  13. Hey #Texas Pocket Friends: The #RossFire is spreading fast in Palo Pinto and Jack counties. 50,000 acres are burning, it's only 12% contained, and the winds are picking up, 20mph constant from the SW, with gusts expected up to 40 mph. It's hot, it's dry, it's drought and everything, and I mean everything is likely to catch on fire. It's been months since we've had measurable rain, and the grasslands are dry tinder.

    If you are in the area, please keep your emergency alert system up. Get a bugout bag ready. Passports, important documents, pet carriers. Cell phones charged. Battery bank.

    An evacuation center has been set up at Twin Lake Recreation Center on Highway 59 in Jacksboro.

    The Graham Livestock Commission is offering temporary space for #livestock displaced by the wildfire at the Old Mineral Wells Sale Barn at 2805 North Oak Ave.

  14. From @josephinelee: The costs rack up quickly when #Texas takes over a school district, and there's no financial assistance for locals. The state chooses new leadership (and their salary), then forces districts into costly buyouts on previous superintendents' contracts. texasobserver.org/the-takeover

  25. New at The Barbed Wire: Eight years ago, a moment of humor shared between two women blossomed into a movement for weirdos in North #Texas.

    In 2018, Haley Ballenger had just moved to Fort Worth from Houston, where her husband had family ties and deep roots but she didn’t know anyone. Casting about for a new social circle, the mother of two joined a book club and hit it off with another mom there like herself.

    “We were joking one night,” Ballenger recalled. “Yeah, we're not regular moms, we're cool moms. We were like, yeah, we've got piercings and we've got tattoos and we say bad words. We're not even cool moms, we're weird moms – and it just stuck, right?”

    Today, the Fort Worth Weird Moms Club group on Facebook has over 3,000 members, and Ballenger (and her team of volunteer administrators and moderators) have created a space where oddballs, iconoclasts and outcasts can build community ties with one another, and exercise their voices on the political stage. Every member gets to be a “Weird Mom” or just a “Weirdo” regardless of their gender. The Weird Moms host multiple events a year, including the highly anticipated annual ‘Weird Mom Prom’ and a youth Pride Prom, and they’ve just become a formal nonprofit with big plans for the future.

  29. Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Town Homes Carrollton, Texas

    As an experienced Realtor, I can tell you that the townhome market in Carrollton, TX during October 2025 continued to appeal strongly to buyers who want the convenience of low-maintenance living without sacrificing the feel of a residential neighborhood. Townhomes in Carrollton offer a blend of modern design, functional layouts, and community amenities that attract both first-time buyers and those looking to downsize. Buyers this fall found a market shaped by steady builder activity, thoughtful neighborhood planning, and a demand for homes that provide an easier lifestyle with quick access to major employers, shopping, parks, and entertainment. For you as a potential buyer, this means options that balance comfort, style, and value—while still giving you the sense of “home” that many seek beyond traditional condo living. The atmosphere of the market this season felt confident and balanced, making it a strong time to explore opportunities and secure a property that fits both your lifestyle and long-term goals.

  30. Want To Know More About Denton, Texas?

    Denton, Texas, established in 1857 as the seat of Denton County in north-central Texas, emerged from the Peters Colony land grant of 1841, which spurred Anglo settlement amid frontier ranching and subsistence farming on vast prairies once grazed by figures like John S. Chisum. Named for frontiersman John B. Denton, killed in a 1841 skirmish, the city grew modestly post-Civil War—readmitted to the Union in 1870 with just 361 residents—before rail connections in 1881 doubled its population to over 2,500 by 1890, fostering trade and agriculture. By the early 20th century, educational institutions defined its identity: the University of North Texas (1890), Texas Woman’s University (1901), and North Central Texas College (1924), transforming Denton into a vibrant college town 35 miles northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth, with over 50,000 students enriching its cultural scene through music festivals, the annual North Texas State Fair and Rodeo since 1928, and the longest-running documentary film festival in Texas. Today, as of October 2025, Denton’s population exceeds 150,000, bolstered by suburban expansion in the DFW metroplex; its economy thrives on education, manufacturing (home to Peterbilt Motors and Jostens), and emerging tech, including a new 200,000-square-foot STULZ Air Technology plant opening late this year to add 200 jobs. The revitalized downtown square, anchored by the historic 1896 courthouse-museum, blends preserved Victorian architecture with eclectic shops, restaurants, and events like the Holiday Lighting Festival, while regional coordination via the North Central Texas Council of Governments addresses growth challenges; politically, the once solidly Republican city has trended more competitive with demographic diversification.

  31. Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Denton, Texas

    The single-family housing market in Denton, TX, as we navigate September 2025, is in a fascinating period of adjustment, moving from what was once an aggressively competitive environment to a much more measured and balanced one. This shift is a direct result of several economic factors working in concert.

    For potential homeowners, the key takeaway is the increase in available inventory. This means the field of choice is significantly wider, reducing the urgency that fueled rapid, all-cash offers in the past. Concurrently, the time homes are spending on the market has notably extended. This longer sales cycle benefits buyers by allowing them the necessary time for thorough due diligence, inspections, and thoughtful financial planning, rather than making pressurized decisions.

    Furthermore, price adjustments are becoming a common feature of the market. While home values have shown some year-over-year softening, this stabilization is a healthy market correction that makes homeownership more accessible. The negotiation playing field has leveled, meaning buyers are gaining leverage and sellers are demonstrating greater willingness to work on price and offer concessions to finalize a sale.

    The positive news for sellers is that Denton continues to be a highly desirable location, evidenced by a noticeable increase in the overall number of closed sales compared to last year. Even with market adjustments, this sustained transaction volume highlights strong, underlying demand. Sellers who partner with an informed agent and price their homes strategically are successfully attracting buyers and achieving their desired outcome. This is a robust market that is simply returning to a more sustainable, rational pace.
