Parkglen West has a Contract with Harris County Constable Precinct 5 to
provide law enforcement services in our subdivision. The patrol service
is available 24/7. Call 281-463-6666 to report any suspicious activities,
crime, disturbances or other problems. A constable will respond even if
our assigned Constable is not on duty at the time. Please program this
number in your cell phones and other devices.
Online Vacation Watch and Special Watch forms can be found at http://
www.harriscountytx.gov/pct5/
The following was announced on Radio 92 FM news . . .
“Couple closes up shop after city sues for too many garage sales. The City of
Houston filed a lawsuit against not them, but their landlord. The point: to shut down the
garage sales. The city says the garage sales violate a deed restriction in their neighborhood,
and that a neighbor complained about them”.
Parkglen West also has deed restriction No. 14 against having more than 2 garage sales
per year. If you put out any items in your yard for sale, it is counted as a garage sale. This
year has seen a decline in garage sales. Our subdivision looks great again, thanks to the
homeowners who adhere to our deed restriction of only 2 garage sales per year. Thank you
for caring enough to help make our subdivision not look like Harwin St.

Special points of interest:
 Teen Nite Pictures - page 2
 Don’t remember Heavy
Trash Day/Recycling?
Look up page 4
 If you’re new to our neighborhood, now is a good
time to find out the “do’s”
& “don’ts” according to
the deed restrictions on
pages 5 - 6. If you are an
old timer, now is a good
time to re-learn them
If you missed Teen Nite, you missed a lot of fun. The kids were scrambling for as many prizes as they could carry. Diving for
quarters was the most popular game - no, actually counting your loot was the most fun for the kids. There was money to be had!
Wet t-shirt contest was fun to watch. Try to see if you can take off a wet t-shirt that was 3 sizes too big in a hurry. A big thanks to
the Board of Directors who helped pull this together . . . Marvin, Fran, Beth, Vita, Gloria, Cynthia, Zoe and a special thanks to
Don and Marie for their hard work in making it all come together. Great job you two! Our favorite constable, Officer Ross Rogers, was also there to make sure the board was behaving (just kidding). No, the kids behaved beautifully - we’re proud of our
PGW kids. Don’t forget to go to flickr.com to check out PGW events’ pictures. Log in as [email protected], password is

Heavy trash is collected the first Monday of each month. You
may place your tree waste/junk waste at the curb after 6:00 p.m.
the Friday before your Tree Waste / Junk Waste collection day.
If you put out the wrong type of trash, please remove it immediately and put it in a place that is out of the public view, like your
back yard (not the side of your house). Please do not leave it at
the curb for a whole month. Remember, fines are now in affect.
Do your part in keeping our neighborhood from looking trashy.
TIRES
Residents may place up to 4 tires at the curb for collection during Junk Waste months. Collection crews will separate the tires
from the Junk Waste. It may take up to a week before crews return and retrieve the tires. Separating the tires from the rest of
the Junk Waste allows the SWMD to properly process tires
Architecture Control Committee
by Marvin Cooper
Before you make any changes to your house that are visible from
the outside, remember, deed restrictions allow most changes, but
not all. Earth- tone colors for the outside of your home and shingles are allowed - but not reds, greens, blues, yellows, etc. Landscaping and what kind of shed is built in the backyard has to be
approved before you build. Call Genesis Community Management
at (713) 953-0808 and ask for an A.C.C. Submittal Form. Show
what changes you want to make and call Marvin Cooper at (281)
495-4621 or mail it back to Genesis. We want our neighborhood to
keep looking nice and paying careful attention to the deed restrictions that are published in the newsletter will help keep you
from being in violation.
Remember your ODDS and EVENS
Residents may dispose of their Tree Waste and Junk Waste at
their curbside. Tree Waste is collected during ODD numbered
months and Junk Waste is collected during EVEN numbered
months. This method of collecting large waste comes with the
benefits of diverting materials that can be recycled from landfills, saving landfill space and valuable tax dollars.

Never Argue With Children!
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The
teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to
swallow a human because even though it was a very large
mammal, its throat was very small. The little girl stated that
Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was
physically impossible. The little girl said, “When I get to
heaven, I will ask Jonah.” The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?” The little girl replied, “Then you ask
him”.
Summer is here and children will be out and about. Please
drive carefully. Remember, school doesn't start until the end
of August. We want to thank Officer Chau, our constable,
for a job well done. Please remember you can call the constable 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If our constable is not on
duty, a constable will be dispatched. Response time is quicker than HPD. Keep an eye on your neighbors and report anything suspicious. Don't hesitate to call on suspicious vehicles
or people. If in doubt, call 281-463-6666. If you will be on
vacation or away for a few days, call dispatch and tell them
you want a “vacation watch." Our constable will be notified
and he will watch your home. Have a safe and happy summer!
