Your Board asks any members who are interested in volunteering their time and talent for this or several other projects to contact us to discuss.
10. What should I do if I have a problem with this website or would like to have something added to the site?
    • If you have questions/concerns or comments about using the site or with content on the site, please contact the Webmaster.
11. What should I do if I see or am the victim of an act of vandalism or see a suspicious person in my neighborhood?
    • You should contact the Tyler Police immediately. For immediate response – suspicious person or criminal act in process – call 911. If the problem doesn't warrant a 911 call, you can call the police non-emergency number at 903-531-1000.
12. What can I do to prevent people coming to my house trying to sell me something?
    • Because The Woods is an open community and not gated, we cannot prohibit all solicitation. We do have 'No Solicitation' signs at most entrances, but there is no legal enforcement behind them. As outlined in this City of Tyler Ordinance, the one recourse homeowners do have is to place a sign in a conspicuous location on or around your front door indicating you don't want to be disturbed or solicited. Should someone ignore this sign, you are then permitted to contact the Tyler PD. In addition, all solicitation is prohibited before 10AM, after sunset Monday-Saturday, and all day on Sunday. Also, solicitation is prohibited on most major holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day) You can get the Tyler PD involved should you be solicited at any of these prohibited times.
