Before they created Terrenos Houston – which is now known as Colony Ridge – developers John Harris, William Trey Harris, and cousin Robin Lane had their sights set on King’s Colony. They owned the majority of lots there and aimed to take control of the Property Owner’s Association (POA). To voice his concerns about King’s Colony, John Harris created a website.
John Harris wrote, “The job done by David Goolsby and Atascocita Paving was not a thickness of one inch.”
On the website, John Harris complained about poorly paved roads in King’s Colony. He specifically mentioned that the paving job done by David Goolsby and Atascocita Paving did not meet the required thickness of one inch. John Harris titled this issue the “Paving Scandal” and also posted photos of trash along the road. Furthermore, he stated that as of May 1, 2007, there were only five homes in King’s Colony, all of which were mobile homes.

Additionally, John Harris’s brother, William Trey Harris, testified in court against the previous director, Ira Crain. This was in a lawsuit someone else had served her with. Trey Harris accused her of misusing $200,000 of the POA funds. Ira Crain was ultimately sentenced to seven years in prison. John Harris featured her case and mug shot on his website.
After Ira Crain was removed from her position, the Harris and Lane family gained control of the POA and increased the fees. However, this decision led to John Harris being sued by a group of residents.
Concerns About King’s Colony Today
Currently, the management of the POA is handled by Savannah Crihfield, John Harris’s niece, through her company CH&P Management. Unfortunately, it seems that King’s Colony has not seen significant improvements over the years.
However, there are further concerns about this Montgomery County subdivision.
However, there are additional concerns regarding this Montgomery County subdivision. One of our sources provided us with information that we deemed important to share with the federal government before making it public. When researching King’s Colony properties in the Montgomery County Central Appraisal District (CAD), it was discovered that some properties are owned by individuals from countries like Syria. This raises questions about whether Texas is selling land to a country that has been designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism since December 1979 and sanctioned by the federal government.
Considering that we still have troops fighting ISIS in Syria, this raises concerns about national security. It is important for us to address these concerns and evaluate the potential implications.
Montgomery County Appraisal District Sends Mail to Syria Tied to King’s Colony
According to our source, they stated, “There are bills going to Saudi, Syria, Egypt, Kuwait, Pakistan, and others I cannot remember. We questioned why MoCo [Montgomery County] was sending mail to terrorist countries. After that, the bills started going to a 3rd party here in the states. That lasted a few years and now I see the mail is going back to the foreign countries again.”
Is there a deeper motive behind John Harris’s desire to take over King’s Colony? If not, have he and his group reported these lots to the government themselves? Should we be concerned about a potential national security risk associated with this development, which is linked to the creators of Colony Ridge? Or have they chosen to ignore these issues in exchange for financial gain?

John Harris, the owner of Colony Ridge Terrenos Houston, has expressed his dislike for growing up poor and living in rundown trailers. He stated, “We’re not saying we didn’t get into this business to make money because we definitely did. But we did it because we hated being poor when we were growing up and living in some of those types of ratty trailers.” (Source: Houston Chronicle).
Hate poverty and ratty trailers? We hear you, John Harris!
