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! |

At this time, the board will not be adding recycling or amending our current trash service contract.
The Lake Houston Community Association Board had several residents express an interest in adding recycling to our current trash service. As adding recycling would be an additional cost to each homeowner’s current billing cycle, the board requested input through a survey. The survey was mailed to homeowner’s and was also sent by email to those registered on Goodwin & Co.’s TownSquare system. The board set 51% or 84 homeowners had to agree to add to the current trash service.
The deadline to receive input was April 9, 2022. Responses were sent to and tallied by Vickie Cain, Goodwin & Company. Below are the results:
Total votes received- 81
Total for Recycling- 32
Total Against- 49
