In the 1990s the community was no longer listed on county highway maps. An abandoned railroad was located at that site during that decade. [1]

On Wednesday September 19, 1990, the Houston City Council approved a measure to spend $907 United States dollars per month to establish a police storefront in Jeanetta. The real estate company of the complex including the storefront charged the city an annual rate of $1 per month. Christian Hartung, a representative whose district included Jeanetta, said that area residents were "afraid to go out after dark." [2]
