HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our res- idents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.” While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.
To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact:

OVER 250 KATY ISD ELEMENTARY CLASSES BENEFIT FROM PROMISE TO READ In November, 130 guest readers represented by 50 area businesses and community members across Katy brought the love of reading to 274 Katy ISD classrooms during Promise to Read. This annual initiative is part of a 21-year-old tradition led by Katy ISD’s Partners in Education. Promise to Read affords the community a unique opportunity to reacquaint themselves with the world of children’s literature by spending 30 minutes reading to a classroom of excited elementary students. Each November, the program is offered over the course of two weeks at various elementary campuses.
This year’s Promise to Read was hosted at Alexander, Bryant, Golbow, Holland, Fielder, Katy, Shafer, Sundown, West Memorial and WoodCreek elementary schools. Host campuses rotate each year so that, over a four-year period, every Katy ISD elementary has an opportunity to participate.
“Promise to Read has become a treasured community event thanks to hundreds of devoted community volunteers, many of whom join us every year and our Katy ISD host campuses,” says Janet Theis, Katy ISD’s Executive Director of Community Partnerships. “Promise to Read continues to open the door for our business community to embrace and inspire the love of reading and share that magic with classrooms across the district.”
About Katy ISD Partners in Education - Through programs like Promise to Read, Katy ISD Partners in Education creates school-support opportunities for parents, businesses and the community by offering a wide variety of options amenable to every schedule, talent and expertise. We bring volunteers into Katy ISD classrooms at each campus and all grade levels. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the “Community” tab at www.katyisd.org.

Community Newsletter | February 2019 11 INTERESTED IN HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT? Now that the holidays are over and everyone is settling back down again into their daily lives, why not consider hosting a foreign exchange student for the 2019/2020 school year. STS Foundation is now accepting applications from prospective host families - all it takes to host is to provide a place for the student to sleep, three meals a day and a willingness to share your life with one of our amazing students!
Meet Emma from Denmark - Most of the time I’m a quite happy person. I’m very honest and thoughtful. I usually worry about others before myself. Usually I’m not shy and I don’t have a problem making new acquaintances. I’m helpful and enjoy helping others out. I also love to hang out with my friends after school. I’m not very sporty, but I still like the thought of staying healthy, so I go for a run with a friend sometimes, I like to read books, but I also enjoy writing. Different short stories, mostly just for me. I also enjoy dancing. It’s not something I go to, because of the not so good opportunities in my area. I really like to act as well. We only have one drama school in my area and it isn’t very good, but I have been in a few school plays.
And here’s Diego from Spain - I am a very active and sportive boy. I am also a very sociable person, so I think this experience may be a good one. Meeting new people and having new friends are some of the things I would enjoy about this experience. I’m a person who has lots of interests, for example I am always wanting to learn new things such as the culture of other countries or even at school I’m interested in nearly all the subjects. I think that I am also very mature and self-motivated. My interests are mostly related to sports (swimming, skiing and playing soccer), but I also have other cultural interests. For example, I love geography, knowing every place and learning interesting facts about them. I’m also interested in cooking. I usually cook on weekends with my father and we make really good dishes. Finally, I like to play videogames with my friends or going out with them. We usually go to the movies or to have dinner.
If you are interested in learning more about Emma, Diego or any of our other students, please give me a call - I’d love to talk to you about hosting! I can be reached at 832-455-7881 or at [email protected].
