Texas family demands answers after developer bulldozed their childhood home and built a duplex on their land

A Central Texas family is devastated and angry after their grandmother’s home was demolished without their consent, reports KVUE.

In March 2024, Robert Alexander stopped by the family property at 118 Kimble Lane in East Austin. But the house he expected to see, where he and his brothers were raised, had been bulldozed to the ground. All that remained were broken boards and lost memories.

“Everything was still inside — all of our family heirlooms. Everything was destroyed,” Robert’s brother, Kelly Alexander, told reporters.

What’s worse, the demolition happened shortly after their brother Charles, who had been living in the home, moved out due to repeated calls and letters warning of tax issues. Months later, the Alexanders discovered a new duplex foundation had been poured on the land that they own.
