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

‘Something's wrong': Tarrant Republicans demand change in party leadership

An open letter from several Tarrant County Republicans demands new leadership at the helm of the county party after voters swept Democrats into office in last week’s midterm. Democrats won all of the statewide and countywide races in Tarrant County, deserting its title of the largest red county in the nation. The letter says Tarrant County voters still believe in conservative policies but made it clear they were done with the Republican Party taking them for granted. Organized by former Southlake Mayor John Huffman, the letter was signed by 16 Republicans , most of whom have served as mayors, representatives, school board members and precinct chairs. Other Republicans who believe in the sentiments are welcome to sign on too, Huffman said. Notably missing from the list are Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker. Neither responded to the Star-Telegram’s requests for comment. By electing Democrats from top to bottom, voters said they were not pleased with the Republicans’ performance in office, commitment to kitchen table issues and divisive party culture. “When a lifelong Republican does not feel welcome in their own party, because I fought for my school district, something’s wrong there,” said co-signer Chelsea Kelly,

Development brings 199 homes to rural Tarrant County road. Here's what to know

Residents along Redbird Lane in southern Tarrant County moved to the area for its open space and country quiet. Now a 199-home Pulte development is being built next door after the city of Fort Worth annexed that land, and neighbors worry about traffic, flooding and what comes next on the remaining acres. FULL STORY: They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door Here are key takeaways: In 2021, Parks of Village Creek, LLC — tied to Fort Worth-based James R. Harris Partners — bought roughly 100 acres of pastureland at the intersection of FM 1187 and Redbird Lane a few miles east of Interstate 35W and signed a pre-annexation agreement with Fort Worth. Pulte purchased 60-plus acres and is now building a 199-home community there. Susan Schaumburg, whose property is nearby, said FM 1187 is already congested enough, and the expected increase in traffic from the new development will only worsen that. There’s also the worry that traffic will increase on Redbird Lane, which is barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass. Chad Brantley, who lives across from the Pulte site, told the Fort Worth Zoning Commission and City Council that Pulte’s rezoning application wrongly

Ex-TCU head coach who influenced modern football offenses has died

He coached at TCU during an impossible time, and his record is forgettable, but F.A. Dry has a distinctive place in the history of a program in an effort to end its worst era, and his fingerprints still exist in modern offenses. Dry, who coached at TCU from 1977 to ‘82, died on Wednesday in Fort Worth. He was 95. “He hung on for us for as long as he could because we weren’t ready to let him go,” said his son, Mike, who played football at TCU for his dad. Dry’s record at TCU was 12-51-3, and his best season was his last when the team finished 3-8. Dry arrived at TCU after a successful run at Tulsa, where he won four consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles as head coach, and was eventually enshrined in the school’s Hall of Fame. F.A. Dry’s time at TCU At TCU, Dry experienced what the majority of TCU football coaches did in that era when he discovered competing against Texas, Texas A&M, SMU and Arkansas in the Southwest Conference was an overwhelming task. “F.A. Dry didn’t get the credit he deserves for what he did for the football program at TCU,” said John

People are calling this new Mexican spot a Chipotle alternative

Does Chipotle make their own tortillas? Pocho’s Mexican Grill stirred up quite the buzz across social media as an authentic Mexican alternative for the national chain. The new restaurant off 730 N. Sylvania Ave. smells of the scratch-made fresh corn tortillas when you walk in. Guests get in line to build their own tacos, burritos and bowls from an assembly line style ordering format. It’s Fort Worth native Josh Duran’s first restaurant with his family, he told the Star-Telegram. Since opening in late September, word has spread quickly as the restaurant almost had a line out the door during a November Tuesday lunch hour. There are a few things to know before you go. Pocho’s large portions If you order a burrito or bowl from Pocho’s, the portion is large enough to split between two. Or have leftovers. Priced between $13 and $15, you’re practically getting two meals. The $3 to $4 tacos are made with their house-made corn tortillas, which are about four to five inches wide. For those who aren’t starving, tacos would be the best option. There is both Mexican and white rice. Black and pinto beans. And then skirt steak, chicken and braised pork carnitas as

Fort Worth city leaders' travel took them around the world. Here's the bill.

Fort Worth City Council members and Mayor Mattie Parker collectively recorded more than $100,000 in travel spending for city business between Oct. 1 2024, and August 2026, including a trip to President Donald Trump’s inauguration, plus trips to Indonesia and Japan. Travel expenses for Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and the city’s current council members — plus previous members Gyna Bivens, Jared Williams, and Alan Blaylock — were obtained by the Star-Telegram through a public records request. Any reimbursements for trips, cancelled trips, or other changes in past spending that was added to spending reports after the data was received is not reflected. These spending records also include trips to professional conferences and trainings that council members attended. Here’s what to know about what Fort Worth’s leaders spent on travel as the city navigated a $94 million budget gap ahead of passing a $3.33 billion budget, and how the city governs traveling on the taxpayer’s dime. Who spent the most – and the least The highest spender out of the mayor and City Council members was council member Michael Crain, who recorded more than $36,000 in travel expenses. Crain traveled to trainings and workshops in several cities, including trips to
