The following details were as reported and documented based on houston police department lake patrol Officer's investigation and which was entered into this reporting system by texas parks and wildlife department. 

On 4/24/2011 at about 1700 hrs., Officer riding unit 24p13 received a phone call about a boat that had capsized on lake houston near peacock point.  Officer was on the west side of lake houston, and headed east to peacock point.  Officer arrived at peacock point at about 1710 hrs., and observed the vessel capsized and all passengers on the shoreline.  Officer inquired if anyone from the boat was missing and was informed that all passengers had made it off the boat and onto land.  Crosby fire dept. Arrived at the location and found no injury to the passengers.  

Officer spoke with the operator/owner of the vessel who informed the officer that he had stopped to help the disabled pwc.  Two people were on the pwc and had climbed into his boat.  Operator said that is when the waves started coming over the sides, filling up the boat, causing the boat to flood and turn over.  Operator said everyone on the boat made it to shore.  

Officer gathered all required information for this report, towed the vessel to houston police dept. Marine unit's station on lake houston and secured it for this investigation.  Officer completed hpd offense report #052391011-v.

From Officer’s investigation it was determined that because of the vessel being over loaded (uscg capacity plate states 7 persons and 8 persons were on board a) and because of the weather conditions (high winds and rough water) the vessel took on water and became unstable, rolling over and capsizing.  However, because operator had stopped to help the disabled pwc, and was not over capacity until allowing the two passengers of the pwc to board his vessel, no citation will be issued.
