Signs Signs Signs.
If you have been paying attention you will know that Community Activists of The Woodlands (CATW) is doing everything possible to keep The Woodlands beautiful.
If you have been paying attention you will know that Community Activists of The Woodlands (CATW) is doing everything possible to keep The Woodlands beautiful.
The Woodlands Community Service Corporation (WCSC) General Manager, Don Norrell, said on March 22nd, 2007 "The Woodlands is a beautiful community that should be kept that way through reasonable rules and common sense enforcement"
Unfortunately Mr Norrell's definition of Common Sense enforcement differs from the law.
CATW submitted THIS document to The Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constables Office today.
State Senator, Robert L Nichols, agrees with CATW that signs in the right of ways are illegal in THIS document.
Montgomery County Attorney, David Walker, stated the following regarding signs in the right of ways: "They are illegal. Placement of signs in public right-of-way is illegal."
When CATW asked Montgomery County District Attorney, Mike McDougal, his opinion on the signs in the right of ways and if we should contact the constables he had this advice: "That would be my advice, although I don't know if the constable can take the signs. He can issue tickets to them for Class C misdemeanors."
So now it's up to Mr Norrell to do what's right within the law.
-or-
for Chief Deputy Jeff McLaughlin to enforce the law.

Another illegal practice of the service corp/developer shut down.
ON September 1, 2007 a new law went into effect further bolstering the cleanup of illegally placed signs and advertisements in "Public Right-of-Waty"
It is clear with the wording, intent and "specious" design, placement and utilization of the banners in and on land that belongs to the "State OF Texas" (Public ROWs) that these examples constitute a clear and obvious violation of the ACT.
According to the ACT, each sign/banner/advertisement constitutes a separate violation.
It is strange to me that an organization that purportedly is in support of higher standards, quality of life and astetic beauty, finds that they (it) is above the law and is above conforming with those ideals, and principles of which it "preaches."
Why o why?
