Please Check Your Garbage!

Huntwick Residents: 

Recently, during one of the trash collection days, a fire broke out in one of the big trucks that Champions Industries (CI) uses.  It is not known how the fire started, or what fed the fire.  We want to remind residents that flammable liquids or automotive batteries are not authorized.  Below is a segment of the contract we are operating under with CI:

I addition to the above, Champions Industries have asked residents to “ensure there is a clear pathway so that our guys can push their barrels to the trash cans without damaging vehicles?”  Please see that there is room for them to do their job.

Should you need to dispose of any unauthorized material, here is a link to direct you to the Harris County Hazardous Waste Site:

Thank you for keeping Huntwick safe, clean, and beautiful.

Regarding Political Campaign Signs

Greetings!

Election season is upon us again, and it’s bound to be an interesting one.  With that comes this reminder that although your Board of Directors cannot prohibit the display of political campaign signs, we can and do enforce certain deed restrictions in that regard.  Here is a quick rundown of what is allowed and what is not allowed beginning no sooner than Monday, August 5 through no later than Friday, November 15, 2024:

  • One (1) ground-mounted sign per candidate or ballot measure may be displayed for up to 90 days before the election and for up to 10 days following the election.
  •  Signs may not contain roofing material, siding, paving materials, flora, balloons, lights, or any other similar building, landscaping, or nonstandard decorative component.
  • Signs may not be attached in any way to plant material, a traffic control device, a light, a trailer, a vehicle, or any other existing structure or object. 
  • Signs may not include the painting of architectural surfaces.
  • Signs may not threaten public health or safety.
  • Signs may not be larger than four feet by six feet (4’ x 6’).
  • Signs may not violate a law.
  • Signs may not contain language, graphics, or any display that would be offensive to the ordinary person.
  • Signs may not be accompanied by music or other sounds or by streamers or be otherwise distracting to motorists.

For the full deed restrictions regarding signs of other types, flags, and lawn décor, please refer to the 2022 amendment to the Huntwick Deed Restrictions, as voted and approved by the membership (homeowners) of the Huntwick Civic Association.  Note that any violation of the above and listed in the link below can be removed by the Board of Directors.

https://huntwickforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Huntwick-Second-Amendment-to-the-Declaration-Recorded-03-09-2022.pdf

  •  NOTE 1:  There is no mention of political campaign FLAGS, because there is no provision for them in the Texas Election Code, which our deed restrictions mirror.  In addition, the number and types of flags that are allowed is cited in the deed restrictions amendment listed above.  Therefore, political campaign flags are not allowed. 
  • NOTE 2:  As all political campaign signs must be ground-mounted, by default this means that a political campaign sign displayed inside the window of a residence and made visible from the exterior is a violation of the deed restrictions. 

Above all, let’s remember that we are neighbors.  We love our neighborhood and we cooperate to maintain its beauty, harmony, and quality of life.  Our deed restrictions are the most important of our governing documents because YOU and other members of the civic association devised them, proposed them, and voted to implement them.  It takes all of us to enforce them for the preservation of our neighborhood. 

Thank you and happy voting!
