Hi, I am 16 years old, and I have lived in the northern part of Rowlett Texas my whole life. I wanted to ask if anyone knows any older people (from their 60's to 80's or even older) if they remember when Rowlett Texas was a small farming community and ask them questions such as if they remember any older people from their time telling any stories about Rowlett. (I am doing this to capture history and to capture a Rowlett Texas dialect/ old DFW dialect).

Hey Everyone.

Our dog got out during Thanksgiving sometime between 5:30 and 8:30PM. She's skittish towards people but loves other dogs.

The area was right around the Rowlett/Garland area where Rowlett Rd. turns into Firewheel Pkwy on Castle.

We looked around for about 3 hours on Thanksgiving and another 2 hours today in Springfield Estates but had no look. None of the vets had seen her come in and both animal services were closed today.

Please let us know if you've seen anything. Here's our lost poster.

Hi! My husband and I will be moving to Rowlett soon, me moving back as I grew up there, and I was just wondering if there are any LGBT+ organizations in the city?

Thanks in advance!

I'm moving to a very new neighborhood in Rowlett. I've already lived in Rowlett for a while and I've used spectrum and it has been not so good and that is when there was competition like Frontier. However the new neighborhood only has spectrum. Should I be worried that the internet would be just as bad if not worse? I just hope that internet providers like Frontier and At&t are able to be in my new neighborhood so at least there will be competition for Spectrum.

Hey Rowlett people,

Let's push google to bring fiber to Rowlett. Everybody who is interested in the fastest internet available follow the link below and check availability. Once it tells you that it isn't available it'll ask if you want to be notified when it's available and all you have to do is input your email. A google fiber tech from San Antonio TX told us that Google keeps track of what cities to go to next through this website.

My family is moving to Texas in the next couple of months. Curious about the city of Rowlett. My kids are ages 5-13. Hoping to move to an area where there are also other young families. Any suggestions? Looking on Zillow and Realtor.com, the school scores tend to be a little lower than in other areas. Any credence to that?

Does anyone know of any running tracks that are open to the public in the Roweltt/Rockwall area?

On Nov 3 ballot, if we approve the tax rate election our property tax rate goes to $1.34. BUT if we don’t approve, then our tax rate goes much lower to $1.2563. Last year’s tax rate was $1.39. I don’t know about you, but I could use a tax break.

I found some wireless earbuds at a park in Rowlett today. Owner probably wants them back. If they're yours, DM me the brand and the park where you lost them.

Hey!

I'm moving to Rowlett and I see that frontier communications has service out there. Most ISP don't have good reviews online because people only leave reviews when something is wrong so I'd thought I'd try to get information on users who currently have service with them.

How good is frontier communications internet?

Thanks!

Has anyone ever participated in the Leadership Rowlett program? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience.

1. What is the commute like from Rowlett to Irving?
2. Are toll roads a must or are there non toll road options?
3. How about safety? Is it considered a pretty safe area?

Please share in your Rowlett communities especially to those that are most vulnerable. Rowlett citizens helping other Rowlett citizens :). https://www.facebook.com/jane.samaniego.1/posts/3161148780596457
