Today's riddle: Why did the chicken go to the gym? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Houston, The Woodlands reach $50 million deal to end annexation possibility (couriertexas.com) — Houston and The Woodlands have struck a $50 million deal that permanently ends the possibility of Houston annexing the community, while letting The Woodlands keep more of its sales tax revenue after 2030. The Woodlands Township board has already approved the agreement, which also clarifies long‑term financial ties first set in 2007 and could leave local budgets with millions more each year.
2. Family demands accountability after video shows deputy constable inside their garage uninvited (newsbeyonddetroit.net) — A The Woodlands couple is demanding accountability after video showed a Montgomery County Precinct 3 sergeant standing inside their open garage while serving eviction-related papers, prompting an internal affairs investigation. They've filed complaints with multiple agencies, arguing their rights were violated, while a civil rights attorney questions the legality of entering the attached garage without a warrant or emergency.
3. The Woodlands Township answers Mounted Patrol Community Questions (hellowoodlands.com) — The Woodlands Township is assuring residents that mounted patrols are not being eliminated, but may shift from a private Alpha & Omega security model to a Montgomery County Sheriff's Office unit with full law‑enforcement powers. Leaders say the change could improve safety, reduce liability on private property, and keep the popular horse patrols visible at Town Center and major community events.
4. Luau at The Woodlands Resort (papercitymag.com) — Residents can enjoy a free Hawaiian-style luau evening at The Woodlands Resort, featuring live Polynesian performances, hula and limbo, and lei-making on the Forest Deck. Admission is complimentary, with optional Hawaiian cocktails, buffet, and a paid VIP table at Harrison's for those who want to turn it into a fuller night out.
5. The Woodlands Chamber announces Speakers for the 2026 Woodlands Area Business Summit (hellowoodlands.com) — The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce is lining up local experts and keynote speaker Chris Westfall for the 2026 Woodlands Area Business Summit, tailored to small and mid‑size businesses. Although hosted at the Hyatt Regency Conroe, the full‑day event is built around The Woodlands‑area business community, with tracks on AI, operations, leadership, legal issues, and sales and marketing.
