@Sammee : Yes we should have Precinct 2 because we are now in Precinct 2 . A deal was cut because Pct 4 has a bunch of contracts with HOA's out here is what I was told . We all pay taxes for the Sheriffs. They refuse to come because we have a private contract with Precinct 4 . Some Idiot board in ACIA thought it a good idea to have private security . Back in the 1980's or 90's I knew someone on the board that has told me the officers we had DID NOT LEAVE OUR SUB unless another officer needed back up & our officers were the closest to them . Now you never can find them unless you see them parked at one of our parks or a gas station or restaurant or responding to wrecks on 1960 & we have MANY ! . Are most of the time they park at The Overlook which is a private business & not a part of ACIA . Worse yet they are at our monthly meetings to give their report & then they sit right there through our entire meeting instead of patrolling our streets . In my opinion our board uses them to throw people out of the meetings . One night they threw everyone in the room out . They almost never answer questions & if you dare say just answer the question would you please answer the question you will get removed by the officer . I asked the officer on what grounds I was being removed & he would not answer me . How could he because everyone was thrown out . Is he going to say because your HOA president wants you all out ? Hey who writes his name on the check to pay the Constables ?

@Sammee : Yes And ACIA & WALDEN share a contract . So because we share our officers that we share should not be going to the North, Oaks , South are anywhere else out here unless there is an emergency .
What is just unbelieveable if there is a 2 or 3 car wreck there must be 10 cop cars show up & not leave . Just all had to be in on the action . Standing around talking .I'm sure others have seen this .

@bbk : The Commissioner's have 4 precincts, the Constables have 8 Precincts. Laws require the Commissioner's precincts to be within certain percentages and as PCT 4 exploded, some (but not all) parts were shifted to PCT2. It had nothing to due with PCT 4 having HOA patrol contracts.
 
Unfortunately, unless your documents require a public forum, its not required under Texas Law. While most of the meeting has to be open to the public, unless you have it in your governing documents, members are not entitled to speak at the meeting.
 
The Legislature has tried to change that, a bill last session would have required association boards to allow members 30 minutes EACH to address the Board. I think 30 minutes is extremely excessive and apparently the rest of the legislature did too - that bill died.

@bbk : PCT 4 offers 3 contracts a 70/30, 80/20, 100/0. Most Associations/MUDs are going with the 70/30 split. This means 30% of the time they can and will spend outside of the contract boundary. If you pay 24 hours of coverage then 7:12 of patrolling will be done outside of the contract boundaries.
 
If you have a PCT 4 contract, not only will you not see HCSO, good luck getting Humble ISD Police to patrol an elementary school zone!

@TXFlyer : Why would any HOA have a public meeting that homeowners can attend & not provide time for homeowners to speak . This is NOT the boards money being spent & wasted in my opinion it is the homeowners money . And I feel we have every right to go to the meetings & ask questions or make comments . There are lots of laws in place like 209 law as 1 example which is for protecting THE HOMEOWNERS NOT THE BOARD ! Many many years that at any time during the meetings homeowners were able to speak to the Board during the meetings . They were able to say excuse me could you clarify this or that for me .

@bbk : That would be a better question for your Board. All I'm saying is unless your documents specifically allow homeowner input, the homeowner only has the right to attend and monitor what is happening.

At TX Flyer I understand the 70/30 contract have always understood it . But some of us don't like it & that quite frankly is our right & our opinion . One homeowner described it as being like a run away train & I agree . If we must pay for private security ( AND I WOULD NOT ) then I like it like it was when it initially started . And that was the officers stayed inside ACIA unless an officer near our area needed backup . Then & only then they left ACIA . Today everybody is running around carrying a gun . I know men & women that carry all the time . The American people ARE READY !!!!
