A Few Neighborhood Crime Prevention Tips

  • If you park your car outside your garage, LOCK your vehicle. A large percentage of automobile break-ins involve unsecured vehicles.
  • Never leave valuables inside of the vehicle where they can be seen in plain view.
  • Do Not Keep Garage Door Openers in a Car Parked Outside

If you park your car outside with a garage opener in the car, then you might want to consider placing your garage door opener inside. A thief can break into your car, and then use the garage door opener within your car, to easily gain access to your garage and possibly your house as well.  If you need to park outside but want to use the garage opener as a way to enter the house when you get home, then develop a habit of bringing the garage door opener inside with you.  Over time, it will become as habitual as always grabbing your keys and your purse/wallet, and this will go a long way in preventing serious break-ins. Also it is recommended that you lock the door between your home and garage each evening or when you are gone.

  • Illuminate your yards and entranceways.  
  • Never open your home to anyone that you do not know.
  • Keep your doors locked whether you are at home or away.
  • Keep your garage door closed, even when at home or in the backyard.
  • Be observant of repair men, construction workers, or service workers. If their behavior or location seems out of the ordinary, notify the police on their main number.  This is NOT a 911 call.
  • Make use of timers. Just because you aren’t home doesn’t mean that you should keep all the lights off at all times. Set a timer and have the lights go on and off at specific times so that it looks like your home.
  • Get to know your immediate neighbors. Be familiar with what type of vehicles they drive, whether they have out of town guests, when will they be out of town, or if they will be having hired services performed at their homes. This can be one of the best ways to deter crime.

City of Houston Files Cease and Desist Against Perry Homes,  Double Oak, and Figure Four Partners

Houston, TX – Houston City Council Member Dave Martin would like for Kingwood residents to be aware the City of Houston has filed cease and desist orders against Perry Homes, Double Oak Construction, Inc., and Figure Four Partners, Ltd. for the discharge of stormwater from the Woodridge Village development site. These cease and desist orders were issued in response to the discharge of sand, silt, sediment, and debris from the development site into the Municipal Storm Sewer System (MS4) on September 19, 2019. 

This discharge is in direct violation of City of Houston Ordinance: ARTICLE XII. – STORM WATER DISCHARGES, DIVISION 5 – ILLICIT DISCHARGES AND CONNECTIONS, Section 47-741 – Discharge to MS4 prohibited (a)   A person commits an offense if the person threatens to introduce, introduces or causes to be introduced into the MS4 any discharge that is not composed entirely of storm water.

This discharge has caused severe damage to the City of Houston’s MS4 and to the property of the citizens of the City of Houston. As a result of this discharge the City of Houston started a 12 week extensive investigation of the stormwater system located within Elm Grove and other effected communities within the far northeast section of Kingwood. This investigation is currently 10 percent complete as it started last week. 

Another update on this investigation will be provided during the Council Member Martin’s Kingwood Town Hall Meeting to be held on Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. located at the Kingwood Community Center (4102 Rustic Woods, Kingwood, TX 77345) Council Member Martin has been working diligently to see this type of action over the last week and is actively pursuing additional measures to be taken to further protect the residents of Kingwood.

For more information, please contact Council Member Martin’s office at (832) 393-3008 or via email at districte@houstontx.gov.
