Lost and Found

In this section

The Police Department maintains a limited Lost and Found collection for items left behind on campus.  If you find an item, please turn it in to the Police Department Building for processing and storage. 

If you have lost or misplaced an item while on campus, call our dispatch at 281-283-2222 to see if the item was turned in to our lost and found. You can also call dispatch to report your loss; we actively try to return found items to owners.
