Constable Rowdy Hayden wants residents to be as safe as possible when meeting strangers to purchase/sell online items, so he has created a "Safe Exchange Zone" at the East Montgomery County Court Annex for all to use.
"Simply come by, park along the curb and exchange your goods that you bought/sold on sites like Facebook Marketplace, Offer Up, etc. As always be proactive and do your research, there are scams and stolen property people try and move through the sites, if it sounds too good, it probably is. Also take advantage of the county tax office in the same building, have your vehicle's registration changed over at the same time!"
The Annex is located at 21130 Hwy 59 New Caney, TX 77357.
The exchange area is on the northwest corner of the building, and is always monitored by video surveillance.
