The Las Colinas Association

History of Las Colinas

. . . . Even though they hadn't yet created a development plan, the Carpenters knew the approach they would take: First, they would resist selling off or subdividing land. They would preserve the natural beauty of the ranch, with its gentle mesquite-covered hills, its creeks and lakes. They would take the opportunity to create a development of extraordinary and lasting quality. Working with Ben's brother-in-law, Dan Williams, and Wayne Hurd, who later became the first president of Las Colinas Corporation, John and Ben began to put the early pieces in place.

The most pressing issue was preventing undesirable development, and nipping what already existed in the bud. . . .

Security Dispatch

All members of the Las Colinas Association can take advantage of the 24-hour central station dispatch and patrol service. These services are provided free of charge to all members and supplement the fire and police protection provided by the City of Irving. The Association´s central station is UL-listed and certified and monitors intrusion/burglar, police/panic and fire alarm signals.

The central station security alarm monitoring service is available to any Las Colinas Association member or tenant whose system meets the Association´s technical specifications and requirements. (Please refer to the "technical specifications" in this section for further details.) In addition, all accounts whose alarms are monitored by the Association´s Security Department are provided with yard-mounted monitoring signs free of charge. Please note that the Association does not install or repair alarm systems. This must be done by a qualified, state-licensed alarm company of the property owner´s choosing.

Insurance companies frequently provide discount to Members who have monitored alarm systems. Most require "proof of monitoring". Please contact the Security Department -- we will be happy to provide you with this documentation.

The Association has five marked vehicles which patrol throughout the development 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officers are on the lookout for any suspicious activities or emergency situations, and they notify the City´s police or fire department when any of these situations are found.
