The team, led by The Nature Conservacy, was working to burn out invasive brush in an effort to allow the native grasses to regrow to help preserve the prairies in Texas.

In August the apartments were about to undergo construction by Kier Property Management and she was worried she would be displaced as a result of it. Despite management’s reassurances prior to construction, she was served with eviction notice a few months later when she was unable to make rent.
