I'm from Texas and a distant cousin with the same surname died at the Alamo.

Before Texas became a state, Mexicans were still invading and the Comanches were still rampaging. Even the Germans were plotting to take over Texas. During the Civil War, the comanches pushed back the frontier 100-150 miles. It was the FEDERAL army that stopped the Comanches after the Civil War.

Not sure Texas could handle things even now considering the types of ignorant yahoos we have here. Yes, the western half of it is a jackalope wildlife refuge.

Before Texas became a state it WAS Mexico! DIMWIT!And it was France,and Spain,and Confederate States of America,And the nation known as TEXAS.GO READ YOUR HISTORY!



He can't. Along with civics, in Texas, Texas history is no longer taught. You should see the one line they gave it in my son's text book.
