Red Oak Development Group Announces Launch of Moxie, an Artful, Walkable Complete Community Taking Root in Lockhart, Texas
With phase one construction on the 589-acre development underway, Red Oak is creating a bold model of authentic, people-centric design where quality of life is the driver of success
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Red Oak Development Group, a land and real estate developer crafting complete, people-centered communities in the Texas Triangle, has announced the launch of its new 589-acre interconnected community, Moxie. Located just south of Austin in Lockhart, Texas, Moxie is envisioned as a playful and creative mixed-use community that is anticipated to include 2,500 homes upon completion along with an estimated 20% of the land dedicated to parks and open space. In phase one, Moxie will span 89 acres including approximately 413 single-family residences, along with parks, trails, and gathering spaces designed to foster connection and creativity. Construction on phase one of the infrastructure is currently underway, with model home construction to begin Fall 2025 and a grand opening slated for Spring 2026.

'More than a name, Moxie is a mindset,' said Tom Staub, founder and CEO of Red Oak. 'We set out to design a community that looks and lives differently. We believe choosing how you live is as special as where you live, and Moxie will be a place that reflects this philosophy with a bold heart, purposeful design, and a sense of belonging built in from the start, infused with an energy and liveliness that drives everything we do and build there.'

As Red Oak's flagship community and first major public launch, Moxie represents a new take on the master-planned community model, with a commitment to more than just a collection of homes, and new ways of measuring success. The design emphasizes walkability, social wellness, and everyday joy with homes, parks, and public spaces woven together to support a vibrant, multigenerational neighborhood. Among the first of these spaces is an activated park and social space - part neighborhood green, part creative hub - featuring a stage for outdoor music and movies, colorful murals, coffee and Wi-Fi, and everyday gathering spots that make it easy to meet a neighbor or work outside while the kids play. Setting the tone for future growth, Phase One will welcome residents who seek more than housing, but also a fully integrated lifestyle rooted in rhythm, character, and connection.

Longer-term plans for Moxie include a dynamic town center called The Crossing, an eclectic array of housing typologies, and cultural programming that reflects the authentic spirit of Lockhart. Among Moxie's early community initiatives is TEACH (Teacher's Economic Advancement through Community Homeownership), a social impact program co-founded by Staub aimed at helping 500 educators become homeowners by 2040 through innovative partnerships and attainable housing models.

While Moxie is grounded in Lockhart, it's also a statement about what the future of development can become. Red Oak was founded on the belief that real estate success should be measured by quality of life, not just margins. The company integrates residential, retail, civic, and green space from the start, building complete communities that elevate human experience over yield.
'We're rethinking the metrics of success,' Staub said. 'If we want to build better communities, we first have to redefine what success looks like. For us, it's about life per square foot, not just price per square foot. It's about how people feel, how they interact, and how our built and natural environments help them thrive. Moxie is our first step toward proving that new measurements of success not only exist but can also be scaled.'

Rooted in one of Texas' most unique and culturally rich cities, Moxie is shaped by and for Lockhart. Known for its BBQ, music, and historic charm, Lockhart has long drawn creatives, families, and old souls seeking something real. Moxie seeks to enhance that character and deepen what already makes Lockhart special, rather than replicating something that exists elsewhere.
Additional details about Phase One, including the builders' home collections, architectural styles, and amenity offerings, will be announced in the coming months. Future phases will build upon Moxie's layered, intentional design approach to create a truly complete community experience that evolves with the residents.

Texas lawmakers send letter to Tesla asking to delay robotaxi rollout in Austin
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A group of Texas lawmakers sent a letter to Tesla urging the company to delay its robotaxi operations in Austin. Tesla reportedly planned to launch the self-driving service on Sunday, June 22. The letter said the Texas Legislature approved a revision to the state's 2017 autonomous vehicle operations framework. It mentioned how this new law goes into effect this September. 'Under the new framework, commercial autonomous vehicle operators transporting passengers or property must receive prior authorization from the Department of Motor Vehicles before operating on public streets without a human driver,' the letter read. In order to get that authorization, an operator must demonstrate each vehicle is: Capable of operating in compliance with state traffic laws Equipped with a recording device Compliant with federal law, including federal motor vehicle safety standards Capable of achieving a minimal risk condition if the automated driving system is rendered inoperable Registered, titled, and insured under Texas law Safety concerns emerge as Tesla robotaxis prepare for launch Along with those requirements, operators have to submit a First Responder Interaction Plan to the Department of Public Safety to explain the following: How first responders interact with the autonomous vehicles How to communicate with fleet support and safely remove or tow vehicles from the roadway Any additional information regarding hazardous conditions or public safety risks associated with the vehicles 'As members of the Austin delegation in the Texas Senate and Texas House of Representatives, we are formally requesting that Tesla delay autonomous robotaxi operations until the new law takes effect on September 1, 2025. We believe this is in the best interest of both public safety and building public trust in Tesla's operations,' the letter read. Austin-based business says it will offer Tesla robotaxi rentals in 2026 The letter said if Tesla still proceeds with its plans to launch this month, they request the company responds to this letter with detailed information demonstrating that Tesla will be 'compliant with the new law upon the launch of driverless operations in Austin.' Last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk discussed plans with CNBC to launch the service in Austin. 'We want to deliberately take it slow,' Musk said. 'I mean, we could start with 1,000 [robotaxis] 10,000 on day one, but I don't think that would be prudent. So we will start with probably 10 for a week, then increase it to 20, 30, 40.' Musk himself mentioned testing already started. Just last week, he posted on X that, 'for the past several days, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y cars (no one in driver's seat) on Austin public streets with no incidents.' The service is reportedly already available for some employees. In April, Tesla's AI account posted a video on X claiming that 'supervised ride hailing service is live for an early set of employees in Austin and [the] San Francisco Bay Area.' This letter adds to another one Tesla recently received by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). US agency asks Tesla questions about its Austin 'robotaxi' plan In a letter sent to Tesla in May, the NHTSA asked the company to explain how it plans to operate safely. Questions focused on things like: Crash reporting Complying with traffic safey laws Automated responses to emergencies NHTSA asked how the robotaxis will safely operate in low-visibility, like sun glare, fog, rain or snow. Those conditions are tied to previous accidents involving the company's driver-assistance software. KXAN reached out to see if NHTSA heard back. The agency told us earlier this month that its investigation remains open and that Tesla's response must be submitted by June 19. NHTSA said any updates will be posted in the investigation file online. KXAN reached out to Tesla for comment, and we're waiting for a response. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
