@ginx Yes, we have police protection thru Harris County thru our County taxes... that is usually the Sheriff. Before Ron Hickman was promoted to the HC Sheriff we had two SO units between I45 and Huffman. Since Hickman was appointed there is a much larger presence of SO units in Atascocita... Thanks Sheriff Hickman!
As far as security contracts... there are three out here... Walden / ACIA, Eagle Springs (paid for by their MUD's) and the ATASCOCITA Contract... Atasca Woods, South, Oaks, KW Glen and Trails. The contract is reasonable because as a homeowner I want better security than what the county can afford to give me. I think I pay about $75.00 per year for that extra protection in the contract and I would gladly pay more $$$ for more Constables! I see them in my neighborhood all the time!!! They are not perfect, but whenever I have called, I usually see one within a few minutes! Take that contract away and that response time goes to 10, 15, 20 minutes or more! I know, I have seen it in non-contract communities!
