Last time, I don't think we had more than half a dozen people who were real refugees. We had more Texas National Guard here than flood victims. Now, it looks like we're going to have almost 200 by tonight.

Bob Randall

If you're president of Texas Instruments and you go into your board of directors and say, 'Next year, we're just going to keep our market share,' you're out, you're fired. Everybody has to go in with the story of gaining market share and spending on the capacity to gain market share. Of course, it all just doesn't add up.

Bill Mcclean

It was excellent. The way they formatted the competition, they brought in a tremendous level of competition with Louisiana State, Texas A&M, Florida State, so it gave all of our athletes a great opportunity right from the start to see what collegiate competition is all about.

Fred Harvey

If there's one place that I could put my finger on and say what's the No. 1 place that if a rogue aircraft came in and you had trouble it would really have a huge amount of trouble, it would have to be Houston, Texas. Boy, that could just bring America to its knees, almost.

James Hansen

It's not that dramatic to go from the 4-3 to the 3-4. You're just taking out a lineman and putting in another linebacker. I played three of my four years at Texas A&M on the outside, so I'm fine. We've got a lot of versatility on this defense. You can't really call our defense a 3-4 or a 4-3. It's both.

Ty Warren

Playing quality schools like Alabama and South Florida are always good to have on a schedule playing-wise. Conference games are definitely the most important. Stephen F. Austin and Texas State are some of the standout games, and we want to play them hard to garner the respect of the other top tier teams in the conference.

Cindy Piper

You have circumstances like the University of Houston and Texas Southern University, which are virtually across the street from each other. And they've got two separate law schools. Obviously, that's a legacy of a different time. So as we go into the future, does that kind of model make sense?

Raymund Paredes

This year's crop of North Texas ODP players boasts some of the best youth talent in the country. They have a number of Regional and National Team players on that squad. It should be a very good match for our team.

Michael Watts

Philippe Lopez

I'm looking at Texas' athletes. Texas has a great football team. They'll do quite well, I believe.

There's nothing in the bill to restore coastal areas in those states.

Frank Jackalone

Vince is everything you look for in a quarterback. We're looking forward to playing Texas. Were they to play the national championship game today, (Texas would) be in it. The biggest thing we're looking for is how much we can improve this week. That will be the key to this football team. We are committed through the whole season.

Ken Hatfield

I'm just real happy for him. Coach Brown did a great job here at Carolina. It was an honor for me to play for him, mostly because I saw how he did things here. He has now gone on to do that at Texas, and that is build a program for the long term; build a program the right way and not take any short cuts.

Harvey Kronberg

The members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles are fully aware of the responsibility we have in rendering our votes as part of the executive clemency review process. I can say, unequivocally, that the board's decision not to recommend clemency was reached after a complete and unbiased review of the petition and evidence submitted.

Gerald Garrett

I love it [Practicing in Texas]. You can find anything. You can practice rain, you can practice wind, you can practice on hard pan, you can practice on lush gold courses, you can find all the conditions you will ever encounter in Texas.

Tom Kite

I think the idea that Texas is going to somehow suffer because it's not becoming like Massachusetts is silly. Texas is attractive for many people for the reason that it is not like Northeastern states. Those kind of traditional moral beliefs that provide children with both a mom and a dad are the reason that people are attracted to Texas. If you destroy that image, it would hurt Texas.

Kelly Shackelford

Most came from Texas, but about 150 cyclists from across the world also signed up. They come to us from everywhere - from Trinidad and Australia to England, Scotland and all points in between.

James Black

[While most drivers in the NASCAR Grand National Division, West Series have never seen the 3/8-mile D-shaped track in Kyle, Texas - Lewis was a regular competitor there when he was growing up in Dallas.] I'm definitely excited to get to go run down there, ... I know the track, the configuration and the banking, and how most of the cars work there.

Andrew Lewis

We've been telling people for months now to stay away from the primary and save yourself for Kinky. We realize it's absurd to tell people in Texas not to vote, but the two-party system has left us with no choice.

Laura Stromberg

Texas Tech is a very talented team. We will have to play extremely well to win, but I don't think intimidation will be a factor. It is an honor and a challenge at the same time to play a team like Tech.

James Ferguson

The choice of Texas for the meeting is symbolic. Lost in the focus on the federal legislation are the brutal state-by-state battles being waged for this research.

Bernard Siegel

All the power people and state troopers have told us that Silsbee was the hardest-hit town in southeast Texas and we had nothing. There was no medicine, no FEMA, no Red Cross -- nobody.

David P. Norton

We cannot consolidate our Texas schools. You cannot consolidate Houston I.S.D. with Klein I.S.D. You try and do that, they whole thing will fall apart.

Patricia Harless

Not only did he do that and win a national championship in the process at Texas Western, he became an institution in El Paso. He was never lured by NBA or big-school NCAA money. He felt his job and his integrity were dependent on doing good by his school and town, the same role he had when he arrived there.

Josh Lucas

Commercial Texas helped us find the right space for our launch and ongoing expansion. We had several specific needs and appreciated their strategic understanding of the market.

Bob Brewer

The recent fires in Oklahoma and Texas have shown how quickly grass fires can spread and how much damage the can do. We don't want to have a situation like that here.

Reghan Cloudman

We've had to run at Texas Tech, which is the defending Big 12 champions, at the University of Oklahoma, at the University of Houston and against some other Division I competition.

Pat Knight

Everybody needs to be made aware that we have our heroes they serve from each and every community here in south Texas as well as throughout the U.S. and we pray that another soldier just doesn't die.

Felix Rodriguez

Cat is definitely a great pitcher. I think in the Big 12 there's a lot of great teams. (Texas) is not even favored to win the Big 12 Conference.

Stacy Gemeinhardt

They are starting to come in from parts of Louisiana and Texas. These supplies couldn't have come at a better time. I'm really, really happy. This gesture is just so overwhelming -- it really is.

Annette Johnson

He's the Texas League champion. The first part of the season he was trying to kill everything because he's a big, strong kid. I told him to just try and put the ball in play and see what happens and he and Nick Cook have done a wonderful job for us in right field.

Cliff Toney

Amy Bell

Higher fences and more security guards aren't going to be enough to stop a deliberate or accidental release of dangerous chemicals. Texas has the most to gain and the most to lose.

Luke Metzger

It's time to get off USC. I think Texas is going to be the play. The spread is all perception. I like Texas to win outright, in a game not as high scoring as people expect.

Soren Petro

Sustained job growth speaks well for Texas employers and the Texas economy.

Ron Lehman

I am pleased to have Jason join our sales team and help us further grow our presence in the state. His extensive background and knowledge of the health care benefit needs of Texas companies strengthens the counsel, service and support we can bring to employers in the market.

David Toomey

[The jury awarded plaintiff Carol Ernst $243 million, though Texas law prevents her from collecting damages that high.] When the dust settles there will be $26.3 million at 10 percent interest annually, ... I'm not sure Ms. Ernst will see any of that for the next five years.

Mark Lanier

Many communities, faith-based entities and the state of Texas have drained assets to save lives and help with the enormous multi-state national emergency, and they will need reimbursement to avoid massive financial failures.

John Brewer

We're going to do our best to help meet these kids' educational needs while they're here in Texas. We want them to feel like they're a part of the Lufkin Panther family.

Cynthia Mckinney

Interest in paddling is on the increase. Word is getting out about Texas rivers. The paddling trail program is a great way to make places more accessible and attractive to people. This first paddling trail is just the beginning.

Bob Spain

If our elected officials in Texas want to impose harsh penalties for the use of marijuana, that is their decision, but the university does not have to pile on.

Judie Niskala

At this food bank, 75 percent of our participation and giving base are from various religious groups. People of faith have at their heart the caring for the hungry. I've gotten excited as it all seems to be making more sense to me. We can do this. We can end hunger in East Texas.

Robert Bush

I was going to go I think to the Kansas vs. Texas game, but I don't know. My head coach and AAU coach need to work that out.

This year we have two foursomes playing from different states. We have people vacationing from Texas and Arizona who are playing and we also have a lot of Incline locals who help support all of our fundraisers.

Texas needs to be more experimental in its efforts to improve coverage for the uninsured.

Michael Mckinney

In a couple of weeks, we are one company, one retail bank in Texas.

You know, there are a lot of would-be governors of Texas sitting around today who never took the opportunity to get into a race when the time was right.

Laura Bush

Jim Slaughter

We are working to obtain documents from her tenure as the Dallas Bar Association president and the Texas state bar association president.

Dana Perino

I got interested in the 8th Texas when I learned there was a captain with my name in the unit. We've all learned so much just by being here, listening and acting.

Tom Hewitt

That was the beginning of a pretty significant trend in Texas that moved away from the state being a good place for class actions.

Jerry Clements

They come as far as West Virginia, and I've received phone calls from Texas.

Pat Wilders

The fact that Democrat leaders in Texas and nationally are attempting to use the criminal-justice system to achieve the political victories that they failed to win at the ballot box makes them no better than Third World despots who impose their political will by jailing their opponents.

James Ellis

They were pretty open with me. These folks came in sure that because they are poor and black, they would be treated as second-class citizens. And they've had their eyes opened, ... They now tell me they can't believe how nice everyone treats them – even the police. They're saying they now want to stay in Texas.

David J. Moore

In Texas, private landowners have invited the group onto a lot of areas. The last count I heard was 2 million acres of property we've been asked to patrol. The owners have contacted us in some manner or another and said they're interested in having patrols.

Connie Hair

Texas functions best when public officials recognize that government does not belong to them but to the people.

Greg Abbott

There is so much competition from 52 schools (in Class AA) and four people go into each event. There are 220 girls and that is a lot of competitors. We have the largest swimming district in the United States and that includes Florida, Texas and California.

Mike Schneiderlochner

He gave me the opportunity to go. That was the first bowl game I had ever been to, and as far as I'm concerned, it was the best Texas game ever.

Orlando Garcia

Companies send teams from Utah and Texas to look for antlers because they're in high demand for furniture, chandeliers and jewelry. They pay up to $18 a pound for antlers.

Joe Lewandowski

This is just the beginning. There are several million tons in the general vicinity (of East Texas).

Joe Murray

The Luna Energy Facility provides an extremely cost-effective and environmentally responsible resource to help implement our wholesale generation growth strategy. Our goals are to continue executing long-term sales backed by merchant facilities in the Southwest and Texas.

Hugh Smith

It's opened to all foundations. That's why it's such a little amount and with Texarkana, because we sit on the state line, some of our agencies can't have the opportunity to be in the state campaign because they're not on the Texas side.

Mary Wormington

The thing that's so amazing is to see things that are so unnatural in snow. We've all seen snow, somewhat, but to see it around a sailboat, or on the beach ... It's just so unnatural, yet so pristine. It's Texas like you've never seen.

Kathryn Childers

I don't believe the Texas Medical Center has prospered by carving out a single health problem for a single institution. We think competition has helped it become world-renowned.

Andy Icken

Texas Genco is an ideal strategic fit with NRG. The strengths of its people and its assets align closely with our own, bolstering NRG's platform for growth and our ability to drive value for our shareholders.

David Crane

I think I figured it out, ... All teams that start with T give me trouble. Tampa, Toronto, Texas. But in all honesty, it's the way it goes. The balls I threw on the corners they hit and the ones over the middle they crushed. It's just one of those nights.

Paul Byrd

The entire purpose of this tour is to put local Texas officials coping with hurricane recovery and damage face to face with the secretary who will be making the decisions on where those precious dollars end up.

Sarah Stephens

With the road games that we have had, especially playing at Texas, we know the magnitude that it's going to be and we just have to make sure we pull together as a team. It's something that, when you have thousands of fans screaming against you, that the 11 or 12 of us need to pull together. We are going to show that we will come together and be a wall to have to deal with.

Shalee Lehning

Our mission will be to protect this area as a natural region and protect the spring flow of this vital resource here in the Texas Hill Country.

Patrick Cox

This one may well have been painted in Mexico, when Austin was there in 1823 getting his first land grant confirmed. There would have been artists of that caliber working in Mexico. But it could have been painted in St. Louis or New Orleans before he came to Texas.

Gregg Cantrell

I am still amazed, as we are in season and it is difficult for any coach in Texas to receive this honor if you are not at the (NSCAA) convention. The honor really belongs to all the great kids who play for Klein, the administration and the community.

Allen Baker

I think it speaks volumes how lost the Democratic Party has become in Texas and how dispirited Democrats have become.

Dean Barkley

He is extremely unique and it's really cool to have him on the team. He comes from Texas and definitely lets us know that, especially after they beat my team, USC.

Travis Niesen

Since its enactment, insurance premiums in Texas have risen at less than half the national average.

Jim Turner

We have gotten off to an incredible start this season. Everyone has been playing great tennis, especially against the top teams in the country like Duke and Texas. But rankings don't mean anything if you're not playing great tennis. If you're having an off day, any team you play will take advantage.

Kelly Nelson

I take this game personally. I was on the sidelines last year (in Texas' 38-37 Rose Bowl victory against Michigan). I had tears in my eyes. I wanted to be a part of it so bad.

Selvin Young

FEMA is still busing people toward Texas because we are not at capacity yet. The governor has said we're getting close to capacity, but that is less about numbers and more about management.

Robert Black

Throughout Texas there's been some concern about retaining great scientists. I just think we're always at risk of losing people to the coasts.

Jennifer West

Texas, in particular, has many great challenges and there is a severe need for beds for adolescents. People are beginning to recognize the value of mental health treatment and therefore they are beginning to access treatment more.

Tim Simmons

If we don't take care of business this week, the Texas game won't matter.

Cody Hodges

Analog Devices ( ADI : Research , Estimates ) is like the junior Texas Instrument. Secondary position there, very good analog perspective and a lot of things related to the Internet and cellular phone, good well managed company.

Jack Geraghty

I don't know if we can guard Texas Tech for 40 minutes man-to-man. We were tired. Zone was good to us tonight.

Berrick Barnes

When you live in Texas, every single time you see snow it's magical.

Pamela Ribon

Whenever I was little, like most people, I had imaginary friends, ... And I grew up in Center, Texas, in Shelby County, so there wasn't a lot to do.

Thomas Mcdaniel

Part of what I've found is that people who can think creatively and can do this kind of work need a tolerant environment, ... Texas will wind up looking un-American, intolerant and very foolish.

Mary Mason

This year's NRMCA Award is another outstanding example of our management team's commitment to raise the environmental standards at CEMEX. The Navigation facility is our highest production plant in Texas, and is surrounded by water, which makes this award that much more significant in light of the technical challenges continuously confronted at this site. We are very proud of our team.

Steve Wise

When they say plants are closing, they're going elsewhere. And it's not just China; it's Tennessee, Texas, more business-friendly states.

Vince Green

We've shut everything down. We evacuated all our workers from the offshore platforms in the Gulf, shutting in production. We have shut down operations at our Texas City refinery.

David Nicholas

Thanks to the governor and many others working late into the night locating existing space in shelters and FEMA flying evacuees out, it appears we were able to locate shelters for the evacuees destined for tents at Camp Minden, ... Humane considerations, 102 degree temperatures and a possibility of 30 rain over northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana all drove efforts to find other sites.

Robert Adley

Without performing legal acrobatics, I cannot make the instruction confusing. And I certainly cannot do the contortions necessary to find the Texas appellate court's decision 'objectively unreasonable.

Clarence Thomas

He's got just great technique, and he stays in great position. He's got a heart about the size of Texas. He's the nicest kid you'll ever be around, except when he's wrestling.

Dave Carlile

We're very east Texas people.

Patsy Cline

That's where the seed was planted. Some of the alumni said, 'Wouldn't it be great if Ohio State played Texas?' In the back of my mind, I was thinking, it sure would.

Archie Griffin

I could have said, 'This sucks,' [but] what would this have accomplished? ... I was aware of the 'Sophie's choice' that had to be made. I really was proud of my community for saving the auditorium. In America, we have to be proud of what little scraps of elegance we can save in this low-tax, low-service, Texas model of government.

Rick Steves

Are they likely to change the (overall) crime rate in Texas? Not really. ... Will it change the directions and patterns in Texas? I doubt it.

Steve Murdock

Governor Bush understands that hard-working entrepreneurs created the new economy, not government. But, as he has shown in Texas, which leads the nation in high-tech job growth, government can create an environment in which entrepreneurs flourish: an environment that encourages innovation, rewards risk-taking, and promotes equal opportunity.

Paul Beck

Last night (Monday) we were asked if we could take more. We told them we could take 3,000 from Texas.

Kurt Pickering

The administration believes Texas is OK.

Mark Viator

There's so many rare documents that you may never get the opportunity to see again. Anybody that's interested in Texas ought to come.

John Blades

It's very convenient for us here. It's right in the middle of our field. Oil and gas has always been a big business here, and it's more and more becoming a hotbed of activity in East Texas.

Gary Hale

We're lucky in this part of Texas because the lawyers, for the most part, are like family.

Randy May

You won't see the Texas defense play like that again.

Rod Wright

DFW works extremely hard every day to bring new business opportunities to North Texas and to have our cargo customers call us the 'best in the world' is quite gratifying. Cargo helps propel the North Texas economy, bringing in new jobs with the addition of new cargo service, new products on every flight and new opportunity for local and international businesses.

Joe Lopano

I don't think y'all have any idea what football means in Texas.

Robert Killebrew

[Bolton says the concert will also honor martial arts expert Norris who teaches self-defense techniques to at-risk youth in Texas through his program,] Kick Start. Tens of thousands of kids come through his organization, ... and he is a great hero for doing that kind of work.

Michael Bolton

This game does mean a lot to me. Having grown up in the state of Texas, I'll have a lot of family and friends at the game. I think the whole town will be there. I've only had one opportunity as a head coach to coach a game in Texas, and that one didn't work out so well against a good Sam Houston State team in 2001.

Don Patterson

The speaker's prudent course of action will allow the pharmacy school to open, and the state will have funding to cover the costs associated with the hurricanes and public school finance without having to further burden Texas taxpayers.

Alexis Delee

As our industry grows in West Texas, there is a growing demand for engineers.

William Fannin

We applaud the efforts of Cindy Sheehan in Texas. We consider her the Rosa Parks of the new movement opposing the Iraq war.

Rosemary Palmer

We are pleased with the confidence Citibank, Texas has exhibited in working with us to renew this credit facility. Their ongoing banking services and support of our business model through challenging times during space shuttle flight delays have been of great value.

Brian Harrington

Texas schools are opening their doors to thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees. We want to help them care for this influx of students. It is important to get these children back into a stable school environment as quickly as possible.

Annette Griffin

Our athletes here in the state of Texas produced artwork that went on the cards. Then on our Web site you could order the greeting cards. Fifty percent of the total cost went to Special Olympics and the site also directed you into another area where if you wanted to make an additional donation, you were able to.

Lisa Cooper

We're certain entertainment will return to Southeast Texas, but first and foremost, we need to get our community up and running.

Derrick Adams

Its time for Gov. Perry to step up and pay attention to the educators and parents of Texas, who have called for property tax relief coupled with increased funding for school improvements.

Amber Moon

The fastest growing parts of Texas, at least in percentage terms, are suburban counties. Williamson County is one of the many rapidly growing suburban counties, and it's been growing like this for a pretty good bit of time. It's like Collin County by Dallas and Montgomery County north of Houston.

Steve Murdock

I have no explanation for that. The senator intended the TTP permit as a means for subdivisions and cities to control nuisance deer. I have not looked at the rules promulgated by Texas Parks and Wildlife after the legislation was passed. It wouldn't be the first time the intent of a bill got changed.

Joe Morris

While we are pleased that Texas continues to be one of our top states for leads, we are concerned as this suggests a large amount of piracy is taking place in the area. There have been major advances in the fight against software piracy, yet it remains a very real, very serious problem.

Jenny Blank

There were many tie votes in the Texas House in 2005 on critical education bills, so a new Austin legislator could be the tiebreaker. We need a lawmaker who will consistently be on the side of public school parents and PTA leaders. Austin's new leader should have the courage to stand with parents and not succumb to pressure by power brokers promoting ideological education agendas.

Carolyn Boyle

It takes out a big organizing force. He was really a centerpiece in terms of fundraising, and he was an ideological anchor, and, obviously, as the majority leader in Congress had a major ripple effect on the flow of money to Texas.

Harvey Kronberg

I talked to the kids yesterday and said we should have one of the best shooting teams in East Texas. And we haven't been. We've been finding other ways to scrap up wins. We have good shooters, and I hope today will kind of break that ice for us.

Keith Taylor

He fought pretty hard. They had a lot of flares and Texas Leaguers. This gives us a good reference of where we are.

Bill Buscetto

It's great that Texas has taken our students at a time when we can't educate them. But eventually, I think, people will come back home. It's human nature to rebuild - and I think that's what will happen. In the long run, our school will be better.

Carol Roberts

I guess it's a pretty big weekend for both of us. I'm preparing for another big step in my career at Texas. Tiger is looking to place himself in the record books again. I'm sure we're both excited for different reasons.

David Gilliland

It is great to see Laura Moore back on the mound. If she can continue what she did in Texas- no walks, spread hits out and get ahead in the count- she should do very well in our conference games.

Leigh Podlesny

Ask yourself this simple question: Are Texas and Louisiana in the energy business or the oil business? If we're in the oil business, we're all going to go out of business eventually, but if we're in the energy business, these wind turbines will operate forever and furnish viable sources of energy.

Herman Schellstede

Today, unfortunately, our state government has come full circle. Once again we desperately need the people of Texas to take over their state government.

Bob Gammage

I know for a fact the Texas Longhorns are going to show up. And that team is a great team.

Daniel Gibson

This should be welcome news for California, Texas and Illinois, which together make up fully a quarter of domestic machinery production.

David Huether

I thought that everything was lost. It only takes one mistake for you to mess up your life. I thought I would go out of jail and go home (to Texas) and get a 9-to-5 job working construction or something.

Jason Berryman

If the King's English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me! Governor of Texas (circa 1920).

Ma Ferguson

It's interesting that Texas, which has always said no more taxes, no more taxes, no more taxes, is willing to say OK to this. But you find this all over the country, that the one issue that will open up the pocketbooks _ and we all hate taxes _ it is education.

Mickey Blum

If they beat Texas, then you have to say what they've accomplished is unparalleled in college football. I was with Coach [Bear] Bryant when he first got things going at Alabama, and we won a bunch of games. But given the competition today, what USC has done is incredible.

Gene Stallings

I hope the community is better for having had open and honest debate about the future of West Texas and how we can move the Big Country forward.

Kevin Christian

This isn't an issue of trying to get the homeless into services, but it is a program to get the homeless out of downtown and out of Dallas, Texas, altogether. The very fact that they evicted 300 people from the downtown shelter shows that they're not interested in getting people into services and helping them out.

James Waghorne

I felt like all spring I have done pretty well. This was just a good ending to spring. Now it's time to get ready for the fall. I just relied on my teammates. That's the thing about Texas; everyone is going to make good plays. When you have such a great supporting cast, it is much easier to be successful.

Jevan Snead

We've had one of these dinners on the 50-yard-line at Texas Stadium, and invited some players to stop by. We did it (the 50-yard-line stadium dinner) because we thought it was fun.

Bill Brewer

I have been looking forward to this since my freshman year, because Texas had the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, and we were second. So this will decide which one was better.

Nate Salley

The top eight states on our list are Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Indiana, Virginia, Alabama, and Utah.

John Kramer

By any name, our VTX Communications and VTX Broadband companies are the best choice for South Texas business. We're both local companies with decades of experience in South Texas business, and we've got an astounding network to help meet any challenge.

Dave Osborn

There's more per capita than any other place in the world in Texas, ... Country music just brings them out. Over the years it's been a hotbed of artists that made it up to Nashville that started here in Texas.

Geronimo

We were working on our doubles because we got swept there by Texas Tech and (we are) focused on concentrating on the game. As the week went on, we were getting better, but now we will see in Utah.

Olga Klimova

It's something that's easy to do. Carp are everywhere. You don't need a boat, and there's some kind of body of water like Town Lake in or around just about every city in Texas. Maybe there's some potential there, especially for families.

Phil Durocher

What they're now wanting are expert opinions or letters to go along with the proposal. Everything else we already had. It's my gut feeling the Bureau of Economic Geology also realizes West Texas is a great site.

Stephanie Sparkman

We have already received inquiries from other states, and the interest in a number of our existing and soon-to-be launched online courses is extremely high. Our goal is to pursue expansion into new markets, particularly where licensing, training and continuing education requirements overlap with the programs we have already developed for the Texas market.

John Matthews

Everybody's safe, ... We have a ranch in the hill country of Texas, about an hour east of Del Rio. Pearland is a suburb on the south side of Houston, and they were getting a lot of water.

Clay Hensley

My 4-year-old grandson (in Texas) keeps calling and saying he's sitting on the steps waiting for me to come pick him up. It breaks my heart.

Mary Williams

Ricky really found something that last day, it was a simple change, but it made a huge difference in the way I could get through the corner and get back on the gas. Texas is a totally different track than Richmond, but I think that same adjustment might help us here this weekend. I'm ready to get back to racing.

Tim Sauter

Corporate America views Texas and San Antonio as property tax heavy.

Mario Hernandez

I grew up in Texas, but that was 20 years ago. Last year, in Fort Worth, they had hail the size of softballs. We're seeing more and more powerful storms, of all types, almost on a biblical level.

Bill Paxton

We continue to see growth in our summer food program, serving more kids at more locations each year. We'll work to build on that success in 2006. Transportation grants will help extend our reach into East and West Texas.

Diane Bottoms

It has gone into a blocking pattern, areas of high pressure that get locked into place. There is one locked into place over the North Pacific. It's like a train wreck; nothing goes anywhere. It causes the whole circulation to stay in place. The whole hemisphere is tied into it; it explains why it is still dry in Texas.

Andy Nash

From what we've seen in Texas, it is so important that the door be open to meaningful federal habeas review. We're not talking about technicalities, but people whose sentence was seriously flawed, who now may lose the ability to appeal.

Jim Marcus

Thank God we have electricity to hold Mass. Thank God we are fine. We are praying for all the people in Louisiana and Texas who were affected by Hurricane Rita.

Kevin Collins

Under Texas statute, nothing is going to happen to impair the operation of public schools while the appeal is pending. We're confident the Supreme Court won't allow any injunction to go into effect while they're still finalizing their opinion.

Ben Taylor

Roger was my first recruit at Texas. Roger is just the best. He is a great person, great student and a great team guy. Roger was a guy that everyone wanted, and we were just fortunate to get him.

Michael Center

Texas public education definitely doesn't have numbers they can brag about. We can only get so far with the resources that we have. It's simple - teachers are getting involved because they are mad. Really, really mad.

Richard Kouri

The most athletic team there is in this conference tournament. In order for Texas College to win, we have to take our smartness to another level, get the team to play hard, and we can't beat ourselves. I feel like nobody in this conference is capable of beating us except ourselves.

Andre Payne

I'm really excited about it. I know a lot of people are coming in from Texas for this. I haven't been back to Texas a lot since I graduated, so this is really nice.

Julie Williams

Willie Nelson stands for something. He stands for Texas, and when he goes off and starts being best friends with Jimmy Carter and Dennis Kucinich, as far as I'm concerned, that stains Austin. That stains his iconic image.

Don Scott

It's really unique. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have made the move to the University of Texas and continued the streak. I don't think about it a whole bunch. Obviously, it would be nice to continue that streak. I can assure you that.

Gene Chizik

The only way we have been able to do this is because Texas has planned and has drilled for years.

Robert Black

Under this governor, it is us against them. The sad fact is the governor has so politically fractured our state ... the only way to bring Texas back together and get things done is to have independent leadership.
