tina we have the same problem here in central texas and they can do darned well what they want to do, and there is no recourse once the wheels are in motion. my daughter lives in lytton springs, has a dale address and an austin telephone number. so go figure!!! even if you would incorporate your area, they can have it reversed in court, as this has also happened here in the area surrounding austin. the people had no say-so when austin wanted to annex them. i think it's terrible, and i would fight tooth and nail. but that's just me!!!! good luck josie
