WESTLAKE — Oh my god! The Jonas Brothers are moving to North Texas? For real?

Tarrant County records indicate that members of the Jonas Brothers — the innocent brother band turned pop cult craze — granted power of attorney to their mother, Denise Jonas, for the purpose of buying a six-bedroom house in Vaquero, a gated community in Westlake. The documents were signed June 12.

The real estate agent who listed the house on Wisteria Way at more than $2.8 million confirmed Monday that it had been sold, but said the contract prohibited her from commenting further.

The publicist for the group, which began a nationwide tour last month, declined to comment.

But the whispers Monday among Westlake tweeners were that their heartthrob trio soon would appear on more than poster-covered walls and Youtube videos.

"Yeah, I heard they are moving into the area!" 9-year-old Emily Clark said with wide eyes as she jumped out of the pool at Westlake’s Solana Club. They’re coming in three months, she said certainly.

None of the adults at the fitness club or even those across the street at Westlake’s town square knew about the literal new kids on the block.

"I haven’t heard anything yet," Keller resident Shannon White said as she grabbed lunch at Weinberger’s Delicatessen. "But I will. My daughter is going to freak."

She said the 10-year-old is still fuming because she didn’t get birthday tickets to their Dallas concert earlier this month.

Even former Westlake mayor Randy Corn admitted adults had to leave the fact-finding to the experts. "All I’ve seen of the Jonas Brothers is on the shirts of all the girls at the swimming club," he said.

If the boy band does decide to return home — the eldest, Kevin, was born in Dallas although the boys grew up in New Jersey and now live in Los Angeles County — it still won’t be easy to stage a stake-out.

A high stone fence surrounds Vaquero and cars enter through manned gates. And residents on Wisteria Way are used to celebrity neighbors. Pro golfers Todd Hamilton, Ben Crane and Brandt Jobe live in the upscale community, as does major leaguer Mark Teixeira, former Cowboy Drew Bledsoe and Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Stars captain Brenden Morrow and PGA Tour player Corey Pavin own property as part of memberships at the Vaquero Club.

"This is the place to be right now," Paula Whiting, The Solana Club sales manager said.

Pro golfer Brian Watts, who lives on Wisteria, discovered he had new neighbors when he returned from a three-week playing stint in Japan.

"I didn’t even know who the Jonas Brothers were or what kind of music they played," Mr. Watts said. "But my wife and kids were enthralled. I’ve seen them from a distance and they seem like down-to-earth kids. Word spreads fast. (PGA Tour player) Bo Van Pelt texted me, saying, ‘I told my daughter that the Jonas Brothers were your neighbors. She said told me that she wants to go live with the Watts.’"

Van Gogh-style haystacks dot fields leading up to Vaquero. There’s no Starbucks for miles. Except for the anticipatory young females, this rural setting is worlds away from what the Jonas Brothers have been experiencing since Kevin, 20, Joe, 18 and Nick, 15, hit teen idol status.

They just released their third album, "A Little Bit Longer," and tour relentlessly.

Emily and the gaggle of girls who flocked to her side when they heard the words "Jonas Brothers" mentioned at Solana’s pool, just hope the boys get here soon.
