I live near Westheimer and Dunvale. My boyfriend & I were playing video games when we heard someone screaming loudly & distraught. A man in a red car dragged a woman out by her hair & dumped her & her stuff right in front of our apartment and sped off. We both went out to see if there was anything we could do to help, but she was crying frantically & didn't speak good English. This was 30 minutes ago. We gave her some water & pointed towards a few shelters, but none of them open until the morning. I'm concerned, but there's nothing more we can do to help her. I can only imagine how horrifying it must be to stuck out on the streets as a woman with nowhere to go in the middle of the night.

I just moved to Houston from out of state, been an interesting first few months so far...

Edit: We didn't call the cops because the woman didn't want any other help than the water, so we let her be

I live off Westheimer & Dunvale, my apartment complex turned off the water because they're afraid of the pipes bursting, but its only 42 degrees outside?? I can't take a shower, cook, or flush the toilet. Is this even allowed?

Edit: I just moved here in November, so this is my 1st year in Houston. Going very peachy so far....
