Come on over! Best place I have ever lived. I'm on the South Texas coast and every day is like a vacation to the shore.

Not sure about "Pope" status, but if you can't get "happy" in Texas, well, you're deceased.

Can someone post some pro Prop 2 links for Texans? This needs to pass big time...to let the homo activists see that the pro marriage folks are serious. Every half-way conservative Texan needs to vote on this!!!!!
