Texas has had artillery on the Red River before, and may again.

I even recall reading about a little dust up between the two states regarding the building of a no - toll bridge. Governors of both states called out the national guard IIRC, the bridge was shut down, but it was eventually resolved peacefully.

Known in the history of Bryan County Oklahoma as the Texas/Okalhoma war.

On Arkansas land, as I am told.

“Texas has had artillery on the Red River before, and may again.”

LOL! Are you talking about the 1930’s when Gov. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray closed the OK side of the Red River to Texans because TX only charged Oklahomans a crossing fee over the bridges? The Governor had the OK National Guard on the bridges to close them down. My Mom is about 90 and has a picture of my step-dad as a teenager in the OK Guard in uniform with a Springfield rifle on a closed bridge. Next to him is a Model A with Alfalfa Bill standing and posing with his foot up on the Model A's running board.

I think I remember the name Red River Arsenal. If this would change a Texas border, wonder what Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott will do? Seems to me, he would have some authority to investigate this and take on Hussein and Holder again.
