Report a Concern

The City of Windcrest thrives in making communication between citizens and the city as easy as possible. As part of that effort, TextMyGov and Report a Concern are now available! Both are an easy way to connect to the city to get information on events, meetings, send your concerns and inquiries. How does it all work?

With TextMyGov your questions, concerns and inquiries are answered by texting a few keywords such as REPORT, AGENDA, LOOSE ANIMAL, CIVIC CENTER, OR ELECTION. If the responses you receive were not helpful, simply text the word "Chat". This message will be sent directly to a staff member and reply during regular business hours. Text "Hi" to (210) 660-5332 to start communicating with us!

Want to report a potential code violation in your area? Or do you have concerns about city operations? Or send a compliment or “kudos”? Go to the city’s website, www.windcrest-tx.gov, and click on the “Report a Concern" button. Complete a form with your information and what you want to communicate to the city. By leaving your contact information we can reach out to you in case we need more information about the report or as a followup. Anonymous reports will not receive feedback about the report they made, and we will be unable to reach out to get more information about the report. You can include up to 4 attachments to your report to help us better understand the reason for your report. Once the city receives the completed online form, a city employee will refer the concerns to the proper department to review within 24 to 48 hours. Reports about police business and police officers should be made directly with the police department.

It’s Small Business Month!

Small Business Month was established in 1963 and celebrated yearly in May. It intended to pay special tribute to small businesses and their community efforts, hard work, and impact on the American culture and economy.

Did you know that small businesses are the backbone of the United States? Yes, according to a 2020 study by the U.S. Small Business Administration (S.B.A.), there are 31.7 million small businesses in the United States. Windcrest is a community of small businesses, and WEDC is committed to keeping and expanding them.

With competition increasing rapidly in the business ecosystem, small business owners struggle to keep up with the big businesses for survival.

Windcrest has over 277 businesses in our community, primarily small family-owned and operated businesses.

Did you know?

• Small businesses account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses.

• Small businesses create 1.5 million jobs annually.

• About 70% of small businesses are owned and operated by a single person.

• It takes just six days to start a business in the U.S.

• Only 50% of small businesses survive for the first five years.

So, let’s support small businesses and strengthen the economy! During Small Business month, we will profile local businesses with the help of WEDC Board members. Stay tuned to our website (Windcrest-txedc.com) and Facebook & Instagram (windcrestedc) to see the board’s comments and highlighted small businesses.
