Texas Senate Names Chuck Norris Honorary Texan
NBC DFW ^

The Texas Senate has named Chuck Norris an honorary Texan -- especially fitting for the former star of "Walker, Texas Ranger."
The actor and his wife, Gena, appeared in the chamber on Tuesday.
Norris has acted in many action and martial arts films over the decades, in addition to playing the title character in the "Walker" TV series from 1993 until 2001.
A conservative Christian, he's campaigned for some of the state's top Republicans, including with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz during his White House run last year, and with now-Gov. Greg Abbott in 2014.
For more than a decade, Norris has been the center of popular online jokes attributing superhuman strength and impossible feats to him.

When your state legislature meets once every 2 years, the elected will come with crazy stuff.
Got to get their name out there.

My favourite movie of his was 1981’s “An Eye for an Eye”. “Lone Wolf McQuade”, that he did with David Carradine, was also good.

They saw the
latest tv commercial and came to their senses. Finally.
It's lucky for them Chuck has patience, can be merciful.

Never met Chuck, but I’ve hung out with his brother Aaron many times. Terrific family all around.

Such terrible reporting. He is 77 years old, and he was born in Oklahoma, and his family moved to California when he was 12.
