REPORTING PRINCIPLES

Follow these guidelines:

✔ Do report everything.

Every call builds the legal record.

✔ Do stay factual and calm.

No accusations, no opinions — just what you saw or heard.

✔ Do NOT confront anyone.

Zero contact keeps the neighborhood protected legally.

✔ Do NOT engage in arguments, threats, or warnings.

The fraternity is looking for interactions — don’t give them any.

WHY DOCUMENTATION MATTERS

Hays County must establish a pattern of:

Repeated nuisance
Ongoing disturbances
Environmental hazards
Disregard for county officials and neighbors

When documented properly, this allows the county to:

✔ Issue citations

✔ Issue cease-and-desist orders

✔ Seek a court-ordered nuisance abatement

✔ Potentially shut down fraternity use of the property

The goal is not to remove tenants from living there — the goal is to end fraternity use of the property.
