From the volunteers and staff at Friendswood Animal Control: With more thunderstorms predicted for this weekend, it’s important for pet owners to take precautions against losing their precious pets.
Many dogs and cats suffer from “storm phobia,” which can range from pets that whine, pace, or hide, to more extreme behavior that can put pets at risk. Often, otherwise calm and docile animals who have never tried to “escape” their yards will climb fences or knock them down, or dig under fences in an attempt to escape stormy weather.

Golf Carts
Over the past several weeks, the Police Department has had several inquiries about the operation of golf carts on public roadways. The City of Friendswood DOES NOT have an ordinance regulating the use of golf carts; therefore, golf carts are regulated only by State law.
According to Section 502.001 of the Texas Transportation Code, a “golf cart” means a motor vehicle designed by the manufacturer primarily for transporting persons on a golf course. It does not include ATVs or UTVs.
