Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office (FBCSO) invites residents in unincorporated Fort Bend County to begin planning for National Night Out, celebrated on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

National Night Out brings neighbors and law enforcement together to strengthen community partnerships and promote safer neighborhoods. Residents, businesses, and community organizations planning block parties, cookouts, or other neighborhood gatherings are encouraged to register their events with FBCSO.

During National Night Out, Sheriff’s Office personnel will strive to visit registered events throughout the county to meet with residents and engage with the communities they serve.

To request Sheriff's Office visit, event organizers must register their gathering by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 2, 2026, using the QR code on the flyer or the following registration link: https://www.fbctx.gov/so-tx-national-night-out

“National Night Out gives us an opportunity to meet our residents where they are and continue building relationships beyond calls for service,” said Sheriff Eric Fagan. “We encourage our communities to come together, get to know their neighbors, and spend some time with the deputies who serve them every day.”

TROPICAL STORM EDOUARD UPDATE | Tuesday Morning

Tropical Storm Edouard has strengthened overnight and is expected to continue strengthening as it approaches the northwestern Gulf Coast later today. According to the latest National Hurricane Center advisory, Edouard could approach hurricane strength before reaching the coast.

For Fort Bend County, heavy rainfall and the potential for street flooding are possible.

Here is what the farther reaching area may experience if you have travel plans:

🌧️ Heavy rain will impact portions of the Upper Texas Coast today and Wednesday as Edouard moves inland.
⚠️ Flash flooding is possible, particularly in urban, low-lying and flood-prone areas or where heavy rain repeatedly moves over the same locations.
🌊 Area streams and rivers will be monitored for potential rises as rainfall continues.
🌀 Tropical storm warning is in effect for portions of the coast; Fort Bend County is not currently under a Tropical Storm Warning.

While Edouard’s center is forecast to remain east of Fort Bend County, the forecast cone only represents the probable track of the storm’s center — impacts can extend well outside the cone.

Stay weather-aware today. Keep multiple ways to receive alerts, use caution during periods of heavy rainfall, and never attempt to drive through a flooded roadway.

🚨 SCAM ALERT – STAY VIGILANT, FORT BEND COUNTY! 🚨

Scammers are getting more aggressive — using fear, urgency, and high-tech tricks to steal your money or personal information. One of the most common schemes hitting our community right now:

Jury Duty & Bench Warrant Scams. You may get a call claiming you missed jury duty or have a bench warrant.

❌ They’ll try to scare you into paying “fines” to avoid arrest.
🛑 Fact: Law enforcement will never demand payment over the phone.
🛑 Fact: Only a judge can assign a fine.

REMEMBER:
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office (FBCSO), judicial, and federal agencies will NEVER call or email you to demand payment. Any real warrant or legal matter will be handled in person.

👉 If you’re unsure, trust your instincts — hang up and verify independently.
