PETS REMINDERS<br />
<strong>Westheimer</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Community has had many loose<br />
dogs & cats lately. Please do your part to keep your<br />
animals safe and contained on your property.<br />
Please Control Your Pets!<br />
It is a deed restriction violation if your pets are<br />
not confined to a fenced backyard or within your<br />
home. They must not be allowed to bark all night<br />
or cause a nuisance to your neighbors. They<br />
must also be on a leash at all times when not in a<br />
contained environment. It is also the pet owner’s<br />
responsibility to keep ALL areas of the community<br />
FREE from pet debris when walking your pets.<br />
Please remember that cats must also be confined.<br />
If you happen to come across vicious dogs or ANY<br />
loose dogs of this nature, please contact Fort Bend<br />
County Animal Control at 281-342-1512. If you are<br />
familiar with the property address the pets belong<br />
to, please feel free to submit that information to<br />
Principal Management Group - Marci Birthisel at<br />
wln@entouch.net - to pursue the deed restriction<br />
violation. Notification and ample time must be<br />
given to the owner to correct the violation prior to<br />
any further pursuit by the Association.<br />
Remember that all pets should always wear a<br />
collar with ID tag! Pet owners should also consider<br />

LET US KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LITTER FREE!<br />
Take responsibility for yourself and be a good neighbor! Keep our<br />
streets and neighborhood trash and litter free! Make it a habit, be<br />
a good neighbor and do your part!<br />
If each person did their own part (around the outside of their<br />
home including their little stretch of street in front of their house),<br />
what a better place this would be to live!<br />
A clean environment/neighborhood makes people feel good<br />
about themselves. They will keep it clean. Some need to be<br />
reminded. Others need to be continually reminded. It takes time<br />
to change habits. Keeping your neighborhood clean is a habit that<br />
takes conscious effort.<br />
GOLF BALLS<br />
Hitting golf balls is meant for the golf course only. It can cause<br />
damage not only to personal property but to people as well.<br />
Please respect your neighbors and refrain from hitting golf balls<br />
inside the community.<br />
NO TRESPASSING ON RESIDENTS PRIVATE PROPERTY<br />
There have been complaints about children crossing through<br />
residents’ private yards to get to the facilities. Please let children<br />
know that they cannot cross private property. If this should occur<br />
more than once, we ask homeowners’ to contact the proper<br />
authorities.<br />
BASKETBALL GOALS<br />
Basketball is a fun sport that many like to play. As a reminder,<br />
please make sure that all basketball goals are kept in an upright<br />
position in your driveway. Basketball goals should not be left in<br />
the street at anytime or left on the side of your home when not<br />
in use. Leaving Basketball goals in the street can be a nuisance<br />
to drivers in the community and a hazard should there be a need<br />
for an emergency vehicle to gain access to your street. Please<br />
note this is also a violation of deed restrictions and if you receive<br />
violation letters regarding this matter you could be sent to the<br />
attorney and be liable for those charges.<br />
UNWANTED SOLICITORS<br />
NO SOLICITING signs are posted throughout the entrances of<br />
the community. If this continues to be a growing issue at your<br />
residence and would like to place a NO SOLICITING sign in your<br />
yard, you may certainly do so. Please be sure that the sign is<br />
placed by your front door and place only (1) sign at your home.<br />
If you feel in danger and think the solicitor will be in the community<br />
long enough to call the authorities, we suggest you call the local<br />
Police Department.<br />
KEEP OUR LAKES CLEAN<br />
Please help us keep our community beautiful by NOT THROWING<br />
trash and debris around or into the lakes. In addition, there is NO<br />
SWIMMING, BOATING OR FISHING in the LAKES.<br />
