HOUSTON – Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin would like to make Kingwood area residents aware Houston Public Works will begin a panel replacement project on Kingwood Drive on Tuesday, May 31. The scope of work includes replacing damaged concrete panels along the westbound lanes of Kingwood Drive from Kings Forest Drive to Woodland Hills Drive. The cost of the project is $76,300 and is funded through Mayor Pro Tem Martin’s Council District Service Funds.
The project is anticipated to be completed by Saturday, June 25, weather permitting. Construction activities are expected to take place Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
As a result of the construction activities, please be aware of flagmen and orange traffic cones that will be put in place on-site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone as the project may require a one-lane closure. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times. Businesses and residents will have access to driveways and sidewalks at all times and may experience an increase in noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area.
For more information, please contact Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin’s office at (832) 393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.

| LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER We’re nearly halfway through the year, which means summer break is upon us. Here at Precinct 3, we have dozens of staff members who are passionate about creating fun, memorable programs for our constituents, especially our children. Whether it’d be outdoor educational activities at Jesse H. Jones Park, or games and activities at one of our community centers, we have something for all children to enjoy! Please keep reading for more information about the offerings and how to sign-up. With the warmer weather also comes hurricane season. While Precinct 3 works year-round to maintain your ditches and local drainage, the impacts of hurricanes are unpredictable. The best defense is preparation, so here is your friendly reminder that there is no better time to prepare than now. Below is a quick look at how Precinct 3 prepares for the season. As always, we’re here and happy to serve you. – Commissioner Tom S.

| LOCAL GOV’T 101 Commissioner Precinct vs. Constable Precinct |
| Did you know the Texas Constitution allows up to eight constables per county to serve the county’s law enforcement needs?  Therefore, in Harris County, there are 8 constable precincts. Although sharing the “precinct” name has caused confusion, the services and responsibilities are different. So here’s what you need to know: A Commissioner Precinct is responsible for maintaining roads, bridges, local drainage, parks, community centers and programming. A Constable Precinct handles law enforcement and emergency needs. Within Commissioner Precinct 3’s boundaries are Constable Precincts 1, 3, 4, and 5. NOTE: Constable Precinct boundaries and contracts were not impacted when Commissioner Precinct boundaries changed in October 2021. |
COMMISSIONER PRECINCT 3 BOUNDARIES AS OF OCTOBER 2021
WORD OF THE MONTH: Incorporated
Incorporated references areas that are classified as cities. If you live in an area that has a city mayor, you live in “incorporated” Harris County. That means your roads, bridges, parks, community centers, drainage, and trash pick-up are primarily managed by the city.
Incorporated areas in Precinct 3 are Piney Point Village, Bunker Hill Village, Spring Valley Village, Jersey Village, Houston, Tomball, Humble, and Baytown.
| STRONGER TOGETHER The Importance of Partnerships |
| Precinct 3 has been hard at work meeting with different organizations to identify community needs. From local chambers of commerce, independent school districts, municipal utility districts, city leaders, and homeowner associations, it’s clear that the success of every community relies on everyone’s ability and willingness to work together. |
 Community Clean-up Since the redistricting, our team partnered with Harris County Constable Precinct 3 Sherman Eagleton’s Office to clean up Highland Shores. This once beautiful subdivision, located along the coast of the San Jacinto River, was devastated by Hurricane Harvey making the area uninhabitable. It became a dumping ground for old furniture, tires, and other trash that would harm the environment if left alone. Together, the crews removed over 200 tires, abandoned watercrafts, and dump trucks worth of trash. A plan was also devised to help combat illegal dumping within the area. |
 Lending a Helping Hand Last weekend, we partnered with the Harris County Public Library, who was distributing laptops and hotspots to residents in need. We opened up the doors to our Riley Chambers Community Center for them to host a successful giveaway event, which resulted in over 250 families benefitting with better connectivity! |
 Serving Those Who’ve Served For Us Precinct 3 is also committed to helping those who’ve served us. Maneuvering around VA benefits can be difficult, which is why we partnered with the Harris County Veteran Services Department to host numerous Veteran Benefits Fairs. During these events, veterans receive VSO consultations for free! Be sure to follow us on social media for information on upcoming Veteran Benefits events! |
| ON THE ROAD With Precinct 3 Road & Bridge |
 Harris County Precinct 3 maintains the highest level of standards in maintaining over 6,600 lane miles of roadway and associated bridges throughout the area.
