Wiseman - Oak Wilt Presentation
In her work as a Woodland Ecologist with Texas A&M Forest Service, she advises property owners on a number of issues, one being the Oak Wilt disease that affects the oak trees in the central Texas area.
We were fortunate to have her speak at our joint meeting with Balcones Country Club about Oak Wilt, which has been identified in our neighborhood. She addressed identification, spread, control, and treatment of the disease.
Who Can Drive Golf Carts on Public Streets
Spring is coming, and it is fun to cruise around in a golf cart. However, there are a few legal considerations. If the golf carts are driven on public streets, they must be licensed and insured. Also, the drivers of the carts must be the same - having a valid Texas Driver's License and insurance.
Possible outcomes include being stopped by APD or a Travis County Constable with tickets issued for unlicensed and uninsured driver and unlicensed and uninsured vehicle. The fines will add up and noted when auto insurance renews. Also, should there be property damage or injury to a person, other insurance difficulties may arise, depending on your carrier.
