While officials said the home is a total loss, the flames did not damage nearby property, according to the Forest Bend Fire Department:

“[The] fire started in the rear of the structure, other than that, Harris County Fire Marshall is still investigating the cause and exact origin, but it is in the rear bedroom of the structure,” Chief Tom Hoff with the Forest Bend Fire Department said in an interview.
