Katy Hero Inspires Christian Movie

Coming this year, on DVD, is a much touted movie, “The Heart of Texas”, starring Katy locals. Critics have given it four-stars.

About the story: When tragedy pierces the heart of a small community on the quiet Texas plains, (Katy), it’s townspeople witness what can happen when grace and forgiveness triumph over anguish and outrage.

Against the clamorous traffic of our crowded lives, a story of such tender mercy can seem more of a work of fiction or a wishful tale…yet every moment of this unbelievable story is true.

What Others are Saying:

“The Heart of Texas provides a cinematic experience that will last long after the viewing, a true tale of loss and redemption that will become a part your life.”
Ron Maxwell, Writer-Director of “Gettysburg and Gods & Generals”

“I loved this story the first time I saw it….an incredible documentary on the awesome power of God’s love that everyone needs to see.”
Chuck Norris, Actor/Producer/Author of the N.Y.Times Bestseller “Blackbelt Patriotism”

“Down through history, human beings have been wired for stories of sacrifice, courage, redemption and forgiveness. Every man, woman and child has been created with soul-strings running through their lives that reverberate with meaning and power when plucked by certain stories. The Heart of Texas is one of those stories, an unforgettable miracle that would seem almost unbelievable — if it were not 100 percent true. Don’t miss this story. Let it change your life.”

History of Cinco Ranch

Compliments of Wikipedia

The Cinco Ranch community goes back to before Texas became a Republic. In the 1820s, pioneer Moses Austin was granted by the Spanish government the authority to settle 300 families in the valleys of the Brazos and Colorado rivers. He died before he was able to accomplish this, but his son Stephen F. Austin was able to complete his father’s wishes, even under the newly established Mexican government. One of the men who moved into these 300 slots of land (each one over 4000 acres (16 km²) was Randolph Foster, whose land spread across Fort Bend and Waller counties and upon which wild horses, deer, Indians and buffalo lived.
