Susan was the first advertiser to sign on with my multi-media platform after I took over the magazine in November.  One of the top Real Estate Professionals in the Park Cities, she is truly a “class act” and a great person. Most people don’t know that she is also an attorney…you want an agent like Susan on your side.

Republic Services has made the decision to postpone trash collection on Friday, February 04, due to hazardous road conditions. Thursday’s collection is now scheduled for Saturday, February 05, and Friday’s collection will be on Monday, February 07, with the regularly scheduled Monday collection.
Town Office and the HP Library will once again be closed to encourage staff, visitors, and residents to stay safe and off of the hazardous roads. Staff are working remote, and able to conduct regular services. Parks, Public Works, and the HPDPS employees are all actively working through the weather to assist residents.
We encourage you to stay indoors and off the icy roads, as freezing temperatures are predicted through Saturday.
For more information and updates about Town Services impacted by the weather, please visit hptx.org/588/Severe-Weather-Updates.

Given the likelihood of the approaching winter storm, HPISD is expecting to announce its plans later today regarding school for the rest of the week. District staff will evaluate updated information from the National Weather Service before reaching a final decision.

For now, staff and students are encouraged to make plans as if classes will not be held Thursday and Friday. Driving conditions are expected to deteriorate rapidly overnight, making travel conditions hazardous.

Thank you.
