Oak Meadows Neighbors,
I’m pleased to share that the strip of Right-of-Way land along Allen Genoa, behind the homes on Falvey Street, has now been fully cleaned. It took two days to complete, but the results are noticeable and our neighborhood looks better because of it.
Yesterday, Council Member Flickinger joined in and generously gave his time to help with the cleanup. We worked until 11:00 a.m., and today a neighbor of mine also volunteered his time, which made it possible to finish the job. Their support was truly appreciated and made a meaningful difference.
Oak Meadows looks cleaner and more welcoming thanks to this effort. If you have a moment, please consider sending a brief thank-you email to CM Flickinger’s office at dustin.hodges@houstontx.gov for helping arrange and support of this cleanup.
This was my first time participating in the cleanup effort, and I’ll admit the bending and lifting can be challenging for someone my age. It would be wonderful to see more neighbors join in next time.
When more of us participate, the workload becomes lighter, the work goes faster, and the impact is even greater.
Thank you to everyone who helped and supported this effort. Together, we can continue to keep Oak Meadows looking its best.

Holiday Members Dinner

Members of the Oak Meadows Civic Club recently gathered at Maria Rita’s for a sponsored dinner, where we discussed future improvements within our neighborhood. During our meeting, several residents expressed concern about ongoing issues that are negatively impacting Oak Meadows and diminishing the quality of life for those who care about our community.

The concerns raised include the following:

Residents operating large vehicles into the neighborhood and driving over curbs, causing damage to curbs, rights-of-way (ROW), and sidewalks

Properties with front yards completely filled with vehicles
Numerous crime reports, including assaults, RAPES, theft, vandalism, and
destruction of property
Illegal heavy trash dumping on vacant lots and in yards, with debris left for
extended periods of time
Excessive noise from loud car sound systems, often late at night and into
the early morning hours up till 330am.
Throwing trash, including discarded beer cans, bottles, and left over food
packaging left on streets and in yards
Abandoned and stolen vehicles, along with graffiti on neighborhood bldgs

As many of you are aware, Oak Meadows Civic Club partnered this summer with our sponsors—Port of Houston, TPC Group, Invista, Goodyear, and Valero—to move forward with future improvements in Oak Meadows.

Earlier this year, we also met with Council Member Flickinger’s office to discuss replacing the aging water lines that were installed in the 1950s. We must emphasize that homeowners should NOT PLANT TREES within the right-of-way, as tree roots damage underground water lines. Additionally, we have discussed the long-term need to replace asphalt streets with concrete streets.

The Oak Meadows Civic Club would like to hear your thoughts and concerns regarding these matters. Your input is important, and we encourage you to take the time to respond and begin attending our neighborhood meetings. Thank you for your continued involvement in our community.

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Oak Meadows Pride and Community Support

As we approach the new 2026 year, I’d like to take a moment to highlight the strong partnerships that surround our Oak Meadows community. In our immediate area, we’re fortunate to have several major companies—TPC Group, Goodyear, and Invista—and nearby, the Port of Houston and Valero. These organizations have been some of Oak Meadows’ biggest supporters and donors, helping strengthen our neighborhood in many ways. A special thanks goes to Port Houston Group, whose generous contribution helped make the Oak Meadow Park remodel possible. Our park is now a lively gathering place where families, children, and neighbors can enjoy time together throughout the day and evening. We also have bi-monthly meetings with these local plants and refineries to discuss community updates, safety, and outreach efforts. Unfortunately, Oak Meadows residents are often outnumbered by attendees from neighboring communities such as Park Place and Manchester. It’s important that our voices are heard too. These same companies support programs like the children’s food bank at Rucker Elementary and the Back-to-School supply drive, helping fill shelves and provide essential items for local students. Let’s show our appreciation and take a more active role in these meetings and community partnerships. Together, we can make sure Oak Meadows continues to grow stronger, safer, and more connected in the year ahead.

Warmest regards, Oak Meadows Civic Club
