Canyon Gate

James Drew of the Houston Chronicle described it as the "de facto government" of Canyon Gate.

[4] Canyon Gate was not defined as being in a 100-year floodplain so not very many residents obtained flood insurance.

[3] In 1996 MUD 8 began selling bonds to pay off the developer's costs of creating the subdivision.

[4] In August 2017 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flooded the subdivision during Hurricane Harvey as the Barker Reservoir filled to approximately 54% of its capacity.
