On September 14, 2025, MUD 500 received a report of a confirmed sighting of an alligator in the central portion of MUD 500’s lakes, between Greenhouse Road and Puckett Island. MUD 500 immediately notified its wildlife management contractor of the sighting and directed the trapper to actively monitor for an alligator and, if one is located, to immediately remove it upon obtaining the required nuisance permit from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The District respectfully requests that residents of and visitors to Towne Lake refrain from interfering with its wildlife management contractor and/or any of the contractor’s lines, traps, or other equipment left in or near its lakes.
MUD 500 continues to request that residents report any sightings of alligators to its operator, Inframark, at (832) 467-1599. MUD 500 encourages your district to share this information with your residents. Please visit MUD 500’s website, at http://www.hcmud500.org, for additional information.
