A location which deserves to be acknowledged ( unfortunately it is long gone ) is in downtown Round Rock, behind the last bank Sam Bass robbed. It was a small frame building, covered with corrugated sheet metal, only external sign was ( I think ) "Tavern", perhaps with the Tejano owner's name. My father-in-law took me in there once ( approx 1972-73, about 1-2 years after his daughter & I were married ) for a quick beer-but really more for the only funny thing I ever saw him do, for my benefit. My very Texan, Germanic father-in-law ( Ray Lee Whisenant ) was devoid of humor, a graduate of Patton's Third Army Air Corps, looked like John Wayne ( really a bit more attractive & threatening ) & looked, to me, to be approx 8 feet tall & 4 feet wide. He smiled though, when I spotted the notice on the wall-"NO WOMEN"!!!! The tavern owner had long ago discovered the secret to a peaceful bar was simple & painless. I would pay cash money for a photo of the sign.

*LOL* It would have negated the effectiveness of the sign if had taken a picture of it. I think you'll have to ask the men if they've seen it.
You were very brave to marry that man's daughter. Or in love.
