Description

Resident concern theme. Pomona is located in the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Manvel. This means residents are subject to some — but not all — Manvel city regulations, while Brazoria County Sheriff (not Manvel PD) is the primary law enforcement authority, and residents do not pay city taxes. This creates genuine ambiguity for residents trying to report issues correctly. This record is a community resource: residents who have received conflicting guidance about which authority handles their complaint are encouraged to co-sign and document their experience.

📋 Documentation Only

This report is for documentation purposes only. The resident is creating a public record of this issue — no formal escalation is currently active.
