The group known for spearheading The Domain has partnered with Robinson Family Management to develop more than 1,200 acres in North Austin.

The overview: The Robinson family and Endeavor Real Estate Group announced June 24 a partnership to develop two portions of the 6,400-acre ranch that spreads from North Austin and into Round Rock.

Bryce Miller, co-founder and managing principal of Endeavor, said in a news release that properties like the Robinson Ranch are rare.

The ranch, sprawling throughout an area in North Austin and at the crossroads for SH 45 and MoPac, has been owned and operated by the Robinson family for six generations.

Going forward: It is unclear what the property will shape into, although Endeavor and the family plan to analyze the area’s transportation, utility and other infrastructure along with the property’s unique role in the Central Texas area. According to the release, over the coming months the partnership will include research, analysis, stakeholder engagement and coordination with regional partners.

Danelle Houck, the executive director of the Williamson Museum, sat down with Community Impact to discuss the history of the museum ahead of its move from the farmer’s bank into the historic courthouse just across the Georgetown Square.

What do you do in your role as executive director?

My job is really to tell the stories [and] to support the staff—everything from what they need [for] exhibits to talking to different cities [about] how we can help tell their history, making sure it's all preserved.

That's what's really fun is being able to tell history in a way that's accessible and fun and engaging, but also reflects our county.

What are your goals for the museum?

We want to make history fun. Like it's not your just boring history class, right? If it's not behind a case, we want people to touch and interact with it.

Austin will strip markings from several roadways in response to state and federal safety directives, ending months of local planning and opposition to mandates.

A national transportation safety program launched in 2025 led Texas officials to mandate the removal of all roadway markings deemed to be potentially distracting and unrelated to traffic control. Cities and counties that didn't comply risked losing significant funding and mobility partnerships, prompting Austin to begin a local compliance process that includes prominent installations like rainbow painted crosswalks downtown and a roadway mural dedicated to Black artists in East Austin. 

A city review found crashes around more than a dozen targeted roadways weren't impacted by street art or paintings, and sought exemptions from the state process. However, the city learned this spring that no exceptions would be made and all markings will now be stripped this summer.

City leaders had also convened a resident-led task force to propose alternative installations at the identified locations, a process that is continuing after public celebrations at those places in June.
