With more people working from home due to Covid, Graham Management is getting more complaints about residents blocking the sidewalk with trash bags or lawn trimmings plus vehicles blocking the driveway while our homeowners are out walking the neighborhood. Please be courteous and put your trash bags & lawn clips on the edge of you driveway and if necessary park your car in the street.
(NM) DOG LEASH LAW
There have been many complaints about 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 lawns. Please pick up after your dogs, no one wants to step in your dog’s poop. Dog Waste Stations have been instated in both parks for your use.
