Residents be advised of new city ordinace regarding pet poop in other neighbors yards. It is now illegal for pet owners to allow their pets to defecate on public or private property. The process is as follows:

*Aggrieved residents can file a complaint by completing an affidavit form at the Fort Worth Animal Care and Control Center, located at 4900 Martin Street. The complainant must provide the name and address of the pet owener, a brief description of the animal, the date, and location of the incident.
*A completed affidavit will allow animal control officials to issue a citation to the pet owner. The complainant would need to appear as a witness in any subsequent court action.
*If the compliant does not wish to complete an affidavit, officials can issue a warning notice.
*Animal control officers who witness these violations may also give citations.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WHITE LAKE RESIDENTS:
