CREST MANAGEMENT WELCOMES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO WOODCREEK RESERVE
HOME AT KATY'S ULTIMATE ADDRESS
Pool and Tennis Courts

Tennis Court Hours
Car Stickers
The car stickers are to be placed on the upper corner of the windshield on the passenger side of your automobile. Please make note on your “gate access request form” how many stickers are needed for your family. These stickers are numbered for accountability and are tied to your address. You must take the stickers off and mail them back to Crest Management when you move from the community or sell the vehicle. The stickers will not be reused, but this will keep unauthorized persons from visiting the community without being noticed.
Keeping Your Family Informed
Our office would like to gather 100% of all homeowners email addresses for easy notification of any community updates, alerts and meeting notices. In the body of your email provide your name, mailing address and phone number. Thank you for helping us keep you informed and up to date. Please email information to info@crest-management.com.
Newsletter
The WoodCreek Reserve official Newsletter is published by Krenek Printing, 281-463-8649 or www.krenekprinting.com; this is a wonderful source of information regarding your community at no cost to you. Please contact them (news@krenekprinting.com) with your mailing information to receive this wealth of information.
Friendly Katy Neighbors
Did you know that you can participate in Crime Watch as easily as being a “nosy neighbor?” If you have not already done so, talk to the neighbors next to you, across the street and down the street. Introduce yourself; get to know them and who lives in the household. Encourage them to do the same and pledge to watch out for each other.
Don’t hesitate to report suspicious persons to the City of Katy Police or Fort Bend Co. Sheriffs and don’t assume someone else will do it. Reports from citizens are the best sources of information for law enforcement. They can best help us if we help them.
Emergencies or crimes in progress should be immediately reported to “911.” Non-emergency calls should go to City of Katy Police at 281-391-4848 or Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. 281-341-4665.
Community Volunteers
Our office would like to extend a warm thank you to the volunteers who currently serve and generously give their time to WoodCreek Reserve community. These volunteers are very helpful to the development of the community, as they represent their sections at WoodCreek Reserve CAI Board meetings.

SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP
Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and the community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, come prepared with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. If your pet poops during your walk, please scoop and trash. It may not be the most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show that you respect your fellow neighbors’ and our beautiful community.
REMINDERS
Reminder that trashcans are to be stored out of public view, except for on designated trash days. This helps keep the community looking good.
KATY ANIMAL CONTROL
Katy Animal Control works in conjunction with the Katy Police Department enforcing City and State laws. Lost pets are kept in a 3,000 sq. ft. temperature controlled, state-inspected building.
The Katy Animal Shelter does not adopt out animals, therefore, it is extremely important that pets are licensed and vaccinated at six months of age. The department strives to make the licensing process as convenient as possible and can be scheduled by calling the shelter at 281-391-4740 or email dbrown@katypd.com. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM and can be reached at 281-391-4740 (all calls are logged and returned, so please leave a message). For after hour emergencies, please call the Katy Police Department at 281-391-4848. It is unlawful to dump animals at the shelter.
Dogs and/or cats are not allowed to run at large on private property and must wear collar and tags at all times.
Any person or entity raising, keeping and maintaining livestock and/or fowl on tracts of land larger than one acre shall obtain an annual permit from the city, except that no permit is required for single tracts of land larger than five acres.
Live animal traps are available with a deposit and signed contract.
PLEASE NOTE: This information applies only to the incorporated city limits of Katy. For lost pets in the areas of Fry Road, Mason Road, Grand Parkway, please contact the county animal shelters (Harris County 281-999-3191; Fort Bend County 281-342-1512; Waller County 979-826-8033) or contact Special Pals at 281-579-7387 (www.specialpalsshelter.org) or Citizens for Animal Protection at 281-497-0591 (www.cap4pets.org).
