Guests

Call the entry station at 210-698-3588 to provide the name of the guest(s) or name of vendor’s company and your name and address. 
* Please provide a guest list arranged in alphabetical order by last name when expecting several vehicles or party guests to help the entry station navigate the list quickly. 

Failure to provide the entry station prior notice of guest/vendor arrival requires the entry station to call the resident when the guest or vendor arrives. If no one answers or if the telephone number is unlisted, admittance will be denied.
Upon arriving at the Entry Station, guests will be asked their name and the resident name and address they seek. The entry station will log the time the guest enters and the vehicle license number.
