These paid deputy constable patrols are in addition to non-paid patrols by other law enforcement agencies such as APD and Travis County Sheriff’s Department. The purpose of any citations is for traffic calming and safer, more cognizant drivers not monetary punishment. The CC HOA board is continuing...

By Brett Funderburg With the 3rd quarter of 2020 behind us, I wanted to give an update on several items that may be of interest to Members.

It has, unfortunately, recently come to the board’s attention that...

Many people in our neighborhood have pets that they love to take on walks in our community. This is good for both the pet and for the owner.  While getting fresh air outside, dogs love to defecate and urinate while on their walks. Owners should pick up after their animals to keep the surrounding areas clean and sanitary. Feces on the sidewalk or adjoining grass is unsightly and unpleasant to neighbors that walk or live nearby. Owners should carry “poop...
