Post Office changes concern local patrons

NORTHEAST– Local postal patrons in zip codes 77039 and 77093 have received notice that their mail will now be distributed from the post office at 7511 N. Shepherd Drive, instead of the Roy Royall station within their district.
Postal officials have not officially commented to the public about the changes, but unofficial reports from several sources have indicated to the Northeast News that the future plan includes closing the Mesa Drive Post Office, and transfering their mail to two other stations. Zip codes 77028 and 77078 would be processed at Roy Royall, and zips 77044 and 77049 would go to another location, perhaps Granville station in East Houston. Boxes with 77228 zip codes would be moved to Roy Royall.
Postal patrons will still receive their mail the same at homes and businesses. But any business conducted at the post office for 039 and 093 customers, such as pick-ups of undelivered mail, would be from the Shepherd location.
This procedure has already been implemented. The Shepherd station is near Little York west of I-45.
