“The businesses and citizens of north Harris County have made it clear that they refuse to just stand by and allow their communities to deteriorate to the point where prostitution is looked upon as a normal part of our local society. These types of illegal activities seem to attract other bad elements such as drug dealers and users, thieves and others who would prey upon our local residents. It will not be overlooked, tolerated or condoned within our local communities where we live and raise our children,” Herman said.
To report illegal prostitution or other unlawful activities, people can go to www.cd4.hctx.net, click “On-Line Services,” and then click on “Regulatory Violation.” Complainants can remain anonymous if they choose.
