Nebraska has gone national to land some great prospects. Think about this, they have gone to California, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland, Arizona and Washington to grab players. They beat Southern Cal for Lucky and he's from the Trojans' backyard. What they have done has been impressive.

Stacey Dean

I went back to my high school in Texas about a month ago. I ended up spending five, six hours at the school meeting different kids.

Luke Wilson

Miami is going through the same kind of adversity as Florida State. Texas kind of slid higher after Mack Brown got his extension.

Fred Rouse

It's embarrassing for me being from Texas. I just want everyone to know that everything in Texas isn't as screwed up as it is at this place.

Terry Labonte

I will provide friendly and courteous service and will work closely with all departments in the county. I will abide by the Texas Information Act in providing information to the public.

Anne Grant

This is just another confirmation that redistricting brought about fair representation for the people of Texas.

Dan Allen

We showed a little better at Texas (two weeks ago), but I'm not happy with how the season has been. We just needed a change.

David Stremme

Say someone from your area is going to Iowa to hunt big deer. You can get a topographical map of that area and figure out several places to kill a big deer in Iowa before you ever leave Texas.

Brad Herndon

When the pair of buildings are seen together, with the plaza, it's going to become one of the favorite places in the art world, certainly a favorite in Texas. A quest of long duration is finally coming to a stage of fruition. ... Something extraordinary has been achieved after a long struggle.

Larry Faulkner

We've been dry now for a few months, and we're going into part of what is the driest part of the year (early 2006), and with the winds in the forecast, we're going to have the same fire conditions they had up in North Texas.

Tom Bird

My fascination with ancient Rome started as a kid back in Texas when my father turned me on to Robert Graves, who wrote 'I, Claudius,'.

Peter Weller

Our priorities for 2006 will include completing the transition to a fully competitive retail market in Texas, converting to an open model in our wholesale business, improving the commercial capacity factor of our generating plants and managing our collateral exposure to reduce postings by $1 billion by year-end.

Joel Staff

We are excited to be in the Austin market. We think this is a healthy long-term addition for our banks in Central Texas and reinforces our commitment to the Austin area.

Bob Barnes

The Texas Toll Party is promoting more baloney then the Oscar Mayer meat company ever made.

Joe Krier

Judge Justice's order confirms that Texas has a long way to go before more expansion of the managed care program would be warranted, because there are so many problems.

Susan Zinn

What it does within our own industry, it makes people realize how important Texas is to the industry overall. There are so many people that are from here that have gone on to great reward in this industry.

Bob Hudgins

He owns part of the team. If there's a certain rider from Texas who wants to join the team, we'll have space.

Dan Osipow

Because I ship a lot of small bales to Texas, I have to rely on the quality of my hay and my reputation as a grower.

Greg Mann

There are a number of reasons why none of the cities in Texas are threatened by the bubble. Our housing markets are in good shape.

James Gaines

We maintain that our rates are competitive and reasonable and appropriate for the risk in Texas.

Joe Mccormick

We at Texas A&M University-Commerce are delighted to work in partnership with Paris Junior College on this celebration.

James Conrad

We've pulled our distribution in closer to our core market by eliminating San Antonio, Dallas, far South Texas and parts of Louisiana.

Jack Sweeney

We've been touring over two years now and tour about eight months out of the year. After we hit Brookings, we're going back to Texas to restock and rest for a little.

Charles Woods

Against (eighth-ranked) Texas A&M (Feb. 25th), we were in the hunt and playing decent ball. But we lost it in the bottom of the seventh on a three-run homer. That was a heartbreaker.

Lonni Alameda

These closings set the stage for fundamentally improving our Texas operation.

Steve Burd

My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week. We hope that he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation that he deserves.

Harry Whittington

We hope that he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation that he deserves.

Harry Whittington

We try to include school children, especially seventh graders who are taking Texas History, in our activities. We know how important it is for them to learn the history of the town in which they live.

Bob Burchard

As the hurricane makes landfall, it's going to remain a fairly strong storm system as it runs up the Texas-Louisiana state line there toward Shreveport and Bossier City. We may have strong winds, possibly even strong enough to cause some damage.

Derrick Smith

Where is the soul of New Orleans? ... Vegas and Utah , parts of Texas, California , Michigan , Baton Rouge. It's all over.

Oliver Thomas

Whatever it is, they have our number. For whatever reason, we don't get the breaks against Texas.

Greg Buchanan

We are in a weak El Nio that started a few months back and is gradually building. Typically what ends up happening is we get more 'cyclogenesis' --the formation of storms -- taking place in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico off of the Texas coast. Once these things form they tend to track towards the Northwest. It puts (Lufkin) in proximity for some rainfall.

Barry Keim

When any of the pros are on tour, and they're traveling through Texas, they're going to stop by because of my contacts.

Mike Crum

I love to play Texas hold 'em. I've found it's such a craze across the nation that I thought it would be a great way to raise money for our nonprofit organizations.

Tom Keith

Finding a resolution to the funding of TWIA and reducing reinsurance costs are essential. Otherwise there is the potential that the state General Revenue Fund could be hit if a major hurricane affected the Texas coast.

Jerry Johns

We're not out to try to steal Dallas from Texas. They came to us.

Paul Sirmons

We're playing as well as we have all year. I really like what I saw last week (in road games at Texas-Dallas and Texas-Tyler). Everybody was on top of their game. Hopefully, we didn't peak a week early.

Don Lofton

We applaud the city of Arlington and the State of Texas for opening their hearts and doors to Gulf Coast evacuees who so desperately needed help.

Sandy Coachman

It is hard to predict how many storm refugees will ultimately come to Texas, and how many will be kids, I think no one knows, I think it's safe to say longer than days. I think we're definitely into weeks and months possibilities.

Debbie Ratcliffe

When you go in facing Texas and Texas Tech, [which] are always up there in the baseball polls, they're going to be ready. It's a Rice-Texas game. It's always a shootout.

Aaron Luna

But no other state gets hit by the severe weather conditions that Texas does.

Mark Hanna

East Texas is a very oil-rich part of the country. There are a lot of mineral owners and people that benefit from revenue in the increase of oil and gas prices.

Scott Shaver

Ever since my husband started playing home games with his buddies, I've been hooked on poker, especially No Limit Texas Hold 'Em.

Cindy Margolis

And I think we're deserving of being there. I think our program is one of the top ones in Texas. When we got the invitation I called a staff meeting and asked our coaches why we shouldn't go to this event, and no one could come up with a reason why not. It's going to be an opportunity our kids may never have another chance to do.

Barry Norton

[A team from the inspector general's office at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has begun inspecting facilities at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston to determine the security of biological samples. The investigation] could last up to four weeks, ... It amounts to an audit.

Tom Curtis

[Theresa's] diverse background and experience make her uniquely suited to fit the needs of our members as we continue to provide the finest programs and services for our existing members, and reach out to new music communities across Texas.

Neil Portnow

That concerns us, the way it transects the ranches in Texas and some of the best wildlife areas.

Kirby Brown

It's looking more and more like there is going to be some acreage down there that is not going to be harvested for grain in Texas and Oklahoma.

Mike Palmerino

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association is considerably under funded in the event a major hurricane makes landfall in Galveston or Corpus Christi. Last year TWIA had a $130 million deficit as a result of losses caused by Hurricane Rita and that would be a drop in bucket had the storm hit Galveston.

Jerry Johns

We'd never beat an upper-echelon team. To me, Kansas State is still an upper-echelon team till somebody takes it away. They still beat Texas Tech [Jan. 4]. How did it measure? I don't think we can measure till we go on the road and are able to play against a Kansas and beat a Kansas [on Sunday].

Gary Blair

You're seeing this a little more in West Texas. A lot of communities are being forced to make tough choices.

Charles Breithaupt

There's no doubt that, especially after George W. Bush's victory in (the Texas election) this past November, that Latinos are now on the national radar, ... New American Foundation.

Gregory Rodriguez

We're not trying to make it out like we're trying to run up the score. We're just worried about Texas Tech and working hard.

Cody Hodges

Then we also have the official sketch that was drawn by an artist, Peter Craig, of what is now the Texas State Flag.

Chris Laplante

The people here are so poorly informed about the oil industry. The record is clear from production in Louisiana and Texas that the oil industry is not a harmful industry, it's a good neighbor.

John Malloy

If you're a little boy growing up in Texas, football is something you're going to do. Even if you don't have much talent, you play as long as you can.

Tim Crowder

With the dedication, determination and relentless efforts of an ever increasing number of devotees and volunteers of all ages, this temple will become will soon become a focal point for Hindus in North Texas to congregate and practice their faith.

Giridhara Gopal

It's silly that we don't have an event in the whole state of Texas. There are plenty of slots (on the schedule) available for us.

Wendy Ward

The purpose of 'Transforming Texas' is to highlight the contributions public higher education institutions make to improve the lives of all Texans. While higher education may be known for its private economic benefit to an individual, its broader public benefit to society is often not conveyed.

Randa Safady

Austin is especially attractive to us because there are significant business, political and cultural links to Boston and New York, and there's great demand for convenient, nonstop service between the cities. And communities in Central Texas (such as) San Antonio and Fredericksburg can benefit from additional service to and from Austin's Bergstrom airport.

Adam Green

Texas has always had committee chairs -- strong and powerful committee chairs -- and to go to a position where you have none or very few, could well mean in the battle for earmarks, Texas has a harder fight at it.

Gary Keith

Right now our feeling is precipitation totals will average 0.25 to 1 inch, with some locally heavier. The coverage should be pretty good. The possible exception to this is in the Texas panhandle, where it might be a little less.

Joel Burgio

She's kept us in a lot of games. She threw a great game against Houston that we lost, 2-0. She didn't have her best stuff (against Texas State), but was still able to win, which is the sign of a great pitcher.

Stacy Gemeinhardt

We've been coming down here to East Texas and this alumni function for the last nine years now. Each year this crowd has gotten bigger and better. I think there's 100-150 people in there tonight.

Bobby Allen

Who fried this boy's brain? The state of Texas did.

Kathryn Kase

In a 10-year period, he became a millionaire, the governor of Texas, and the president of the United States.

Doug Wead

If I had to categorize it, I would say the area of extreme fire conditions extend over a good portion of Texas and Oklahoma. Once we get into mid-February, the problem will probably widen into southern New Mexico and Arizona, but until then the focus will be concentrated on almost all of Oklahoma and most of Texas.

Rick Ochoa

Our main goal now is to get it cleaned up and that is our next project. I am going to meet with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Now that the criminal case is resolved, we are hoping we can get them to be a little more responsive to helping Grayson County get that cleaned up.

Joe Brown and David Brown

I expect to do everything I can to help the team win the Texas game.

Troy Smith

He's the main target for Vince, so he's obviously got some spunk to him. We've played some other teams that try to get their tight end the ball a lot, but not like Texas. They fed him the ball all day and he'd turn it up.

Justin Wyatt

I've always been drawn to Texas. I just want to go on the visit, see what they're trying to do. Everything I've heard from people is that they like Austin.

John Brantley

We ran probably two-thirds of the time, ... It was a different game than what Mike Leach does. They like to pass the ball. Texas will have to be very aware of that Saturday.

Spike Dykes

This outrageous action is crippling border security in Texas, ... We demand that these agents be returned to Texas immediately.

Henry Bonilla

When I was a true freshman (at Texas), I had Ricky Williams and he took a hell of a lot of pressure off me. Obviously the run game helps the pass. Nothing's changed in football.

Major Applewhite

Texas was already in the mix. (Winning the national championship) bumped them up that much more.

John Brantley

If you count Alaska and Texas, seven of the top 10 are in the western United States. Our competitors score better than we do. Oregon's right in there. Our competition is still ahead of us.

Webb Brown

Texas played an opponent that is now 4-2. So that's going to help what has been a pretty weak strength of schedule so far.

Jerry Palm

Texas' own view is this approach is meeting their needs.

Mark Mcclellan

I feel Texas is going to come out of this pretty well.

Christopher Cagan

I filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay not because I'm a Democrat and he's a Republican or even because he drew me out of my congressional seat but because he engaged in corruption to further his plans to disenfranchise voters in Texas.

Chris Bell

I am saying that if somebody sees the ad in TML (the Texas Municipal League's official publication) and chooses to apply now and they are worth considering, we will certainly do that.

Terry Roberts

It's a classic example of what causes a hunting accident in Texas.

Tom Harvey

He told me this is happening all over the state. In the counties that are growing fast, like ours, it's a big problem. He also said it's against the law to relocate coyotes in Texas.

Stephen Doggett

And Texas is definitely in the crosshairs of this hurricane. The (National) Hurricane Center track takes it south of Galveston right now, but we're at least five days out.

John Metz

It ensures that Texas will receive payment for the significant expenses it has incurred in connection with tobacco-caused disease.

Matthew Myers

We continue to make history. Two years ago we reached the pinnacle of Texas high school football, and now this is only the seventh time in history a Texas team is playing a California team.

Jeff Cordell

The potential for carp fishing is considerable. We need to be prepared in Texas if the sport takes off.

Phil Durocher

That's a challenge. This is Texas, and the whole idea of growth management, let alone urban growth boundaries, is not looked on kindly here.

George Adams

NOAA will work with Louisiana and Texas to assess fishing industry damage and long-term impacts to the marine environment.

Bill Hogarth

We're not turning a certain corner or direction. This season is more about continuing last year into this year. Saying that, we know we didn't play as well as we could have last season. Texas State was going to win no matter what. With the nucleus of the players we have returning, I think they should be right up there with the rest of the conference.

Brenda Gray

He did not begin making demands until she was already here in Texas.

Brandi Grissom

Unfortunately, the battleground is Houston, Texas, now, and police don't want innocent people getting harmed by vendettas that are Louisiana-born.

John Bertolini

We're trying to be a port for (entities) outside of San Antonio, outside of Texas, outside of the country.

Councilman Roger Flores

I am personally proud to fight for the cause of open government in the state of Texas.

Greg Abbott

At no time did the Texas Association of Business endorse any candidate, make any political contribution or campaign expenditure.

Roy Minton

I have coached in West Texas and have coached against them. I know we'll have to play well. They usually had a couple of strong players.

Jimmy Dowell

I was very glad they played their football in California and not Texas, because they would have been compared to me.

Ken Hall

Texas has a very strong health care system. Physicians are doing a wonderful job meeting needs under difficult circumstances.

Mark Mcclellan

We are really concerned with fireworks for New Year's Eve. These are really extreme conditions. Texas isn't used to it, and people need to be careful.

Traci Weaver

We've asked for all Texas officials to keep an accurate accounting of costs that are directly related to the relief effort so that we can ensure these are reimbursed.

Steve Mccraw

We just so thank the people of North Dakota for being so generous and supporting the people of Texas and Louisiana.

Dave Peterson

He and I will be at the game, but no, we won't be sitting on same side of the field, ... And besides my son, Sonny, is the co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach at Texas Tech.

Spike Dykes

Texas schools are opening their doors to thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

Annette Griffin

We are determined to keep our Texas freeways free. These highways have already been paid for by our tax dollars. If they try to make us pay toll on it, it is nothing short of double taxation. I think the number of people we have reached and gotten involved is a testament to the depth and breadth of this issue.

Terri Hall

I think it?s ridiculous. I heard it was going to go up and with the Texas thing, we filled up all our cars.

Carlos Rivera

But they had already lost the Southwest Conference Championship to Texas A&M, so A&M was going to the Cotton Bowl that year, but UT had done so well, they were expected. Everyone expected the Rose Bowl to invite Texas to play.

Jim Nicar

World will take little notice today that the state of Texas executed someone who represents the very reason we still need the death penalty.

Dewayne White

If Texas can hang on and get into the fourth quarter and wear them out, they could beat Ohio State, ... I picked Ohio State to play for the national championship, but I love Texas, too.

Lee Corso

Dr. O'Donnell is the right leader for District 78. As a (former) principal, she understands how critical a quality education is for the children of El Paso. Dr. O'Donnell also champions accountability, and reasonable civil justice reforms, while fighting against a state income tax -- she's the right choice for El Paso and Texas needs her leadership.

Anthony Holm

The Texas players were helping us up after plays. So gracious.

Frank Hall

It's time to go on the record of where you stand. Out there somewhere in East Texas, there is a young gay person who is in the closet and struggling with that issue. The debate that we have today is sending a message of what kind of world he is growing up in.

Patrick Franklin

They are presenting an immediate danger to the lives of people in every Texas community and beyond. We strongly urge you to take action now.

Henry Bonilla

Although the tech job gains in Utah seem small, these are significant, compared with California, which has the nation's largest tech employment base. California lost 10,600 jobs in 2004, and Texas, which has the nation's second-largest tech employment, lost 10,500 jobs.

Jessica Wright

Texas institutions need to work on their four- and six-year graduation rates, and we know that is something we need to work on. But, we also know it's not the only thing.

Ray Grasshoff

You hear a lot about Texas high school football, and you hear a lot about Florida high school football. I guess this is gonna be a good time to see how we match up with those guys.

Bobby Bentley

This is an unprecedented event, no state has ever taken in a quarter of a million people virtually over night, including school children, ... So we need to look at different ways of doing things so that Texas isn´t left with the costs of their good deed.

Don Stewart

I already had plans of relocating, ... It was between Florida and Texas. I guess God made that decision for me.

Desean Jackson

The rapid growth of Cedar Park, Leander and the Central Texas region provided an ideal opportunity for us to partner with Seton.

James Shelton

To say what would be here and what would be in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, would be subject to the management team and the union. But would I like to see that Eagle line back in North Canton? Yes, I would.

Jim Repace

We're on the Durango side of the litigation, not the Texas side.

Bill Ritter

Texas Instruments is hitting a new high and that's always encouraging. There are these points of light that are stimulating interest in technology, and it's a developing trend that's positive.

Cummins Catherwood

Texas was settled by people who were willing to fence in their property and protect it. We take seriously the notion that a person's home is his castle, and to protect that castle from the king and his men.

Al Green

Texas 17 is one of the most competitive districts in America. Van Taylor is a great candidate for Republicans in a district that belongs to Republicans.

Jonathan Collegio

It's not like a traditional rodeo. It's judged more on the skill of the cowboy and the rider. We'll have 140 cowboys here. They're coming from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Texas and Mexico, so it is a real big deal.

Karen Laflamme

I don't believe at this point in time that Joey is going to return to North Texas.

Darrell Dickey

We're still very optimistic about our site. We think we have the optimum site in Texas.

Neil Mcdonald

We definitely see Tech on the same level with Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Aaron Harris

A scout from California with the Texas Rangers said, 'Who's that kid? I said, 'He's a high school kid.' I didn't tell him he was my son. ... Other scouts said, 'You know how to evaluate everybody else but your own kid.

Tom Kotchman

We did fairly well considering we've only had most of the girls for about a week and the Texas schools were in their third or fourth meet.

Robert Garrison

We've been talking about state all year long like every team in the state of Texas. But with this group here, we try to really, really tell them that they've got a chance for it.

Brian Keith

I visited Texas in January, and guess what? All ... of these addresses are bogus.

Gregory Kutz

The pending complaint on DeLay was on the Texas case (over political fund raising).

Norman Ornstein

George W. Bush has not been there even though he is the governor of Texas. When Sen. Lieberman goes there he will be there one more time than the governor of Texas.

Joe Andrew

At the end of the day we're going to ask you to return Marcus to the Texas Youth Commission to continue his treatment program with some other time or some other place review if necessary.

Jon Evans

It really feels good to win our last home game. We knew that we would have to play hard to beat North Texas. I wanted to go out with a bang.

Yemi Nicholson

The people of Texas A&M and the community have accepted us with open arms, and when I say that, I'm not just talking about our team, but everyone in the Tulane family. We have all of our student-athletes here and enrolled and we are thankful to be here and begin the semester on the Texas A&M campus. Our thoughts and prayers, however, are with the city of New Orleans and our campus.

Dave Dickerson

He also orchestrated the sale to Chemical Bank, which brought $1.4 billion of shareholder value when everybody else was selling out for nothing. I think TCB would have survived and struggled with the Texas economy, but Ben had the foresight to say let's join up with a stronger partner and not go through the agony of other banks. Why fight this battle alone?

Phil Conway

This is primarily because of a decrease in investment and speculative real estate activity in those markets. That investment activity has been moving away from California and into Texas, where the housing market has not yet peaked.

Brad Geisen

Refineries in Texas did not take a direct hit from Rita, but the energy grids in that area were effected, and power has not been restored to those refineries.

Alan Wright

We get more inquiries from California kids than anywhere else. California and Texas, I?d say, make up for almost 50 percent of the inquiries.

Jack Siedlecki

Texas has about a 40 percent match, so that would just have been millions upon millions of dollars.

Chris Paulitz

Authorities are worried. Our fire conditions, as far as the grasses and the brush, in all of Texas except for the coast are in extreme fire danger.

Ron Perry

Dedication, commitment, passion, integrity are all characteristics that are exemplified by the ... law-enforcement agencies that worked long and hard to make south-central Oklahoma and north Texas a safer place ...

Gary Olenkiewicz

It is different with it being a rivalry. We feel we have the better team. We have something not only to prove to ourselves but to the other teams that we're the better team in East Texas.

Andre Payne

These encouraging results could not have occurred without the contributions that law enforcement partners throughout Texas have made to traffic safety.

Carlos Lopez

When A&M and Texas play, it's on. We're not going to have any trouble being motivated for the series.

Rob Childress

We have evacuees all across Texas in hotels and we encourage those families to enroll the schoolchildren in school districts in the area once they're situated.

Suzanne Marchman

My whole take is that it's important for Americans to have weapons, and down in Texas, people carry all the time, and they're usually pretty responsible. But when someone fired a gun off at me, that's abusing that right.

Lillian Berlin

I shall die a Texas independent. I think that this governor has so politically fractured this state that the only way to get something done is to set aside the partisan politics.

Carole Keeton Strayhorn

We lost a friend, almost a person. He has helped make the track as popular as he is -- not only in Louisiana, but Texas people, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. We want to name a race after him and we want to bury him on the track.

Leroy Adcock

I graduated from junior college. Ohio State is going over my transcripts to make sure I have all the classes to go there. It's either Ohio State or Texas A&M.

Larry Grant

Greg has been a true friend to the dealer body going all the way back to his days in Texas. We will miss his warmth, candor and support.

Sam Pack

I was with Travis in Texas in 2002 and I saw it then. It was just a matter of time before he started doing this.

Todd Hollandsworth

Texas had 25 commitments last summer. They will see a major, major effect next year. It will make things even easier for them in Texas, but it might open the door for a kid in California or might open the door for a kid in Florida.

Jeremy Crabtree

With his Hollywood looks, he was typecast to play the governor of the great state of Texas.

Kathy Walt

If we can get over there and get our first conference win, that will certainly help us with some momentum coming home (Saturday) to play Texas State.

Leonard Drake

In the debate earlier in Austin, (Texas) came perilously close to getting an income tax.

Stephen Moore

We'll crawl, walk and then run. But what's exciting to us is the platform looks like it is going to transfer to Atlanta and Charlotte and Texas. You might be in a different state, but the air is the same everywhere you go, and that's what we're working on.

Gary Nelson

These were two hard-working individuals and they poured their heart and soul into this program. They know that change is in the interests of the University of Texas.

Chris Plonsky

I definitely think this helps put Tennessee on the map. The bigger states like Texas and North Carolina get all the exposure because they have the better players.

Jordan Leedle

Texas gives out money based on the number of voters you've got. It's basically a county-by-county system.

Jim Edwards

Their work on behalf of the state of Texas was absolutely appropriate, and a good return on our investment.

Rachael Novier

Texas is a special case. The number of both legal and illegal immigrants has grown faster in Texas than in other major states.

Jeffrey Passel

I think that [Texas coach] Rick Barnes will have had to have upset a couple of guys and have them quit. That would probably help. I think [Texas forward] P.J. [Tucker] is probably going to go to class now. I don't know.

Kelvin Sampson

This was an important quarter in the transition of Texas Instruments.

Tom Engibous

Katrina definitely changed people's perspective on hurricanes. I think the complacency may have been eroded away, and that is a good thing for Texas because, hopefully, people will now be more aware and they will heed evacuation orders.

John Metz

East Texas needs everyone's attention this hour, right now, and it doesn't matter whether it's the state or FEMA or the Corps of Engineers. I don't really care whose fault it is. It needs help now. These communities are the last to complain, but they've reached the end.

Kevin Brady

It's a big time opportunity for Austin and Texas to showcase itself to the tech world, that this is a great place should they ever consider expanding.

Dave Porter

What I'm hearing is that more and more we are topping the $3 a gallon mark in Texas.

Rose Rougeau

Caring for your dead is legal in Texas. Most people don't know their rights. They don't know what they can ask for.

Joshua Slocum

All this country came up and was part of a bison eco-system. Texas ecology is about the grassland.

Kirby Brown

I don't see where we have to wait for Texas or Baylor to have a bad year for us to move up. We can have a good year at the same time.

Gary Blair

A welcomed relief from severe mid-December weather precipitated sales surges in the Midwest and Northeast. However, other parts of the country experienced just the opposite trend because of the ice storm which paralyzed parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

William Ford

The whole state has migrated. I've heard that as far as west Texas on I-20, there were no hotel rooms to be had.

Bill Webster

This is Texas. We don't have Walter Cronkite and Ted Kennedy whining about their back yards.

Jerry Patterson

In Texas, we've got to come up with revenue somehow. All the easy means are gone.

Michael Granof

We feel at home. Very nice to have the opportunity to have a couple of hours of happiness. We're used to it when you play in California and in Texas, but not normally this deep into the U.S. I'm glad they're here and they're producing.

Leonardo Cuellar Rivera

He's a Texas boy, so he likes his meat. And that's what we gave him.

Herbert Spiegel

Is going to plague him not only in his second term but in history — even in Texas.

Cal Jillson

We hope to make contacts and develop relationships with Cuban officials so that Southeast Texas rice farmers can export their fine products into this country in the future.

Nick Lampson

Texas, of course, has a large minority population, and it has a very religious population compared to the rest of the nation.

David Popenoe

We have volunteers ready from all other areas in Texas to send manpower to help.

Leslie Lockett

It's become one of the deadliest lakes in Texas in the last few years. It has cloudy water, a lot of brush and the bottom is uneven. In one step you could go from being 3-feet deep in the water, then having it over your head.

Roger Wade

What we're getting in the way of help from the weather up here, we're not getting down there (in Texas).

Jim Hill

We've had success here against them [Texas A&M] the past three years. Ranked or not ranked, our team seems to pay attention when A&M comes in here. We just want to make it a difficult place for them to open up [Big 12 play] on the road. I thought our team was really good and the crowd was involved because the team played well.

Ray Bechard

Juan has built off of the success he had late in year with Texas. He has tried to solidify his status and is trying to compete for one of the open spots in the rotation. I think it is important that they are realizing that this is part of the opportunity to build and get better.

John Lombardo

The vast majority of Texas businesses faithfully follow the law but consumers should also be aware that disasters are a prime opportunity for unscrupulous businesses to inflate prices or commit fraud.

Greg Abbott

In Texas, (undocumented students) are allowed to attend college but they won't be able to work in the U.S. even if they graduate with a 4.0.

We use it as a fundraiser for the Texas Lions Camp.

They have big shoes to fill. As the defending state champions there are a lot of expectations on them. Defending the state title is not our focus. We want to develop chemistry, play well as a team and learn to compete. All that is going to prepare us for the toughest district in the state of Texas.

Kevin Albury
