The Approved LHCA Amendments to Protective Covenants & By-Laws Have Been Recorded & Posted on Our Sites

On September 29, 2023, the Board announced the passage of the proposed Protective Covenant Ballot. At that time, we had received the required quorum of votes for passage. Even though we had achieved the 67% positive response, State Law required the Association to send a notice to owners that did not respond, with a ballot, to allow 20 additional days to cast their vote. That date was October 10. After that date, the Board executed the documents and provided them to our management company for filing.

The following documents have been recorded in the Official Public Records of Real Property of Harris County, Texas: First Amendment to the By-Laws of Lake Houston Community Association, recorded 01/11/2024 and First Amendment to the Kings Crossing, Section Eighteen Protective Covenants, recorded 02/02/2024.

The documents are posted on our management company’s website, townsq.io: DOCUMENTS/ GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

WEATHER EVENT RESPONSE

We’re proud of our hardworking crews who braved the cold to keep our
streets safe during January’s freeze event. Whether pretreating roads
or working overnight during the worst of conditions, our crews went
above and beyond the call of duty! Precinct 3 deployed five brine
trucks, which applied 12,000+ gallons of brine to treat 200+ bridges
at least three times!

Thank you to our crews, staff, and all first responders for their tireless
efforts in proactive preparation and emergency response! Your work in
keeping the community safe matters, and we appreciate you.

ANNOUNCING A NEW PARK! 
Precinct 3 is now home to 70 parks
The new Precinct 3 Harris County Park is nestled between the Cypress
and Tomball areas, and located just south of the Kickerillo-Mischer
Preserve at 20022 TX-249 in Houston.

Showcasing a boardwalk along Cypress Creek, playground, picnic area,
and a pedestrian trail that leads to the improved 100 Acre Wood
Preserve, this park is free and open to the public with plentiful parking
space. The park’s paved trail runs under TX-249, connects to the
YMCA, and ultimately leads to the 100 Acre Wood Preserve, where
Precinct 3 recently constructed a parking lot and shade canopy. 

Both projects are a part of Precinct 3’s Parks and Trails Master Plan.
Come out and visit our new park!

The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) is monitoring a series of fronts that will bring heavy rain to our area on beginning Sunday night and continuing through Wednesday.


The heaviest rain is expected to occur on Monday. Residents can expect 2-3 inches of rain with some areas receiving up to 5 inches. Our biggest threat will be potential high rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour that could lead to street flooding and rises in our network of creeks and bayous.


Tuesday rainfall is expected in the 1–3-inch range with Wednesday totals of 1-2 inches.


Hazards like high winds, hail, and tornadoes are not expected.


The City of Houston has announced that they will lower water level in Lake Houston by one foot in preparation for this rain event.


Residents should be weather aware and have multiple ways of receiving updated forecasts and warnings from the National Weather Service through the entire Monday through Wednesday period.
Motorists should expect rain during both morning and afternoon drive times. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Remember: Turn Around Don’t Drown! Check the Houston TranStar live traffic map for information on road conditions.


You can see up-to-the-minute information on waterway conditions using the Harris County Flood Control District Flood Warning System.

ReadyHarris insta a estar al tanto del clima esta semana

 La Oficina de Seguridad Nacional y Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Harris (HCOHSEM) está monitoreando una serie de frentes que traerán fuertes lluvias a nuestra área a partir del domingo por la noche y continuando hasta el miércoles.


Se espera que las lluvias más intensas ocurran el lunes. Los residentes pueden esperar entre 2 y 3 pulgadas de lluvia, con algunas áreas recibiendo hasta 5 pulgadas. Nuestra mayor preocupación será la posibilidad de tasas de lluvia elevadas de 1 a 2 pulgadas por hora, lo que podría provocar inundaciones en las calles y aumentos en nuestra red de arroyos y ríos.


Se espera que las lluvias del martes estén en el rango de 1 a 3 pulgadas, con totales de 1 a 2 pulgadas el miércoles. No se esperan peligros como vientos fuertes, granizo o tornados.


La Ciudad de Houston ha anunciado que reducirá el nivel del agua en el lago Houston en un pie en preparación para este evento de lluvia.


Los residentes deben estar atentos al clima y tener varias formas de recibir pronósticos actualizados y advertencias del Servicio Nacional de Meteorología durante todo el período desde el lunes hasta el miércoles.


Los conductores deben esperar lluvias tanto en las horas de la mañana como en las de la tarde. No conduzca su vehículo por carreteras inundadas. Recuerde: ¡Dé la vuelta, no se ahogue! Consulte el mapa de tráfico en vivo de Houston TranStar para obtener información sobre las condiciones de la carretera.

Lake Houston Lowering in Advance of Rain
HOUSTON – Council Member Fred Flickinger would like to make Lake Houston residents aware, Houston Public Works is monitoring weather forecasts for the Lake Houston region, with predicted rainfall of 3-5+ inches in our watershed beginning Monday through the week. The forecast of 3+ inches of rain in our watershed triggers the opening of Lake Houston Spillway Gates. Property owners along the lake should take measures to secure property along the shoreline. Additionally, residents are asked to secure patio and outdoor furniture. Lake Houston will begin lowering Sunday afternoon with lowering being completed before rain starts on Monday. The Lake Houston Spillway Gates will remain open to manage storm inflows until inclement weather has moved from our region. Lake Houston is currently at 42.22 feet (normal pool is 42.4 feet) and Lake Conroe is at 200.64 feet (normal pool is 201 feet). Please remember it is important to utilize verified news sources for inclement weather information as well as tune in to local news stations for changing forecasts. To monitor current water levels at Lake Houston, visit www.coastalwaterauthority.org. To see current levels for Lake Conroe you can visit www.sjra.net. Please also keep in mind with rain events flash flooding is always possible, stay weather aware and avoid roadways if possible during rain events. It only take 6 inches of water to move a car. Always turn around, don’t drown.

Freezing Temperatures Coming to our Area

During our last hard freeze in 2021 several homes in The Enclave experienced frozen water pipes and some pipes burst causing water damage. So, from lessons learned, be sure you have the pipes covered or insulated in the attic and eave where the water main pipe enters your home. And some of you may choose to turn off the water at the water meter and drain your house. Don’t forget to draw water for your use during the freeze period, including water to flush your toilet.

For additional information about the freezing temperatures, below are links to a few suggestions and information from local television news and public officials.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

“Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don’t think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You’ll look ten years younger. Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I love you’. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.” by Ann Landers
