Baytown Post Office Entrances
Blocked After Utility Line Damage

For the past two days, entrances to the Baytown Post Office have been blocked off with orange cones, preventing vehicles from driving in. Customers have been parking at the strip center next door and walking over to reach the post office.

According to reports, a large garbage truck caused damage that brought down utility lines across a wide area in front of the post office and the neighboring shopping center. As of midday Thursday, no timeline has been given for when service or access will be fully restored.

Mont Belvieu Parks & Rec
Reminds Visitors to
Be Mindful of Alligators

Everyone LOVES Mont Belvieu’s parks... and so do the gators! That’s just part of life here in Southeast Texas.
While our toothy neighbors usually keep to themselves, this is the season when they’re on the move and nesting.
The awesome Parks & Rec team works hard to relocate any unwelcome visitors (they’ve already asked two to leave this week 🐊➡️🚪), but they ask that you stay mindful—especially around pond areas—that alligators may be present.

With a little awareness (and not a lot of worry), Mont Belvieu parks will continue to be safe, fun, and welcoming for everyone!
