Fort Bend County court to take over 2 miles of Fulshear Lakes streets, OK 129 Cross Creek West lots on Thursday

Two growing Fulshear-area neighborhoods are on Fort Bend County Commissioners Court's agenda this Thursday. The court meets Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. in Richmond, and its posted agenda includes finished streets in Fulshear Lakes, three new sections of Cross Creek West and a renewal of the county's tax collection deal with the City of Fulshear.

Most of the neighborhood items are on the consent agenda, which the court usually approves in a single vote without discussion.

Which Fulshear Lakes streets move to the county?

The county would accept three sets of finished streets in Fulshear Lakes, the community around Lamar CISD's Morgan Elementary, and release the bonds the developer posted to guarantee the work:

• Fulshear Lakes Way and Lou Waters Parkway: 3,943.98 linear feet, with a $514,801 bond released.
• Creekside Village Section 3: 5,555.89 linear feet, including parts of Fulshear Lakes Way, Fly Fish Way, Calico Pennant Way and Red Shiner Way, with a $416,001.60 bond released.
• Creekside Village Section 4: 2,163.71 linear feet on Fly Fish Way, Red Shiner Way, Comet Darner Way and Calico Pennant Way, with a $155,824.90 bond released.

Together that's about 2.2 miles of streets and $1,086,627.50 in bonds. Once the county accepts the streets, it takes over maintaining them from the developer.

Lou Waters Parkway and Fulshear Lakes Way are also part of the county's Major Thoroughfare Plan. The county's engineering department lists an amendment covering their alignment as approved Aug. 13.

129 more homesites in Cross Creek West

The court would also approve the lot and road plats for Cross Creek West Sections 17, 18 and 19. According to the county's plat recording sheets, the owner on all three is CCR West 2, Inc.:

• Section 17: 16 lots on 8.339 acres.
• Section 18: 72 lots on 24.93 acres.
• Section 19: 41 lots on 13.57 acres.

That's 129 lots on about 46.8 acres. Fulshear's Planning and Zoning Commission recommended all three final plats on Aug. 7 in a unanimous vote, after city staff said minor comments had been addressed. Because the neighborhood is outside city limits, its plats also go through the county.

The city's tax bill stays with the county

Separately, the court will consider a first amendment to its agreement with the City of Fulshear (and a matching one with Richmond) under which the Fort Bend County Tax Assessor-Collector bills and collects the city's property taxes, including penalties, interest and attorney's fees on late taxes. The agenda says the amended agreement runs through June 30, 2027. It's about who collects the taxes, not the city's tax rate.

Extra deputy patrol for Fulshear MUD 3A

On the consent agenda, Fulshear Municipal Utility District No. 3A is renewing its contract for extra patrol by a deputy from Fort Bend County Constable Precinct 1, from Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027. Under the contract, the district pays 95% of the deputy's costs, and either side can end it with 30 days' written notice.
