Investigators say several leads brought them to the 200 block of Barton Bend Road, where they executed a search warrant. While detectives were at the address, a vehicle pulled up with stolen property from unreported crimes in Austin that had just taken place.
More than $20,000 in stolen property was recovered from multiple burglaries in Hays and Travis counties. The seven arrested following a two-day search of the property included those believed to be behind the burglaries as well as people on the property who had active arrest warrants.

Think white trash, river rats, lake trash, pulpwood haulers, trailer trash, or any other derogatory term you would like for poorly educated, low income white people.
The area west of Austin is full of cedar trees and rocks. In order to build on property full of cedar trees, someone has got to go in there and chop all those trees done. Hence the term Cedar Chopper.
It is also a tongue-in-cheek term used to describe people who live in the Austin suburb of Cedar Park.

An anthropological reference largely confined to Central Texas. Cedar choppers were itinerant workers who lived in camps near the cedar brakes in the Texas Hill Country during the early 20th century, carving out an existence by harvesting cedar (actually juniper) using hand tools. They were generally poor, uneducated and lacking in social grace. When they weren't living in the work camps, they were often guests of the local county jail. As a group, they were considered to be a lowly caste by city dwellers in Austin.
Urban Dictionary: Cedar chopper.
