"Texas Legislature's Stance on Colony Ridge Development Revealed"

Despite being named a top state priority by Governor Greg Abbott, no major bills addressing the Colony Ridge subdivision have been filed or debated in the Texas Legislature's special session. Local officials refuted claims made by right-wing media and Republican elected officials that the subdivision had become too dangerous for law enforcement and overwhelmed local government resources. The CEO of the housing development testified that Colony Ridge offers affordable housing to residents, including immigrants, who otherwise would not be able to purchase a home. The issue has divided Republicans, with clashes between the establishment and hard-right factions. The governor's stance on Colony Ridge remains unclear.
