DONT LIVE IN THIS TOWN 0.5 rating By thehouseofbobby ( Jan 14, 2015) This town is part of Denton County do not live in any town that are part of this county. If you want to live in a town that keeps letting "racial discrimination "lawyers Practice law in the same county http://www.dentonrc.com/local-news/local-news-headlines/20120625-district-atto ...Read More rney-fires-4-prosecutors.ece . there is no money in this county they have spent it as they get it. but to what no one know and if you try to ask they will just make you go in a marry-go-round. I have an Autism child I went to the county and town to get my child tested for school even after a doctor Said That my child has Autism. they made some B.S. that my child has no Autism. And I found out why they said this.It's because, the good old USA will not give the school money for a Disable child and the county and the colony dont what to loss money.they will have to pay for programs for disable children. they only make money for every child that is in school. I seen cops pulling over people under false Pretenses in the colony and in the county.We just moved to Plano Sold the home in the colony. love it less stress. the school are awesome. they understand my child needs. cops are not D*&k heads. at least i know were my taxes are going too. Dont live in this county. Pay a little more for a home in another county its worth it. Read Less
