Anna Duggar’s sister builds new home near Josh’s Texas prison as fans speculate loyal wife & 7 kids will move close by
ANNA Duggar’s sister has built a new home near Josh’s Texas prison, as fans speculate the loyal wife and their seven children will move close by.
Josh, 34, was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison after he was found guilty of possessing and receiving child pornography in December.
The Sun can exclusively reveal Anna’s brother-in-law David and sister Priscilla have two properties up for grabs.
David and Priscilla bought .05 acres of land with a market value of $8,280 in 2020.
A single-family ranch home was built on the land, according to Realtor.
The house is a two-hour drive to Josh’s prison.

David and his wife also bought a 1,296 square-foot home in 2018 with a market value of $64,050.
The Big Sandy, Texas home features one bathroom, a front porch, carport and more.
This property is an hour and thirty minutes from the prison.
Anna and her seven children currently live in a small warehouse on Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s property.
REUNITED
Anna recently reunited with David and Priscilla, as she was photographed with her sister-in-law over the weekend.
Last week, she posted that she is going on a “road trip” to see her “bestie.”
Anna posted on her Instagram: “Officially 34. 14 years since I said, ‘Yes.’ Road-tripping to visit my bestie.
"'Even if' by Mercy Me on repeat. ‘Jesus will cling to you. Come what may.’"
Anna has stood by her husband, as she was in attendance at every court hearing.
Fans have been speculating Anna may move to Texas with her children to be closer to her husband.
One fan wrote on Reddit: “I wonder if she’s moved herself into the Waller's home in the meantime.”
A second commented: “I’m wondering if David and Priscilla Waller, who I believe live on church property since David is a pastor, will build onto their house to create more room for Anna & the kids to go there all of the time?”
JOSH'S SENTENCING
Honorable Judge Timothy L Brooks sentenced Josh to 151 months in prison on May 25.
According to The Sun's court reporter, Josh appeared stoic as he received his sentence, which also includes $50,100 in fines.
As he read his decision, the judge called Josh's crimes "the sickest of the sick" to the packed courtroom.
He then said to Josh: "You have done some very bad things. But in your life as a whole, you've done good things... The true test of a man's character is what a man does when no one is watching."
Referring to Josh's insistence that he's innocent, the judge continued: "I find it aggravating about the lack of responsibility."
Judge Brooks recommended Josh participate in the Bureau of Prison's sex offender treatment program.
In the molestation police report, Jim Bob told authorities his son was sent to a Christian counseling program where he did “manual labor and had counseling.”
When prosecutors fought for a 20-year sentence on the child pornography charges, they feared Josh would not get the proper counseling and would re-offend again.
When the judge adjourned court, Josh hugged and shook his lawyers’ hands, then he turned around and gave Anna the "I love you" hand gesture used in sign language.
