Houston Parks and Recreation accidentally cut down my tree?

This happened two weeks ago. It wasn’t a good looking tree, but it was my tree.

The tree does kind of border the city’s right of way. Determined to get to the root of this mystery, I called 3-1-1 to inquire about it. I was told there was no report or record of any tree removal work at or near my address. At this point, I was stumped. Either the city did it or someone paid a lot of money to get it cut and removed.
