Barring any weather disruptions or unforeseen circumstances, we anticipate that work will be completed by Friday, Sept. 20. Homeowners Associations registration Homeowners Associations are not required to register with the city of Colleyville, but having up-to-date information makes notifying HOAs about information relevant to a specific HOA, or to HOAs in general, more timely. To update information for your HOA, complete the HOA online registration form or contact Amy Shelley at 817.503.1133 or by email to ashelley@colleyville.com.

No Refusal Weekend results During the Labor Day weekend, the Colleyville Police Department joined with law enforcement agencies across the county in a "No Refusal Weekend." The program lets police obtain search warrants for blood samples from suspected drunk or impaired drivers who refuse breath tests. This enables police to legally acquire a proper blood sample from drivers who refuse to give a breath sample, increasing the chances for a conviction. In Colleyville, the program netted two drivers suspected of driving under the influence. According to the Century Council, a distillers group committed to combating drunk driving, there were more than 1,200 alcohol-impaired fatalities in Texas in 2011. More than 40% of the driving fatalities in Texas that year involved drivers who were impaired by alcohol.

Do not let my tiny Chihuahua body fool you; I have the heart of a much larger dog and I am the master of love. Take me home with you, and I will give you kisses all day, every day. I am also a fantastic listener and enjoy walking with people when I'm on my leash - we should go on your favorite walk around the neighborhood or prance within the park, yes? It's hard to believe I have not been snatched up by my owner yet, as the ladies at the shelter tell me I am so adorable. But their loss is your gain because I am now available for adoption! Did I mention I am current on my shots and heartworm negative? How can you resist? Cha Cha here. 5 I'm feeling a bit lonely after my owner of more than a year was forced by her boyfriend to give me, but I hope someone out there is looking for some fine feline conversation. Today when I meowed, the volunteer knew I was looking for a good head rub. Talk about heaven! I may not be a tiny kitten, but I'm still pretty young and have a spring in my step. I may be a little overweight, too, but that's no big deal - there's just more of me to love...and love you back! I am friendly, I love people, and I will love you so much if you adopt me. I have been spayed and house trained, and am current on my shots.
