[They all realize they have it better than some, but they struggle none the less.] I really feel like no one knows I'm here, ... It's like the nation thinks the only people affected by this are in Texas (at the Superdome and other shelters).

Sandra Richards

It makes sense, after losing a big case like the one in Texas. But it doesn't sound like many cases will fall into that category.

Jon Lecroy

If I owned both Hell and Texas, I'd live in Hell and rent out Texas.

Mark Twain

The Red River Shootout (the rivalry between University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma) has been a fixture here, set against the backdrop of the Texas State Fair, since 1929.

Dave Hollingsworth

I thought the UIL was going to make every effort to create all eight-team districts. Dallas ISD and East Texas are six-team districts.

Jim Ledford

My understanding from the state of Texas is that although Medicaid funding will be available for the victims, there will be no waiver of the state match of Medicaid funds, which is about 39 percent.

Robert Carpenter

What I wanted them to know is that what was going on in California in 1968 was happening here in Texas, too, at the same time. What a film like this does, is tell our youth what their parents did to make things better for them.

Gregory Rocha

We are working with the company's owners to find ways they can expand their operations in Texas and not have to close the facility. Gov. Perry has also contacted the Department of Defense to request a delay, due to the importance of their defense-related products.

Rachael Novier

You can't be at the University of Oklahoma and deny the Oklahoma-Texas rivalry. It's there, it's prevalent in every sport. It means a lot to our players, our fans, our university and our state. And it's something that we really embrace.

Sunny Golloway

Master Gardeners graduates become part of Texas Cooperative Extension as volunteers, and even after they complete their classroom instruction and 50 hours of volunteer work, they must do 12 hours of volunteer work every year to maintain their certified Master Gardener status.

Dr. Enrique Perez

I think the weather you're seeing in Texas is very unusual. You would have to go back to the '50s to see the kind of dryness you're seeing. I don't think we've seen anything like this in a generation.

Rick Ochoa

North Texas is a very difficult team to guard. We knew we would have our hands full getting out and guarding them. … Holding them to 4-for-16 from the 3-point line was one of the very telling stories of the game.

Steve Shields

General Clark is a great American, great leader, great Democrat and an even better friend. I'm proud to have him by my side on the trail and know that it will be a great boost to our campaign to build better schools, expand access to affordable health care, clean up our environment and restore integrity to Texas government.

Bob Gammage

In light of recent weather patterns, it is imperative that the (U.S. Department of Agriculture) offer the emergency CRP haying and grazing program to Texas producers. Availability of forage is literally a matter of survival in the unpredictable and often unforgiving agriculture industry.

Larry Eubank

Certainly, it's important to gain inroads with the Jackson area. But we would have recruited Jeremy if he was from somewhere random like Texas. He's just a terrific player that will help us immediately.

Kevin Burton

The addition of jobs by Texas employers, as well as the declining unemployment rate, is great news for the labor market.

Diane Rath

I walked away from 2004 knowing I didn't swim my own race. This time, I didn't look around and panic. I kept my blinders on. . . . Overall, it went really well. The Texas guys started swimming fast and then everyone did.

Brendan Hansen

Texas Instruments' numbers were broadly in line with estimates, but there may have been some disappointment that they didn't raise the high end of the range.

Michael Sheldon

As Texas, we've have played some of the top locations all over the world and this one is right up there with the best of them, quite literally.

Sharleen Spiteri

Carlos has great interest in playing in Texas, which we have expressed to the Rangers management several times. We're not looking for any records, and we're not looking to break the bank.

David Sloane

I think Texas is a really good basketball state. We're ranked about 15th in our area. That tells you what the competition is like.

Buddy Carlisle

Texas is made whole for their cost of caring for evacuees.

Mark Mcclellan

Although parts of the Interior share a similar political culture with Alberta, B.C. as a whole has about as much in common with Alberta and the Prairies as California has with Texas.

Mark Marissen

I'm a big Texas [football] fan, and after they won [the national championship] I shaved my head into a Mohawk with a Longhorns logo on each side. All of us like to go all out.

Corey Campbell

Texas Instruments' conference call left people pretty cold. That broke the momentum of that group and has spilled over into other tech stocks.

Robert Philips

There's nothing political about it. In Texas, there are certain requirements for independent candidates to get a place on the ballot, and our office is applying those to each candidate this election cycle.

Scott Haywood

Once you come to Texas, you automatically get that feeling that you're striving for excellence.

Daniel Gibson

The problems you are seeing on the ship are a magnification of the problems you are seeing in parks across Texas. We are putting a Band-Aid on a very large wound.

Barry Ward

It was closure for me, and you know, very seldom did you hear anything about the victim, it was always about Gary Graham. The people trying to convince, you know, the American people that this was an innocent man, and Texas was going to execute him, and you know, he was not innocent.

Bobby Hanners

It is time for our elected officials to invest in Texas' natural heritage and to provide the planning and resources we need to preserve Texas for future generations.

Luke Metzger

That is generally pretty much what I have heard. The only problems were in the southern Hill Country and South Texas where they weren't working like they wanted them to.

T. Wayne Schwertner

Florida joined Texas and Kansas in its decision to recognize gender reassignment as a medically valid procedure that enables transsexuals to live new lives in every which way except to allow them to get married.

Karen Doering

We had to pull out of the Texas relays for a number of different reasons. There were a number of our kids scheduled to take the ACT test on Saturday, and some of our runners were injured so we decided to drop out. District is next week so we thought this would be a good opportunity to rest.

Andrew Washington

What lays before us here in Central Texas is an exciting opportunity for change. It's a chance to make a difference.

Van Taylor

His comment was, 'If there's going to be a poll, you'd like to be as high in it as possible because if there's going to be a beauty contest, you'd like to win,' ... One of the goals we had eight years ago was to make sure Texas is placed back in the elite of college football, and obviously this season we will be.

Mack Brown

Last week we got exposed on the run. (North Texas) has two amazing backs. I don't care what conference you're in, it's going to be a heck of a challenge for our front seven.

Jeremy Hamilton

We found that, in response to these requests, department employees, with one exception, recognized that this was a state matter and did not provide any assistance to the search for the Texas legislators.

Glenn Fine

This finding in South Texas is probably a new introduction. And what it suggests is that soybean rust could take the so-called 'rust corridor' to points possibly as far north as Canada.

Tom Isakeit

I think this is a statement that University of Texas is going to fight to the finish.

Vince Young

Of all the cities in Texas, Houston is the most international. Of the people who come here, those from India find it attractive because it is a broad-minded city -- and it has the same climate they are used to. Others notice the open-thinking attitude Houston has toward the import/export business.

Michael Hick

They're very good. They've always been a good team. USC plays a different style of ball. Texas has all the potential in the world. Hopefully they'll make a run for it.

Davin Joseph

I started calling around, and everybody told me about this kid Chad Campbell in Texas. They said he was the best player in junior college. I'd never seen him, but so many people spoke so highly of him, I called him and offered him a scholarship sight unseen.

Dwaine Knight

I think they've been going after the same players [in Georgia]. What I see is that they're going after the same level of players in other states now.... They've gotten players from Texas. They've gotten players from Florida.

Scott Kennedy

Our executive MBA program in Dallas began as a training program at Texas Instruments.

George Gau

It's the way our two countries are. (In Canada) it's the main sport. You'll see everybody play. Down here it's different. In Texas, it's all football. That's the primary thought is football or the NBA.

Shawn Belle

Let's put the wealth of the state as a whole on the table. Let's put every conceivable source of revenue on the table and forge a plan where every person in Texas pays their fair share.

Bob Gammage

The city of Lubbock has gone through the biggest financial times, with Lubbock Power and Light and the West Texas Municipal Power Agency. We have fixed that. We're a dynamic city and have a bright future ahead of us.

Gary Boren

I've been working with the Texas Rice Growers Association to see about getting Texas rice sold to Iraq and to Cuba.

Ted Poe

We couldn't be happier with the success of the Gen 2 demonstration. Working with leading companies such as Zebra and Texas Instruments allows us to further strengthen our RFID technology capabilities.

Kevin Ashton

The Texas relays is one of the premier meets in the country-we've got a small squad here, 25 athletes-our elite group.

Jennifer Joyce

The feeling is he may be a great governor of Texas, but he shouldn't be in charge of the most powerful country in the world.

Rosemary Hollis

I am pleased to report that Texas is known for having one of the strongest set of open government laws in our Nation. And ever since that experience, I have long believed that our federal government could use 'a little Texas sunshine.'

John Cornyn

I really think five years from now people will be talking about Baton Rouge the way they talked about Austin (Texas) five years ago.

Stephen Moret

If he's paying attention and he's serious, he won't leave the state. There is one issue in Texas today, and that is public schools.

Kelly Fero

There's a lot of geographic concentration of power. All these folks are from Texas -- a big energy-producing state. It shows where the influence is.

Tyson Slocum

In Texas, they make you jump through hoops to get on the ballots.

John Mcdowell

We're concerned about the numbers in Texas.

Albie Lewis

We fully endorse the corrective actions required by the settlement ...to make the Texas City refinery a safer place.

Ross Pillari

Lancaster obscures the results a little bit because they score so high, but I was real happy with our relays. They finished second to Lancaster, and I would think they posted some of the fastest sprint times in East Texas.

Dennis Baker

I think (Texas) is the best all around team we have played. We have seen some good teams in the four years I have been here, but Texas is solid everywhere on the field. They are great on special teams, have a great quarterback, and one of the best offensive lines we have seen.

Rickey Bustle

Texas' current retention policy has not demonstrated any evidence of improving student success. It has not materially improved our high school graduation rate, nor has retention resulted in improved academic proficiency of graduates.

Chris Patterson

The Texas labor market continues to gain strength as employers are adding jobs and more people are finding work. Texas is showing continued growth that speaks well for economic development in the state.

Diane Rath

I want to remind the people in Port Arthur and Southeast Texas that as lawmakers, we are just as frustrated as they are about the special session. But I do think we have made substantial progress since the regular session.

Tommy Williams

I kind of felt that people weren't really leaning towards us because of our opponents, but we came in, stepped up and played big and beat Texas. I think that we are going to catch a lot of people's attention.

Kaylee Brown

If recapture is in place still this fall and, if they haven't shared their wealth as they are required to do by law, then they become subject under Texas law to detachment and annexation, or consolidation.

Debbie Ratcliffe

Small business drives our economy and employs 80 percent of our workforce. We are thrilled to be part of an initiative that will help Texas employers get back to the job of doing business.

Bill Hammond

We've heard of increases in Texas as high as 50 cents a gallon overnight following Hurricane Katrina.

Rose Rougeau

There's nothing about being in Texas we don't like.

David Crane

That's Right (You're Not From Texas).

Lyle Lovett

Wilkinson had a lot of high-powered influence in the United States, Spain and France. Wilkinson commissioned Pike, but what were his motives? He had already sent men into New Orleans and Texas (still under Spanish control) on filibusters or spying missions. He was making contact with Spanish viceroys and selling information to Spain (U.S. military arrangements for $12,000).

Deborah Espinosa

Every single candidate for Texas governor is talking about this issue. This is a major issue in many political campaigns, because this is a major issue for the citizens of Texas. Even Kinky (Friedman) is talking about it.

Terri Hall

I think this is an excellent first step to curbing the steroid epidemic in Texas. The state is telling school districts protecting our kids from steroid abuse must become a priority.

Phil King

Parks, in addition to being quality of life components, in a place like Texas are huge economic generators.

Walt Dabney

Because Texas has the largest number of uninsured citizens of any state, we have a huge problem with uncompensated care provided in emergency departments and trauma centers.

Angela Gardner

It's like (former Texas Longhorns football coach) Darrell Royal used to say about the forward pass: Three things can happen and two of them are bad. Many things can happen in a Legislature. Most of them are bad. Bush got out unscathed.

Chuck Mcdonald

We got a taste of that type of atmosphere, that type of feeling when we played Texas in Madison Square Garden.

Josh Mcroberts

Twenty-eight gauge is pretty uncommon here. But down there (in Texas) it's popular.

Jim Holland

[The rebuilding efforts ahead will take place in the White House as well as along the Gulf Coast, says Bruce Buchanan, a political scientist at the University of Texas.] This goes right to the core of his strength and right to the core of the thing that has enabled him to stay plausible despite the political partisan divide in the country, ... Now he's in damage control big time.

Bruce Buchanan

I like the idea of a fourth team in the playoffs, because it gives more athletes the opportunity to experience the playoffs. The Texas High School playoffs are the experience of a lifetime.

Mike Hughes

Back in the '40's, Lyndon Johnson could still steal a Senate election in South Texas with the help of the big patrons.

Calvin Jillson

We are in the process of transporting rough 60 generators to Ft. Worth, Texas to our staging area there. Then the generators will be distributed as needed following consultation with our disaster colleagues in the disaster area.

Kevin Clark

If he can't recreate the Republic of Texas, I think his second best is to recreate the Alamo right down here.

Joe Rowe

(An) area of high pressure in the mid- and upper levels of the atmosphere ... has been parked over Texas and the Southern U.S. for the last couple of months.

Gary Woodall

They nest in Alaska and Siberia, then come back through places like Malta and the Nelson Reservoir and continue down to the panhandle of Texas to winter.

Jim Hansen

He gets credit in having turned Bill Clinton into a real believer on climate change. Bush has said he needs to be judged by Texas, and if you judge him by Texas, the record is appalling.

Carl Pope

He did tell his son, the governor of Texas, that he was tired of him getting all the attention.

Jim Mcgrath

Texas has a lot of good newspapers and it's always gratifying to receive recognition from this group. I'm very proud of our winners, as well as all the other newsroom folks who work hard every day to put out our newspaper.

George Cox

Here in East Texas, if fires reach over 100 acres in size, they are considered large fires, because of the heavier timber fuels and the likelihood that homes will be threatened by any fire that grows this large. A 4,000-acre fire is a huge fire in this region.

Bill Rose

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Hostiles are invading the Republic of Texas embassy, ... We have hostiles in the woods. This is a mayday call for any nation in the world ... We are being invaded!

Richard Mclaren

If you're not playing well, it doesn't matter if you have experience or if you're playing at home or what you're doing. They're all storylines that reporters want to touch on ... but I think it has more to do with how Texas plays and how well we play.

Mike Bianco

Our team respects Texas. They have beaten us four in a row and beat us by 10 last year in Knoxville. We were not surprised.

Pat Summitt

Fifteen years ago, New York had 1.1 million more jobs than Texas. Today, Texas has 1 million more jobs than New York. That's the lost ground we must recover.

Linda Sanford

(Texas) has done the humanitarian deed, ... Texas has the largest contingent of Katrina evacuees -- 300,000. Thank God Texas is big.

Tom Davies

Our plan is to bring this thing back to Texas, where it belongs in the South. Growing up, I've always been a believer that real football is played in Texas.

Selvin Young

Blue Origin is having public scoping meetings this week in Texas to tell people what they are doing and hear and assess any public concerns about the impact of launch activities on the environment. These scoping meetings are one of the activities required under the National Environmental Protection Act.

Patricia Smith

Some of the easiest and fastest growing vegetables are radishes. They do extremely well in the Texas heat. Tomatoes are some of the most difficult because of the weather fluctuations, bugs and diseases.

Pam Martin

I was with a longtime coach, I wound up moving with him to Florida, ... The training conditions weren't optimal down there. I had some friends here in Texas and pretty much it was a last-minute thing. I just felt that's what I had to do. I just had to put all my eggs in one basket.

Patricia Golden

Coastal wind power has come to the United States and found a home in Texas.

Jerry Patterson

Deep down, I'm a Texas girl looking for that big romance every girl dreams about. Biologically, I look forward to being a cornerstone of a family. I'll be in my glory when I have a child on my knee.

Renee Zellweger

That was the beginning of a series of cases in Texas that really started shifting the state into a position of not being so much of a plaintiff's haven for class actions.

Jerry Clements

I am pleased this judge concluded that Merck made a wrong move by trying to run from justice in a Texas state court.

Greg Abbott

Conjunto is like Texas mariachi music, ... It's the traditional and dance music of our culture.

Bobby Pulido

North Texas will always be a special place for me. I was the first sportscaster to show highlights of a UNT football practice when I came up in '57 and I will still teach a class there this fall.

Bill Mercer

There is no family in Central Texas who is more responsible for this new Dell Children's Medical Center.

Charles Barnett

Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, are the two toughest communities in which you have to put together a winning football team, ... They are both big metropolitan areas without professional football and major league baseball to sidetrack them.

Brent Musburger

Alligators are not endangered in Texas. In looking at the resource concerns, we are not that concerned about them outside the core counties where they are a daily part of life. Alligators in the marginal counties take an extraordinary amount of time and expense for the department.

Jim Sutherlin

The no. 1 domestic growth driver will be grocery. Wal-Mart has a lot of room to grow there. It's already the No. 1 grocer in Texas.

George Whalin

This past Sunday we got the order from FEMA to ship 1,800 homes to a staging area outside Texarkana, Texas. And those homes began shipping immediately.

Chris Nicely

We got to know one another when they played here, ... I had learned that he's moved his program to University of Texas at Tyler to get through the coming season while the student-athletes continue classes.

Brandon Murphy

It happened five months apart almost to the day. For fraternal twins to both get this cancer is very rare. As I understand it, it is the first time fraternal twins were treated for cancer at the same time at Texas Children's Cancer Center (at Texas Children's Hospital.

Monica Kubena

They say Texas has the most friendly people. After meeting these people, they weren't lying.

Louie Walters

Texas is not the first state to take this step.

Scott Mcdonald

It's the exact situation they're dealing with in Oklahoma and Texas, it's the same type of situation for an aggressive fire. The only difference is out here it gets cooler in the evening.

Justin Dombrowski

The standards we've set allows guys like Kevin to know we're a program on the rise. We had one of the best seasons in Texas basketball history, and we want to carry on the legacy.

Daniel Gibson

There's a place in Texas that allows individuals to participate in the parade.

Jeff Landy

I really want to beat Texas Tech. We've lost to them all three years I've been here. I think they might be the only team we haven't beaten at least once since I've been in college.

John Tofi

Participants can look a Texas map and see how far they could have gone if they had been walking in a straight line. One of the goals of the campaign is to help people develop good fitness habits whether it gets them moving indoors or outdoors.

Carol Rice

We are going to be having, hopefully it will be the largest civil rights demonstration in the history of Dallas, Texas -- 100,000-plus.

Domingo Garcia

We basically invaded Texas Tech and Lubbock for over two weeks. We came back multiple times and we had 60-plus people there. We were a raging pain in the rear end, and coach and his staff and the university and the city were unbelievable. If there had been issues, we never could've pulled it off.

Rob Lundgren

W e took advantage of the Texas game, to try to promote some things like the three game holiday package over the Christmas break, and it's just continuing to build.

John Currie

This legislation will ensure that Texas is at the forefront of the telecommunications industry, bringing thousands of new jobs and billions of economic investment to our state.

Phil King

I was probably more excited for this game even than the Texas Tech game because of the crowd, energy and excitement.

Scott Drew

[The money Sen. Lindsey Graham received came from the federal political action committee and] were not the subject of the Texas inquiry, ... Senator Graham has no intention of returning the contribution.

Kevin Bishop

When the hot East Texas summer days begin, the stations will again look to the community to help hundreds of senior citizens and those who are shut in survive the oppressive heat.

Al Ross

No, the law is very clear in Texas on how you can use corporate funds: paying your rent, paying your telephone bills, paying your accountant, ... Very, very specific limited administrative expenses.

Craig Mcdonald

If he wants to do that, that's great. Unfortunately his record in Texas is just atrocious.

Mike Barnes

I could tell in the locker room before the game that this time it would be different. It was silent. No one was talking. Texas forgot that last time they got our worst game. Today, they got our best.

Darnell Jackson

The court itself is unclear on what direction it is going to take in these redistricting cases. Texas may clarify the confusion.

Michael Ariens

Texas people are really strong in their roots. I started writing and playing guitar at 17. I've always loved music, and my dad is a singer-songwriter.

Miranda Lambert

Texas is a place where there are no limits on individual or political committee contributions and donations can and do exceed $100,000.

Alan Miller

The referee made the right call. Texas made a great defensive play. At the end of the game, the referees don't want to determine it and kind of let us play. It was the right call not to make the call.

Mike Gansey

The lottery has been pushed in most of the southern states by Republicans, ... If it's morally wrong here, is it OK in Texas where the charge for the lottery was led by the Republican Party?

David Hoyle

We must also increase the USDA surveillance program, which is testing just one percent of all animals slaughtered in the United States. We think USDA should be testing all animals over 20 months at slaughter. But at a minimum, USDA should test all high-risk cattle, and all cattle from Western Canada, from the Pacific Northwest and from Texas, where cases have been identified.

Michael Hansen

Mr. DeLay explained to officials what he has always said publicly: His role with respect to TRMPAC was limited to serving on the political action committee's advisory board along with other elected Texas officials and to appearing at fundraising events.

Kevin Madden

We think that communications applications (i.e., wireless handset, ADSL and cable) for DSP and analog chips could help Texas Instruments accelerate top- and bottom-line growth to between 20 percent and 30 percent per year.

David Wong

Good deal for the citizens of Texas.

Matthew Myers

One of the guideposts he uses is, are they individuals who will be good for the business climate in Texas and in particular those who support reasonable tort reform.

Anthony Holm

I haven't really thought about (a potential rematch). But that Texas State game (from Feb. 18) is fresh on my mind.

Katie Sandefur

We think we have a chance. It's been a definite step up in competition. There are so many good teams out there at this level. I am going to try and have the best year I can and then move to Texas. From there we will just have to see how it goes.

Krystal Lewallen

If you're wondering what the USA that your children or grandchildren — depending on your age — will look like, all you need to do is look around because in a very real sense, the Texas of today is the USA of tomorrow.

Steve Murdock

We are in the top five sites in Texas. We expect that to change on Monday.

Neil Mcdonald

Los Angeles is really the only place where I can go and say our houses are only $250,000, and people will get excited about that. I can't do that in Oklahoma or Texas, but I can do that in L.A.

Tony Lopez

Huge. Playing here is like playing in Texas; you never have enough runs. I don't know how many times I've seen [the Red Sox] score a bunch of runs in the eighth or ninth inning to win games here. You just can't give them any breathing room.

Mark Ellis

The greatest hindrance Southeast Texas has had is the administration, the president.

Mark Viator

This is about big business having its hand in the pocketbook of Texas, a pocketbook Rick Perry should be fiercely protecting from special interests.

Laura Stromberg

Football is king in Texas, and I don't think anyone from anywhere else has any idea what that really means. I drive home sometimes through these small towns, and all you see is signs like 'Go, Buffalos' everywhere.

Robert Killebrew

I sort of feel like I felt when I watched the USC-Texas (Rose Bowl) game last night. Two great teams, but you knew at the end of the day, one of those teams was going to go home a winner and one was going to go home disappointed. We are disappointed. We are not discouraged.

Bob Marcusse

This is yet another issue where Bush has done nothing in Texas, but expects us to believe he'll be leader as president.

Douglas Hattaway

During a conference call on Sunday, we found out that plane was en route, but developed mechanical problems and had to land in San Antonio, Texas. I don't know where the break down in communication was, but I believe it's getting better now.

Robert Cardwell

I continue to say that nothing will be decided until after the World Baseball Classic. It is a five-horse race between Retirement, Boston, Houston (post May 1), New York, and Texas (alphabetical order except for the lead horse, named Retirement).

Randy Hendricks

It's going to be exciting. We not only compete against Texas in the pool, we compete against them in recruiting. This is a big meet for both teams, for the season and for the future.

David Marsh

He has potentially opened the door for other people. I've heard from other artists in Texas and elsewhere who say, 'Hey, we pioneered this, it wasn't Troy.' Apparently they're out there.

Phyllis Stark

But we're not looking at anything like we've seen in the last few days like central Texas.

Michael Eckert

We thought perhaps if we invited Texas A&M as well, we might get Texas.

Tom Hansen

They had called across the state to different head football coaches, along with the media and college coaches to ask for recommendations for Texas High and to find out what our program would mean to this particular event. They said everything came back as a can't-miss proposition. They were told ours is a team they need to have. I'm really proud of that.

Barry Norton

The Travis County district attorney is a mirror of the bitterness and vindictive nature of the Democrat old guard, ... I trust in the Texas justice system and know that Congressman Delay will be cleared of these politically motivated charges.

Fc Dallas

The absence of Marsha on the Texas Tech sideline is a blow to the university, it's a blow to our conference and it's a blow to women's basketball. It has been an honor and a privilege to coach against Marsha for the past years.

Sherri Coale

This was an important win going into the Texarkana Tournament, ... I'm excited to get a look at Texas High before district play, and that will give us an idea of what we'll be facing in the district showdown.

Susan Reynolds

The Texas-OU game is a big revenue bear. And because it's played at a neutral site, you don't have as many student body going as you would if it was home-and-home. These are full-price tickets.

Darrell Royal

We think the vast majority of people in Texas are with us but that doesn't help if they don't show up.

Kelly Shackelford

The Medicaid program that ... we finalized today is a program to make sure the health care of the evacuees is paid for by the federal government and is not an added burden to the state of Texas.

Mark Mcclellan

The state of Texas, the nation, isn't prepared for what's going to happen with diabetes … we're in for a rocky road if we don't figure out in the next decade or so how to prevent this. I'm an optimist – I think we'll figure it out.

Craig Hanis

With the Texas Teacher of the Year (Karen Shepherd of Plano Senior High School) right here in Plano ISD, a Texas theme is most appropriate.

Karla Oliver

Yesterday Governor Perry declared Texas a state of disaster.

Bob Watts

I went to Austin to visit friends after Texas won the Rose Bowl. I went to their celebration at their stadium, and it was a sight to see. I watched Young to see how he would handle himself in that situation. I couldn't believe how charismatic he was. I watched him with the fans and with his teammates. I was so impressed.

Clancy Pendergast

If the court didn't think this (Texas) was materially different from the Pennsylvania case, they wouldn't have taken it up.

Matt Angle

We look at the positive. If we don't go to the NCAA, we go to the NIT. Maybe we win three games and get to go play in Madison Square Garden. My dad played there in the NIT at Texas and said it was a great experience. We'll just play hard and make the most of whatever happens.

Brent Murphy

Fear, hype and misinformation over mold in 2001 and 2002 created an insurance crisis in Texas that we're still paying for today. Our court system was flooded by questionable lawsuits driven by personal injury lawyers who preyed on people's health fears, despite the lack of any scientific evidence.

Kirsten Voinis

Coach Blair's team showed marked improvement last year and judging by the way his team is practicing, I see that success continuing, ... He is a wonderful representative for Texas A&M and women's basketball, and I'm proud to have him as our coach.

Bill Byrne

In 2004, Texas led the nation in home foreclosures ... yet no one seems to have a good answer as to the reason for these alarming statistics.

Rodney Ellis

We're excited and at the same time we have to start getting prepared. I'm looking forward to having a game in southern California. Texas Tech will be huge here, with a really exciting atmosphere. New Mexico State is always fun. Now, though, we will just have to focus on getting better in February. Then March.

Jordan Palmer

We have to wait and see how this storm develops, going into Texas. We don't have a sense of panic in the market yet.

Peter Fontaine

There is a huge interest in antique automobiles everywhere across the country, ... This is the only major antique automobile museum between Little Rock, Ark., and Dallas, Texas, and believe me we will get plenty of travelers and tourists stopping in Texarkana just to tour our museum.

James Jamison

For more than 138 years, it has been Frost Bank's privilege to help Texans with their financial needs.

Dick Evans

I'm from Texas, and my dad was from West Texas. As I was growing up, he'd tell me about the Miners and then he'd say that it just shows that you can do anything if you try hard enough.

Mehcad Brooks

Texas will again lift it's head and stand among the nations. It ought to do so, for no country upon the globe can compare with it in natural advantages.

Sam Houston

I don't like this place. I got my first major league win here, and that's the most success I've had. (Texas has) probably the best-hitting infield in the game and it's a tough ballpark to pitch in.

Ryan Franklin

One of our jobs is to keep an eye on California in case it gets too utterly bizarre. A glitch in California raises (electricity) prices from Alberta to West Texas.

Robert Mccullough

While the closure of the Texas stores results in an impairment charge, it does set the stage for fundamentally improving our Texas operations, ... The competitive environment has softened over the last couple of quarters, which has allowed us to improve our sales in that environment despite carrying these underperforming stores.

Steve Burd

We are not trying to steal Dallas from Texas.

Paul Sirmons

Jack Hendrix was a very prominent person here. He was a piano teacher at Odessa College for many years, and he was the state president of the Texas Music Teachers' Association at one time.

Ronald Bennett

I was on a bus getting off the plane for the game and my nephew called me. We hadn't heard from him. He called and he's doing good. I think he's in Texas.

Tory James

Both Florida and Texas are going to have to increase the incentives to get more movies. Right now, Louisiana is giving away the farm. I think they're giving away too much money. But they're trying to build their film industry.

Janis Burklund

Achieving widespread college readiness in Texas, which is critical to our social, cultural and economic well-being, will require a sea change in educational practice.

Raymund Paredes

My country has a lot of snow and it's about zero degrees right now. I like Texas and Midland. By coming here I think this is good for my future. I'm in general studies right now but by my second year I hope to pick my major, maybe in computers or in business. I hope to keep improving, play more college ball and maybe move on to the NBA.

Nemanja Calasan

Our job is to not think about (weather) too much and just play. But the Texas wind can make a fairly easy course more difficult.

Bart Bryant

I guess what bothers me so much about what I now see going on in both Washington and in Texas is an effort to keep people from finding out about the mistakes of lawmakers and then when they're uncovered, an effort to fool people and pretend there was nothing wrong.

Chris Bell

This was a good Texas Tech team, as good as they've had in a while. They're another Big 12 team like Baylor and we're playing much better.

Pat Murphy

It's a very good program. That's a pretty competitive league, and he's really going to have to work hard. They've got some big, giant people in that league. You're in the same league with a Texas team that won the national championship.

Joe Kinnan

The National Hurricane Center is projecting Hurricane Rita to hit the Texas coast Saturday morning with 145 mile-per-hour winds. That would hit the insurance companies again and trigger reinsurance coverage too.

Peter Streit

His Texas accent doesn't come closer than Perth Amboy.

Joel Siegel

No, but we need a better Texas for him.

Jamie Sharp

Galveston was the biggest city in Texas and second to New Orleans as the most important port on the Gulf Coast, ... The city started rebuilding right away, but was unable to convince investors to invest in Galveston. Now, it's just a town for tourists. That hurricane is the reason that Houston is the biggest city in Texas now.

Christopher Morris

I do understand the passion of the fans, and I think that's a plus when you're talk about playing or coaching, because they are behind you, but there are 35,000 of them in the stands. Tito has the confidence to put me over there. We got to know each other in Texas, and I think my demeanor plays a little bit of a factor, because I don't get too high or too low.

Demarlo Hale

She told Sen. Specter in her first meeting that she had a lot of information back in Texas based on her 30-year career and that she may have to sort of produce that on a rolling basis, so that continues to happen.

Jim Dyke

We know it's always difficult to adapt to new rules, but in the long run we hope that racing in Texas and the Southwest will be better for it.

Terry Dickerson

We accepted a higher proportion of English-learner students than any other state in the country, ... Our exclusion rate of English learners was 12%, while Texas' exclusion rate was 37.5% and New York's was 29%.

Jack O'connell

It's a paper-thin margin. It's irrelevant, because Virginia Tech is not going to catch Southern Cal and they have a faint hope of catching Texas. Virginia Tech isn't going to catch Southern Cal before they (the Trojans) catch Texas.

Jerry Palm

That's like saying George Bush has higher positives [ratings] in Massachusetts than in the state of Texas. It's stunning.

Tim Woolstencroft

I just can't envision Texas-OU being played anywhere except Dallas, ... It's a magical combination you couldn't re-create anywhere else.
