That's a longstanding rumor that's been going around.
Anything is possible, I suppose, but I have it on very good authority--someone very, very close to the Morse family, so close that a major street in TV carries his family name--that there's no "Villages Texas" on anyone's mind. If there was to be another Villages in Texas, this person would almost certainly be involved.
He says that neither he or the family is going anywhere. The family has enough commercial buildout, lease-up and property management to last for a decade or more. On top of that, many of the family own substantial amounts of land in and around central Florida which is and will be developed, both for residential and commercial projects. On the scale of The Villages? No. But building shopping centers and home development is plenty to keep the current generation of the family and other participants quite busy for a long time.
I would say that the only upcoming worry, if there really is one, is what the next generation of Morses like to do. That would be Harold Schwartz's great grandchildren.
