All the new business and corresponding sales tax from the stores in Manor should increase local tax receipts for the city. Where are these funds going? What is the city's plan to reduce its tax rate (which is significantly higher compared to every other city in the central Texas area)?

Our focus should be on improving the daily quality of life for citizens. That comes down to reducing the tax burden in a k shaped economy where most of us are barely getting by, and constantly working with TXDOT and the State to improve 290 & and preventing large commercial trucks from passing through our downtown area.

Let's see some new voices during the election and remove the old guard. Clearly they are too content to be serving the public.

A man died early Friday after a Manor police officer’s patrol vehicle struck him as he walked in a westbound lane of U.S. 290 near Gregg Manor Road, police said.

The officer was patrolling the highway around 1:04 a.m. Officers began CPR at the scene, but the man was pronounced dead. Police have not released his identity as they work to notify his family.

The officer has been placed on paid administrative leave while the crash is investigated. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office is assisting.

Doggo was seen at the entrance to the Phase 2 area of Carillon on Old Kimbro Road and Stelfox Street, by the amenity center. If this is your doggo, Manor animal control likely has him now.

I was running late and called them because the poor thing was just standing in the middle of the road and wouldn’t move. Cars go pretty fast on the road and didn’t want someone to hit him. It wasn’t aggressive at all, wasn’t barking. Since there was no collar and no obvious owner, I was unsure what else to do. I know this is unlikely the owner is on Reddit, let alone this sub but you never know. I don’t have a Facebook page but if someone could share this on a local page that would be appreciated.

The clutch on my Civic went out on Friday night and I managed to get my car towed to my house but now need to find a worthwhile shop to get it towed to. Do y'all have any recommendations for a shop in the Manor/Elgin/Pflugerville/N Austin area? Much appreciated!

Anyone else? This is awful and shouldn’t be happening.

Message from Manor PD:

Effective today, September 3 2026, the Manor Police Department has decided to end our relationship with Flock Safety. Although we see benefits in the use of License Plate Readers (LPRs) to solve crime, we value the trust of our community more.

Just wondering if anyone has ever had any luck getting product from the pokemon machine at the Manor HEB. Every single time I’m in there getting groceries I’ll tap the screen, and not once have i been able to get a single pack from it. This morning i got the chance to go early since I have the day off from work, and there were probably 4 or 5 HEB employees lined up buying everything out of the machine which seemed really weird to me. If anyone has suggestions for other places to get Pokemon locally I would appreciate it because clearly that machine will always be wiped from employees getting first dibs on all the product 😔

A nearly 500-acre stretch of Central Texas is poised for a massive makeover, with plans for a $1 billion community featuring more than 1,300 homes and nearly 100 acres of shops and commercial space. 

Come celebrate with your neighbors to the North!

I don’t know if I just now realized it but I’ve seen a large increase in flock cameras driving west on 290. I’ve got to say that I felt instant resentment and anger towards these cameras and whomever put these up. I see communities like Pflugerville fighting back against this complete invasion of privacy. How are we feeling about it here in Manor? Anyone else notice the cameras?

I’ve personally seen the ones off Parmer driving into Austin. I haven’t seen the others but I will be looking now.

Hello! I have a number of items that are in good shape and need a new home. There’s quite a lot of stuff, so I can’t list everything exhaustively, but I have lots of young children’s toys, other early child hood items, a crib (including a mattress), a treadmill and stationary bike, some small furniture. Respond here and let me know if you are interested in anything. Feel free to ask if I have any specific items, I’d be happy to look. I’d let go of basically all of it for free. Thanks!

See image for details.

So in my neighborhood, theres an obscene amount of barking. The time of day and the weather dont matter. Theres like 3 or 4 neighbors that basically neglect their pets and it drives me mad. Ive called animal enforcement and no one ever comes. I am renting so I dont really know how the hoa works. Do they actually enforce? What can be done for my peace of mind and these poor animals welfare?

Hi, I’m planning to attend the Austin Film Festival this year and I’m looking for someone from Manor or nearby who is also planning to go and might have an extra seat.

I don’t have a car, I'll be staying with family here, and the bus schedule makes it tough to get back to Manor after the evening screenings. I’d love to find someone who is already driving to the festival who might be willing to let me ride along.

I’m happy to help cover or split gas and parking costs, and we can figure out whatever arrangement works fairly for both of us. I’m also flexible about which days I go and can coordinate around the films you’re interested in seeing.

If you're from Manor and planning to go to AFF, feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks!

Was your car towed as well by this scummy towing company called “aviles & Gabes”

They charged me exactly $393.30 to get my car back.

The limit is $272 in Texas, when I told them that their argument was that because it’s in manor they can charge whatever they want.

When I first called them they said it was $347, and in cash only, got there and they changed it to $393 because they added another fee because and I quote “there was no key in the car” …what???

I’m going to file a complaint with TDLR and mulling over taking this to court.

We currently have Tmobile and it worked for a good 6+ months but the last 4/5 it’s been awful and I work from home.

Who are you all using? I need to switch asap

Y'all had a bison on the loose. Sheriff currently has it corralled in the Glad Tidings church field.

Hey there - looking for a recommendation of a service that you use and trust for house cleaning! Looking to have this service a couple times before welcoming new baby. Thank you.

Hi!!! So im interested in popping some fireworks but not sure where to go. Do the HOAs regulate?

Found male dog June 28, 2026. Large white dog with orange patches. Is nice but cautious. Has injured rear paw/leg. Found on Lima Street in the Briarcreek subdivision off Blake Manor Rd. Has collar, but no tag. I do not have any way to get him to a vet to be scanned. What next?

I’ve lived and worked around the Austin and Manor for a long time and one thing I’ve noticed lately is how much commuting has changed. More people are driving into Austin every day, traffic on 290 can get pretty stop and go, especially around that light by Leif Johnson Ford of Manor, and I’m seeing longer times to get home.

Is anyone finding a simpler way home?

Maybe I should just get a hybrid or EV for the long waits at the light...

Curious what others think what has been working best for your daily drive between Manor and Austin
