As Towne Lake residents get ready to hit the road this Thanksgiving, Harris County Constable Precinct 5 is reminding neighbors about its free Vacation Watch program—designed to offer added peace of mind for traveling families.

What Is Vacation Watch?

While you’re out of town, Precinct 5 deputies will routinely check your property as part of their neighborhood patrols. These checks focus on ensuring there’s no visible damage or signs of break-ins. Deputies are trained to recognize anything suspicious and will notify you immediately if there's a concern.

The form is straightforward and only takes a couple minutes to complete. You’ll need to enter your address, emergency contact information, and the dates you’ll be gone.

Benefits for Towne Lake

This service helps families in Towne Lake enjoy their holidays without added worry. Whether you're traveling for a few days or the entire week, having an extra set of eyes on your home from local law enforcement is always a smart move.

Precinct 5 recommends pairing Vacation Watch with smart home tools such as light timers and security cameras—but notes that having deputies routinely patrol your home adds an extra layer of deterrence against potential crime.
