Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for the cause of freedom.


Are you crazy? TX-183 is a road called "Airport Freeway" in Irving right in front of Texas Stadium, home of the yucky Dallas Cowboys.

What was that? The Alamo? Oh. My bad.

The best view of Texas is the rear view mirror in your car when you're leaving.

The best but perhaps longest definition is "Texas", the novel by James Mitchner.

I read sections from time to time just for fun and continued amazement of the conflict creating the state. Those forces can be extrapolated and we are seeing that action today.

Texas is dynamic, not static

and we can divide our state into five states at any time if we wanted to!

And then you'd have 10 Senators wearin' cowboy boots instead of just 2. I love it in Texas. I've been here for 25 years. Why would I go anywhere else?

By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly its flag at the same height as the U.S. flag.

That's untrue, although it sounds good.

Would you care to point me to the Federal law that so states the above..... A link will be fine. Texas has a lot going for it but the petuation of myths doesn't help. Texas and any other state can fly their flag at the same height when flown side by side on adjacent staffs...

From the US Flag Code......
(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag's right.

Welcome to FR..... From where did you copy this? You failed to provide a link

You forgot they talk kinda of funny .... We were on a plane and told our young son we were going to be landing in Texas and he asked "how will I know I am in Texas" and we replied you know you are in Texas because they speak with an accent. When we landed, in his loud voice he said "Dad I don't think we are in Texas these people don't talk funny, This big Texan with Cowboy boots and big hat came up and said "Howdy son" you're right only people from out of state talk funny.
