Spring Klein Petition
Spring Petition June 5,2008
We the Citizens and Business owners of Spring -Klein, Texas enter into record this petition for the independent incorporation of Spring- Klein, Texas. We seek to remove the boundaries from servitude to the City of Houston as an additional territory. Spring- Klein is located in northwest Harris County and southeast Montgomery County. This area through this affirmation for sovereignty by acting in its own interest for a Municipal Seal and that it receive funds from the State and US treasuries as a municipality with dominion to self government. This is to include all such funds that provide for funding to municipalities from the General Funds and all other departmental funding through the State and Federal Government.
We the citizen of Spring-Klein, Texas declare our jurisprudence for our own City thereby we shall maintain the name Spring%u2013Klein, Texas. Also keeping with the laws and statutes of the Great State of Texas demand our right to formulate our own City Hall with elections through the democratic process for Mayoral and City Council Seats etc. In addition that we%u2019re also provided any additional congressional and senatorial seats in our national Electoral System
This transition will provide for this city to operate its own Emergency Response Systems for first responders and also shall provide a city government as well as to elect its legislative and senatorial seats at both State and Federal legislative branches in accordance to regulations and Statutes and the past practices of formulating the independence of other cities such as Sugarland, West University Place, Southside Place, Bellaire, Webster, Baytown, Etc. Due to our size and our population we find our position in order that of all the listed cites in this document Spring is the largest of them all.
We shall continue as an established part of the Metropolitan Area of the City of Houston and feel our position adds to the Metropolis. However our intent is to increase upon our growth and our ability to maintain Law and Order to our region keeping with the growth by the establishment of City Ordinances enforced by the Spring- Klein Police Department.
We as Citizens and Business owners of Spring maintain the right to all land trust pertinent to the laws and statutes of State of Texas demand all original boundaries be respected and any new territory by which there are undiscovered boundaries. We ask these and any boundaries are respected and all lands belonging to the Spring- Klein Area are indeed through this process protected from future annexation by Houston or the Woodlands. This will insure proper taxation for the complete area and that no land be negotiated to Houston, The Woodlands or any area in the Metropolis thereto misappropriation by any means

I feel we need to unite to make all this work for our area.
I have felt that Spring has needed to incorporate for several years. We have a great community and would have a great city. If we do not incorporate we will continue to be exposed to taxation with representation by the City of Houston or suffer the same fate as Kingwood and other communities that were forced into the City of Houston. With Houston will come higher crime rates, decreased public services, longer police, fire & EMS response times, higher water bills, and all the extra garbage that the City of Houston subjects its citizens to on a daily basis.
I live in Lakes Avalon Village where the Grand Parkway Assoc wants to put the 99
Spring - Klein has been an outstanding community for a long time. There is no need to bring the City of Houston here. Most of the people live here because they don't want to be in the City of Houston. I think it should remain that way.
I support the idea of independence from a Houston take-over. We already pay Houston taxes in at Wal-Mart, What-a-burger and all the stores on I-45 and other main streets in Spring. That money should stay here for our good. I do not want to give Houston (the school bully) my “lunch money” to leave me alone like the Woodlands did.
Self governance is one of the pillars or our grand republic and should the majority of Spring-Klein residents agree we must demand our rights.
I at least feel that the voters/taxpayers in this area should be allowed to meet to discuss the best options for our governance.
As a resident of Spring and employee of Spring ISD,I feel this is a step forward for both cities.
Developing our own unique municipality will further enhance our business and residential community. We are proud of our area, and we wish to solidify it as its own community with its own name under its own jurisdiction.
I agree, should be Spring, TX
Houston has become a sprawling nightmare. The most successful cities are those comprised of separate and independent communities where service and needs are not lost in the excess of size and complexity.
Let's push this thing through!
It seems that we should also look at the economics of the decision. Based on what I pay for in our home-owners association and what services we contract to pay currently on our own, it appears to me that the City of Houston does not assist me. As a matter of fact I cannot even vote for the mayor of Houston though my insurance rates and other things are affected by being in Harris County and most equate that to Houston.
Get out from paying for HOUSTON and pay for OURSELVES!! Good luck to us. SMC
