History
In 1885 Piney Point Village began as a station on the Texas Western
Railroad . German farmers settled inthe area. According to 1936 state
highway maps, the community was near a sawmill. [ 3 ]
In the mid 1950s, effort to form a Spring Branch municipality failed.
[ 4 ] Piney Point Village incorporated in 1955 with an alderman form
of government. [ 3 ] Because of the 1955 incorporation, Houston did
not incorporate Piney Point Village's territory into its city limits,
while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were unincorporated . [ 5
] In 1960 the city had 1,790 residents. By 1966 the city had one
public school and four churches. In 1990 the city had3,380 residents.
[ 3 ]
For a decade ending in 1993 the Consulate-General of Japan in Houston
refused to pay "user fees" billed to the consulate by the City of
Piney Point Village (the consul-general residence is in Piney Point
Village). The Japanese argued that this was a tax and that diplomatic
facilities should not be taxed. [ 6 ] In 1993 Piney Point Village
announced that the consulate owed the city around $14,000 United
States dollars . [ 7 ] The Japanese argued that international
agreements exempted consulate facilities from taxes, while Piney Point
Village said the annual fees were for user services. James Baker, a
Piney Point Village alderman, threatened to suspend garbage pickup
services and exposethe Japanese consulate to ridicule. In September of
that year a U.S. State Department letter stated thatconsulates should
pay legitimate user fees, and that consulates do not have to pay for
fire and police services. The consulate paid almost$12,000, including
$4,500 in interest, to the city. According to Vice-Consul Takaki
Takinami originally the city charged$14,915.52 before changing the
invoice and deducting police and fire costs. Shojiro Imanishi, who was
the outgoing consul-general, agreed to pay $4,500 annually. [ 8 ] In
1993 the Consulate-General of Indonesia in Houston and the
Consulate-General of Australia in Houston had consul-general
residences in Piney Point Village; they paid the fees voluntarily and
without controversy.
