 Back to School Safety
August is an exciting time of the year, as we get ready for the back-to-school season. As the new school year begins, driving patterns will change from what we experienced during the summer months. Plan your commute with extra time to account for potential delays caused by increased traffic, school buses and pedestrians crossing the street. Please review the graphic below for more important school zone safety tips!
 We encourage drivers to pay close attention to school zone signs indicating reduced speed limits and be prepared to slow down accordingly. Pay attention to school schedules and events that may affect traffic patterns, such as drop-off and pick-up times or after-school activities. Adjust your route if necessary to avoid congestion around school campuses. It is important to eliminate any distractions during these times. Remember, Texas state law prohibits the use of cell phones in a school zone. Keep your attention on the road and together, we can keep kids safer this year.
 House Number Paint Kits
Did you know that free paint kits are available for residents to use in painting your house number on your curb? Adding your house number to your curb allows easy identification by public safety personnel during times of emergency. The kit includes a paint brush, stencil and reflective paint. Once you submit your request form, you will be contacted when a kit is available for pickup.

 It's Time to Lock Up
The 9 PM Routine is a campaign that encourages residents to complete security checks at your homes and vehicles each evening to help prevent crime. Set reminders on your phones or other devices to help remember to complete the tasks nightly.
- Lock your doors.
- Close your garage.
- Secure valuables in your car.
- Turn on exterior lights.
- Activate alarms and security systems.
It's no secret that thieves look for easy targets. By incorporating these simple steps into your nightly routine, you can make a big difference in protecting your home and reduce the risk of preventable crime.
