They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door

If the American Dream is a house with a picket fence and a two-car garage, the Texas Dream is a house with a picket fence, a two-car garage and enough open space that you can do what you want without bothering your neighbor and — more importantly — without your neighbor bothering you. The problems start, though, when one of those neighbors is a real estate developer with enough land, money and sway to remake a neighborhood, igniting a debate over property rights. Just ask the residents of Redbird Lane, a narrow country road that intersects with FM 1187 a few miles east of Interstate 35W in southern Tarrant County. There, urban expansion is happening faster than some would like, leading to a complicated, if not entirely unique, situation in which homeowners believe their quality of life is eroding as development aspirations threaten to bring crowds to their doorsteps. Expansion collides with rural living in south Tarrant County The neighborhood of around 40 homes on Redbird Lane and adjacent Mockingbird Road is like a community unto itself. The houses sit on a couple of acres or more, so the area attracts the kind of person looking to escape the crush

Texas football powerhouse out of playoffs after court ruling

Just a few days ago, Argyle Liberty Christian (TX) announced that it would be seeking legal action against the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) decision to ban the Warriors from postseason play . On Tuesday, a Denton County Courthouse denied the school's request for a temporary restraining order. Charles Baggarly of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the decision was announced after several hours of deliberation. The ruling keeps Liberty Christian out of the TAPPS Division I postseason. According to Baggarly, 362nd Judicial District Court Judge Bruce McFarling ruled that TAPPS did not do anything illegal or against public policy. The ruling from McFarling came down to proper due process, not whether the athlete was coached by Griffin or if the athlete was ineligible. More: Texas high school football rankings: USA TODAY Sports Super 10, Week 13 The first round of the postseason was moved back a week to allow for changes to be made to the eight-team bracket.

Toddler wandered from Fort Worth daycare, found in middle of street: lawsuit

A toddler escaped her Fort Worth childcare center and was found alone on a busy road, according to a new lawsuit filed against BeYOUtiful Beginnings childcare center. Felisha and Travae Jones allege their 2-year-old daughter wandered from the center on a hot summer’s day in August 2025 without staff noticing. Their daughter, who is referred to as F.J. in the suit, was found by two Good Samaritans “in the middle of a high-traffic street” — Parkwood Hill Boulevard, just north of Basswood Boulevard, in far northeast Fort Worth. The lawsuit was filed in Tarrant County District Court on Thursday. The family, represented by attorney Russell Button of The Button Law Firm, is requesting monetary damages of more than $1 million and a jury trial. BeYOUtiful Beginnings did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. “A daycare lost a 2-year-old for so long that she was able to wander through (a) parking lot and alleyway completely unnoticed, go down a grassy hill, and walk into traffic, while nobody inside the daycare even knew she was missing,” Button said. “It’s Daycare 101: Don’t lose children. Working parents drop their kids off at daycare to be watched, cared for, and
