Southeast Houston is an area in Houston, Texas, United States. The Greater Southeast Management District (GSMD) manages a district using the name Southeast Houston. Communities within the district include the Third Ward, Texas Medical Center, Riverside Terrace, University Oaks, and Washington Terrace.[1]
History
The Texas Legislature created the Greater Southeast Management District in 2001.[2] In 2005 District 146 was removed from the GSMD boundaries. Borris Miles, the area state representative, passed House Bill 1383, which would restore the original boundaries of the district.[3]

Grocers Supply's headquarters are within the district.[4]
Government and infrastructure
The Greater Southeast Management District is headquartered in Suite 503 at 5445 Almeda Road.[5]
The Houston Police Department's South Central Patrol Division,[6] in the Third Ward,[7] serves most of the district. Portions of the district are served by the Southeast Patrol Division.[8]
Houston Fire Department Station 25 Third Ward, in Fire District 46, serves Southeast Houston.[9] The station opened at the intersection of Blodgett and Velasco in 1928 and opened in its current location at Rosewood at Scott in 1979.[10] In addition Station 33 Medical Center, a part of Fire District 21,[9] is in Southeast Houston. The original Firehouse 33 was one of the last stations to be housed in an original volunteer fire station. The original Station 33 was the city hall/fire station of Braeswood. The City of Houston annexed the area in 1950. The current Fire Station 33 opened one block from the original station in August 2004. The city relinquished its ownership of the original fire station.[11]
