Residents say ‘no,’ fight annexation

Little to no services associated with a proposed 1,400-acre unilateral annexation of land east of Kyle drew the ire of residents who are fighting a plan they feel has no benefit.

Many who oppose Kyle’s proposal Aug. 20 also fear the city is rushing an attempt to forcibly acquire land before a new state law regulating such annexations goes into effect.

According to city documents, eight parcels of land east of Interstate 35 were included in the initial unilateral, or forced, annexation proposal.
