A first-time pilot should plan for wildlife and glider activity in the area. Runway line of sight is limited between the ends. Runway 32 has a published obstacle note on approach, so verify the current Chart Supplement before arrival and brief the approach carefully. For clearance delivery contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. This is an uncontrolled field, so standard self-announce discipline matters on the CTAF.
