Emergencies:
For many emergencies, it is correct to call 911. Even though the address of the caller comes up immediately on the screen at 911 dispatch, it is important to tell them exactly where you are. (There is another Oak Forest Drive off of Hamilton Pool Road, and many delivery trucks wind up there by mistake if they don't have a zip code.)
Since an elderly parent spends a lot of time at our house, we have a laminated card next to our phone that reads: "I am ______Oak Forest Drive in the Oak Forest subdivision, west of Buda in Hays County. We are west of 1626, on the north side of RR 967." If he ever needs to call 911 when we are not here, he will (hopefully) be able to give them those minimal directions.

Speed Limits
A friendly reminder that the posted speed limit within Oak Forest is 30 mph. We continue to have numerous occurrences of both cars and trucks exceeding the speed limit. School has once again started so we must be aware of school buses and children waiting for school buses in the early morning hours. We are also approaching the time of year where the days get shorter. We have a beautiful neighborhood in which many of our neighbors enjoy early morning and evening walks. As the days get shorter, more of this walking occurs in lower light conditions. Be courteous and follow the speed limit to make our neighborhood a safe place to enjoy a walk and a safe place for our children
