />
hassle you don’t need.)<br />
• Keep spare keys to your home or vehicle with a trusted neighbor,<br />
relative, at work, etc.<br />
• Take photos or make a photocopy of all your credit/debit cards,<br />
driver’s license, etc. (front and back), that you normally keep in<br />
your purse or wallet and keep those copies someplace safe, such<br />
as at home. That way, if they are lost or stolen, you will more easily<br />
be able to inform the companies and authorities.<br />
PREVENTION<br />
Be aware of all those around you. MAKE EYE CONTACT so potential<br />
thieves know they have been seen.<br />
Governor’s <strong>Place</strong> Hotline<br />
281-749-1300<br />
Parking Laws Will Be Enforced<br />
As many residents have noticed, cars parking in the wrong<br />
direction on the side of the road has become an increasing<br />
problem throughout the community. The officers that patrol the<br />
neighborhood have been giving warnings for this, but will begin<br />
issuing tickets. Please utilize your driveway and garage and<br />
when parking on the street is necessary, please park in the same<br />
direction as traffic.<br />
Additional parking problems have occurred at the tennis and<br />
clubhouse parking lots. As a result, the Board has adopted a<br />
Common Area Parking and Tow Policy. The Policy has been filed<br />
in the official public records with the Harris County Clerk and<br />
is available by visiting www.crest-management.com, clicking<br />
on Communities and selecting <strong>Governors</strong> <strong>Place</strong>. Towing will be<br />
enforced.<br />
Crime Reporting<br />
Together as a community we must always be alert for both<br />
ourselves and our neighbors. Please phone (713-221-6000) the<br />
sheriff for anything suspicious; robbery, suspicious looking<br />
people, speeding, etc.<br />

Deed Restriction Reminder<br />
If you plan on making a change to your home/yard, please fill out<br />
a Request for Home Improvement - Governor’s <strong>Place</strong> form. Please<br />
view the form at our website and download the form to submit to<br />
Crest Management.<br />
• Cars may not be parked on the front lawn of your property.<br />
• Trailers, boats, RVs, recreational vehicles must be stored out of<br />
view of the street.<br />
• Remember that our streets are very narrow and utilize your<br />
driveway to park cars.<br />
• Store trash cans out of street view.<br />
• Now is the time to start cleaning out gutters and roof tops to get<br />
rid of pine needles and leaves.<br />
• We urge parents to advise your children to ride scooters and<br />
electric toys on the sidewalks, NOT in the streets. There have been<br />
too many near misses reported and we don’t want a child to “learn<br />
their lesson” the hard way by being hit by a car.<br />
Street Light Maintenance<br />
To report a streetlight that is not working, call Reliant Energy at<br />
713-207-2222. You need to report both the number on the base of<br />
the pole and the street address.<br />

JUST FOR TODAY<br />
By Dear Abby<br />
This is one of the more popular requested columns<br />
from the famous advice columnist Dear Abby. Read<br />
on: “Today is the day we have an opportunity to<br />
discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones<br />
and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested<br />
list of New Year’s Resolutions, which<br />
were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips,<br />
from the original credo of Al-Anon:<br />
LIFE IS THE MOMENT WE’RE LIVING RIGHT NOW.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday<br />
or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching<br />
goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.<br />
I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would<br />
overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that<br />
depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will<br />
chase them away and fill it with sunshine.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will refrain from improving anybody<br />
but myself.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those<br />
things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will improve my mind. I will read something<br />
that requires effort, thought and concentration.<br />
I will not be a mental loafer.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I<br />
will be kind and courteous to those who cross<br />
my path and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will<br />
improve my appearance, speak softly and not<br />
interrupt when someone else is talking.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will gather the courage to do what is right and<br />
take responsibility for my own actions.<br />
JUST FOR TODAY<br />
I will do something positive to improve my<br />
health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight,<br />
I will eat healthfully - if only just for today.<br />
And not only that, I will get off the couch<br />
and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around<br />
the block.
