The postcard is from the Texas Department of Public Safety, informing me that a “high-risk sex offender” has moved into my neighborhood. He lives on one of the streets I go walking on. Naturally, I wanted to know what exactly they mean by “high-risk.” Found this on the DPS site:
“Level three (high): indicates that the person poses a serious danger to the community and will continue to engage in criminal sexual conduct.”
So let me ask you, Texas Justice Department. Why in God’s name is a person who poses a serious danger to the community and who you think will continue to engage in criminal sexual conduct being allowed to run free in my nice, quiet neighborhood? When someone is up for parole, isn’t this part of the evaluating criteria? I honestly don’t know and if someone more knowledgeable than me can answer, I would appreciate it.
For now, I guess I’m not going to be walking by myself anymore.
Crazy!!!! I don’t know what you are supposed to do!
I know! I e-mailed the HOA but haven’t heard from them. I’m not surprised since they suck.
Ohmygoodness!! I agree with you, why on earth was this man released into the general population?!?! Do you know exactly which house he lives in or just the street? Maybe you could set up a neighborhood stalking program and scare him out? 😉 Yikes, that is unsettling news. Keep bothering the HOA until they do something. What the heck else are your fees paying for?!
Yes, his exact address was on the postcard. I never heard from the HOA but I’m not giving up yet. Oh, my fees? They pay for some douchebag to send me letters saying my lawn, which is currently as dead as everyone else’s, needs to be mowed and edged by 2/20 or we’ll face LEGAL ACTION. Over GRASS. Are you kidding me?? There aren’t children to protect and sex offenders to prosecute? (ha) I hope the lawyers for the HOA feel as miserable about their job as they make me feel about my lawn.
