About Us

Citizens for a Better Waller County is a grassroots, non-partisan organization that exists to "promote the protection and wise use of Waller County's natural and rural resources to ensure a healthy quality of life for all residents".

The origins of Citizens for a Better Waller County began during late 2004 and into the spring of 2005 when a small circle of neighbors began organizing to oppose the proposed general aviation county airport in north Waller County between Waller and Prairie View. The name for the group, Citizens for a Better Waller County, was adopted in the summer of 2005. The Waller County Commissioners' Court voted in July 2005 to put these airport plans on "the shelf."

From 2005-2009, CBWC was primarily focused on issues related to the Trans Texas Corridor, a superhighway toll road that was planned to go through Waller County.

In 2009, CBWC has started to focus its energy on local issues, such as recycling, animal control, mobility, private property rights, environmental issues, and local government. CBWC is committed to demanding open government, where citizens have the ability to see how decisions are made that impact our daily lives. We believe in that government should be run in the open sunshine, pursuant to the Texas Open Records Act and Texas Public Information Act.

For a list of our accomplishments since 2006, go to http://www.wallercountycitizens.org/behalf.php.

CBWC is currently governed by 12 directors that represent a wide cross section of Waller County, both geographically and culturally.
We need more local citizens voicing their concerns and joining the Citizens for a Better Waller County to devote time and/or money to this very important cause.
