Houston FAQ

Must Houston warn before clearing an encampment?

Yes. Standard protocol requires 72-hour posted notice and outreach contact. Emergency cleanups for immediate health hazards may proceed faster but still require property-storage compliance.

Items deemed not abandoned must be bagged, tagged, and stored for retrieval. Federal due-process rulings prohibit destruction of personal property without notice and storage opportunity.
