There is one thing in Texas that seems to be irritating a lot of people, pastures becoming subdivisions. I’ve seen it myself in my hometown of Lindale. Where my parents live off Jim Hogg Road, a new road was added in what was once a cow field and other homes have been added across the blacktop road from them in what was once open pasture. Even a huge ranch outside of Dallas is falling victim to the need for neighborhoods in open spaces.
