Overgrown yard?
 
The house behind me has been vacant for over a year & the yard is full of weeds that are hanging over my yard.
 
Every time l let my dogs out into my backyard, they bark their heads off at something in that mess.
 
Is there anything I can do to get someone or the HOA to clean up that mess?

Report it to the HOA and they have to send a letter. Don't assume the HOA is doing the drive by's and sending letters....

Don't know if anyone even checks the mail box
 
The city of Houston has a sign posted for a few months about a violation about the front yard & its still not cleaned up.

Bigmaico : When I lived in Atascocita, there were vacant houses close by and used to mow their lawns just to keep snakes and such out of my yard.

You will have to be a squeaky wheel--I would start contacting the HOA every other day. Stress that it's now a safety hazard because I suspect the dogs are barking at snakes, who can certainly enter your yard. I was on the board in my village, and we finally enforced a "forced mow" for a house that had been abandoned. When the house finally sold that expense was deducted from the house price and repaid to the HOA.

Bigmaico : So their lot has stuff coming over the fence? Yikes.
It amazes me people do this, smh. But as others have said, HOA has to pressure the homeowner to fulfill his responsibility! What a mess.

Bigmaico :
Contact the HOA. They may well be working on the issue as their remedies are an involved legal process. City of Houston Health Dept. may be able to help.
