Below is a combo version of various safety related articles the WBNA has run in the past along with everyday precautions we can take to help make and keep our homes and ourselves a little safer. Some have already been touched on in previous posts and I apologize for any repetition.
The following suggestions on securing your home come from Neighborhood Watch meetings with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office and local community leaders. We hope they’ll help.

As most of you know, I have adopted all the Mills Pond geese and the last two roundups of the Muscovy ducks. For all of those who have inquired, this is an update on their health in their new home.

We all need repair vendors at one point or another and it’s always helpful to get a referral from someone you know. I have noticed Wells Branch Residents frequently ask (via the handy Google email list) for the name of a reliable plumber, electrician, handyman, painter, or other home repair vendor. However there has been no central place for storing these recommendations and it’s difficult to scroll through past emails to find a name.
Join us for an informational evening with Sgt. Craig Smith of the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
- Learn about current crime trends, what’s going on in Wells Branch, and how to better protect yourself and your property.
- Pick up info on setting up Neighborhood Watch Programs for your area.
- Bring your questions, ideas & suggestions.
- Refreshments served.
