Official Timberlake Ranch Landowners' Web Site is a site is sponsored by the landowners' association and provides information useful for Timberlake Ranch landowners. It is entirely separate from, and unaffiliated with Timberlake-Ramah News (TRnews) which is an independent, privately owned, news service.


ROSIE ALERT SYSTEM
     (Posted 9-05-07) Danny Montoya is working to establish a phone/e-mail tree with all fulltime Timberlake residents. This would establish a first response team who will alert other fulltime residents of a lost pet(s), establish a photo bank of all Timberlake Ranch pets (horses, cats, dogs, etc.) for making and posting flyers in strategic locations as soon as possible. Read more details here.
Letter from Sheriff
     (Posted 11-1-07) The Cibola County Sheriff's Dept. has asked for our help in placing rural address numbers on our driveways, and street signs in our area. Understanding what they need will greatly help response time, and help keep crime down. Get more details: read the entire letter here.
http://www.13districtcourt.com/index.htm The 13th Judicial District Court has provided a new and incredibly useful resource for landowners who live in Cibola County. Legal forms, court programs, and frequently asked questions, are just a part of what is available. Legal form packets available on line include divorce with children and without, driver's license restoration, name change and sealing juvenile records. Also useful for local full-time residents is a link to jury duty that lets you know whether or not you are being called.

http://www.fscll.org/ Is a very "user friendly" site that gives you access to the New Mexico Supreme Court Library. It is very easy to look up New Mexico State Statutes, Case Law, and other court links.

McKinley County maps
    (Posted 3-14-06) New on this site are Timberlake Ranch lot maps for McKinley County in PDF format. You can zoom in on your own lot and print out whatever level of detail you want.

Rural addresses crucial
    
 (Posted 1-3-05)- Recently a call was made from a resident of Timberlake Ranch to the 911 emergency number. The arrival of the Sheriff's Deputy was delayed somewhat due to the fact that there was no official physical address posted at the property. Many landowners have not taken the necessary steps to obtain these very important addresses. More information here.

Emergency 911 databases
     (Posted 1-3-05)-There have been many instances across the country of physical addresses not matching up with the telephone number associated with that address in the 911 emergency databases. If you have such a mismatch it can be disastrous, even life-threatening. Find out how to check for your property.
