About
What Clear Council is, and is not.
Clear Council is a small civic-tech project built for residents of Katy, TX and Jonesborough, TN. It does three things: it reads HOA letters and gives you a plain-English summary; it publishes a short daily digest of local government activity; and it shows you which jurisdictions govern a given address.
We are deliberately narrow. We launched in two cities on purpose, and we will not silently extend coverage somewhere we have not vetted. We would rather show a short, neutral summary that points you at the source than try to be clever and get something wrong.
This is not legal advice. Every summary is generated by AI and links to the original public document. Always read the source before acting on a fine, hearing, or deadline.
Sources we use
- City & county agendas and minutes (Jonesborough BMA, Planning, Historic Zoning; Washington County, TN; Harris County Commissioners Court via the Legistar OData API)
- Adopted ordinances posted by the Town of Jonesborough
- Tennessee statewide legal notices (tnpublicnotice.com)
- TDEC public information on the BWXT Jonesborough facility
- Official YouTube channels with auto-generated captions
- Documents you upload yourself (HOA letters), processed locally and never stored

Open beta
We are in open beta. If a summary looks wrong, please tell us by linking to the source and describing what is missing. The fastest way to reach us is the GitHub repo for this project.
