Kemah launches text messaging service to connect city and residents

Kemah has launched TextMyGov, a text messaging service that connects residents and visitors with the city.

The details

To use TextMyGov, users do not need to download an app, but simply text “Hi” to 281-336-0123 to ask questions, report concerns or find information about city services and local attractions, according to an April 6 release from the city.

According to the release, the texting service allows users to access and share information, such as:

• Trash schedules
• Records requests
• Reporting issues like potholes or drainage problems
• Information about events, dining and attractions

One more thing

TextMyGov is not used for emergency notifications, according to the city’s website.
