Here's a bit of Texas trivia for y'all . . .

There have been four men bestowed with the honor of being designated an Official State Hero of Texas. The first three are Stephen Austin, Davy Crockett and Sam Houston. Who was the fourth?

(No cheating on this one by doing an internet search! LOL.)

Going with Audie Murphy on this one.

IIRC, the Texas state capital is the tallest capital building of any in the US (including the Fed).
