COMMUNITY NEWS

Please be aware that a small alligator has recently been seen in the bayou near Crescent Green. As a reminder, we encourage everyone to keep pets on a leash when walking along the bayou.

Because alligators do inhabit our bayous and nearby parks and reservoir, there is always a possibility that one could wander into a yard or driveway. While this is uncommon and we have not received any such reports at this time, we want to make sure residents know what to do if it occurs.

In most cases, alligators will move along on their own. However, if you encounter an aggressive or nuisance gator that is blocking access to your home or vehicle, please contact the Texas Parks & Wildlife Alligator Hotline at 512-389-4848. Their team can assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

Dear Green Trails II Residents,

With schools now out for the summer, our community amenities are getting more use than ever. This is a wonderful time to get outside and enjoy our pools, tennis and pickleball courts, parks, playgrounds and swing sets, and the landscaping along our many trails and streets. 

As we see increased activity, your HOA Board wants to share a quick reminder about how your homeowner dues are invested. Keeping these spaces pristine is a top priority, and we work hard to keep our HOA dues as low as possible. However, higher foot traffic means we must all be mindful that our actions—or inactions—directly impact our community budget.

Recently, we have experienced a rise in neglect and intentional damage, forcing us to redirect funds toward avoidable repairs. Over the past few months, the HOA has had to spend budget dollars to repair or replace the following items:

• Tetherballs: Ruined by dogs because owners are not restraining pets from biting the equipment.
• Tennis Court Gates: Damaged by individuals attempting to pry them open, and residents forgetting to ensure the gates are closed to prevent unauthorized access or vandalism.  
• Portable Pickleball Nets and Frames: Vandalized or broken because they are not put away carefully after use, and unsupervised kids are using them as skateboards.
• Landscaping: Living plants dug up and stolen from our common areas.

Every dollar spent fixing preventable damage is a dollar taken away from community improvements or activities. We kindly ask all residents, children, and guests to treat our parks, playgrounds, and courts with TLC this summer.

If you witness anyone damaging community property, please say something and report it to the Board immediately. Thank you for helping us keep our neighborhood beautiful, safe, and cost-effective for everyone.  

To contact CREST Management, our community management firm, to report something you see, please contact Heather at 281-945-4630, or via email: heathere@crest-management.com.

Thanks for your attention and continued support of our community!  

Sincerely,

The Green Trails II HOA Board of Directors
