OTHER ISSUES AND NEWS
ASSESSMENTS
As you know, our yearly assessments will be due by January 1st and delinquent after February 1st. SCS mailed out your statement in November. If you did not receive it, you can obtain it from the portal website and pay it online. Again, contact Chaparral Management if you have any questions regarding this matter or need to make arrangements for payment.
The Board has again voted to not raise our assessments for this year. We have not had an increase since 2017. Keep in mind that all services keep going up every year, but we have had a great collection percentage from our homeowners that we have sustained our yearly budget.
POOL AND PARKS
The POOL And PARK remains CLOSED until further notice! You can still walk on the sidewalks and the esplanades and use the playground area at your own discretion. CPV will not assume any responsibility. We will continue supplying doggie bags for you while walking your pets. Again we must remind everyone that cameras will pick up any illegal activity at all times in the pool/park area.
POOL TRESPASSING: Jumping over the fence when the pool is closed is trespassing and illegal.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS CALL AND REPORT IT! Program your phone for the non-emergency phone number to the Sheriff’s department (713-221-6000 #6) or crimes in progress dial 911. You do not have to give out your name.
PARK AND PLAYGROUND
Report any loitering or suspicious activity you see. No one should be in the park after hours or in the early hours of the morning.
ILLEGAL PARKING: No parking in the Pool/Park area is allowed after 9 PM. We will begin towing any vehicle seen after hours at the owners’ expense. It does not matter if you are a homeowner or a guest visiting the homeowner. It is illegal and considered trespassing. If you notice a suspicious car or cars parked after hours, contact the non emergency sheriff department so a deputy can be dispatched.
If you suspect illegal activity, trespassing, suspicious activity or illegal parking after hours call the police right away at 713-221-6000 prompt 6. You do not have to give out your name only the pool/parks address, which is 7410 Field Ridge.
DOG LEASH LAW
We are still receiving many complaints that dogs are running loose in the neighborhood. If this is the case, call animal control! If you are walking your dogs, keep them on a leash at ALL times. This is a deed restriction and also against Harris County Leash Law. Be considerate of others. Many children are afraid of animals and also people in the neighborhood do not appreciate dogs running around loose in their yards using it for doggie stations. Use the green belt area.

DEED RESTRICTIONS VIOLATIONS
SCS follows a strict process of notification letters over a period of time and after all attempts fail to have the homeowner correct the violation(s) legal action may follow.
REMEMBER it is AGAINST our deed restrictions to have COMMERCIAL VEHICLES OR VANS, TRAILERS, BOATS or JET SKIS in the street, driveway or parked in the Cul de Sacs. You will be charged a fee if you have been cited before for the same offense or for repeated violations. This offense creates the inability for emergency vehicles’ access to respond to emergency calls at times and therefore considered a serious violation.
DO NOT PAINT HOME, WINDOW OR DOOR TRIMS AND GARAGE DOORS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL. If it does not meet our ACC Specifications you will have to repaint. Avoid unnecessary time and money by getting prior approval to ANY changes being made to the outside of your property or home.
DO NOT DISREGARD DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS! Important that you read and act accordingly. If you think you received this in error, please contact Chaparral Management immediately. Repeated cites or non-compliance letters will automatically incur a fee against your account.
