Happy Halloween, Harris County! Please watch out for trick-or-treaters, stay safe, and have fun.
Here are a few simple precautions that that can help keep everyone safe:
Be seen: Carry a flashlight or glow stick and add reflective material to costumes.
Stay alert: Use sidewalks and cross streets at crosswalks whenever possible.
Drive carefully: Slow down and watch for children, especially in residential neighborhoods.
Check the treats: Parents and caregivers should inspect candy before children eat it.
Prevent fires: Use battery-operated candles instead of open flames around costumes and decorations.
Protect your pets: Keep pets indoors and away from candy, chocolate, decorations, and the commotion at the door.

Please see the statement of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo released following the passing of labor rights leader Dolores Huerta:

“I met Dolores Huerta soon after I took office in 2019, when we both shared a stage in Houston. Since then, it has been an honor each time I’ve had the opportunity to visit with her. It’s always been a privilege to know that she knew me! She was a creative, passionate, loving, force of nature of a woman, and a role model for me. Yes, she was 96. But, in her presence and her strength, she was ageless. I simply assumed she’d continue to be with us. I am heartbroken by her passing and will miss her deeply. I will also always be inspired by her,” said Judge Lina Hidalgo.
