Only gonna be about 80 here.
You forget: We 'acquired' TX from Mexico way back in the 1800's or so. I seem to remember reading about the Alamo, also. Sounds like the 'natives' have taken over again, though 'natives' isn't quite the right term. Just remembering the history lessons about Cortez, etc.
Let me guess, LBJ was 'just a nice country boy', right?
