Alliance Residential is constructing Broadstone Gosling Oaks, a new apartment community, as the first residential portion of Newman Commercial Real Estate’s Gosling Oaks mixed-use development project, according to an Aug. 24 news release.

The housing development will occupy 14.64 acres of the 50-plus-acre Gosling Oaks development on the southwest corner of Gosling and West Rayford roads, according to a news release from Newman CRE.

Zooming in: Alliance acquired the multi-family parcel from Newman CRE and is developing Broadstone Gosling Oaks independently. The community will feature close proximity to the retail and restaurants part of the larger mixed-use development in addition to walkable green spaces and relocated live oaks.

Candidates Stan Stanart and Stefanie Bord are set to face each other in the November general election for Texas House District 126.

What you need to know: District 126 covers parts of Harris County, including Cypress, Spring, Fairbanks and Jersey Village, according to a map of the district.

With incumbent Rep. Sam Harless, R-Spring, announcing his retirement at the end of his term in 2027, three Republican and two Democratic candidates faced off in the March primary elections.

Stan Stanart secured the Republican nomination for the seat, while Stefanie Bord won the Democratic nomination; now the two will face each other on Nov. 3.

The Texas Department of Insurance must take action to promote competition and “prohibit excessive or unfairly discriminatory rate setting" in the state's homeowners insurance market, Gov. Greg Abbott said Aug. 24.

The background: Texans are paying the fourth-highest home insurance premiums in the nation, Community Impact previously reported. State data shows that the average Texas home insurance premium nearly doubled from $1,791 in 2016 to $3,506 in 2025.

The details: Abbott asked the TDI to prohibit insurers from using the age of a home and homeowners' personal data when setting rates; create a task force targeting insurance fraud; study the impact of inflated insurance claims; and require insurers to consider a homeowner's participation in a roof fortification program when writing policies.

Another perspective: "Under Greg Abbott, Texas has been one of the most expensive states in the country to own and maintain a home," Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic candidate for Texas governor, said in a statement. "If Abbott really wanted to lower costs, he would have done it in the last 12 years."
