Speaking of Texas, I was just speaking to (about 30 minutes ago) the former "high constable" of Denton County?
He had some interesting stories to say the least, about Mexicans, incidents on the job, etc. Cool guy, but the accent?

He was lost, and enroute to Boston. Needless to say, he made the wrong turn

 

Denton County is just north of Dallas county

 

Yup, that's what he said. He covered a 200 square mile area when he was on the road (late 80's). Sounds just like the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) that cover the rural areas up here, but without the Mexicans

He gave me a little "police angel" pin

 

Well isn't that special.....

 

I guess I've live too long now. I've been to every town in the vid at least once. My family even settled Bulverde before Texas was a state and the land was free. Still have relatives there and the land is like gold now. My great aunt, who is still alive and kickin' backside, grew up around the Bulverde area and lived on Tabacco Road... literally. No phone, no running water, no indoor plumbing. It was a 4 room shack with one light in the middle of the hall, that's all. Now, she's a millionaire and still can out work most men. Neat vid, thanks for posting.

 

I didn't think so, but he was trying to be kind. He told me to love my family and kids and, blah, blah, blah. You know, typical Texan type

 

God am I glad I got out of Texas.. I am from houston and lived there my entire life. Glad I just moved up to oklahoma.. Houston and most of texas are considered the pits of the US... Only exception is Austin. BEAUTIFUL city.

 

Dude just on THIS page you have 6 threads, you post *****

 

I miss Texas. Born in LaGrange and raised in Flatonia and Columbus then moved to Austin after school. Left in the late 80's and never been back.
I've been to maybe half the places in the video. Kept waiting to see Praha or Engle mentioned but I guess he missed those.

 

All I know about Texas is:

It takes 17 hours to drive through pulling a small u haul.

And the property tax is outrageous.

 

property tax evens out.. other states just put it somewhere else or call it something else oklahoma has a "state income tax" they take from checks... texas doesnt..

 

nice video thanks for sharing.

 

i've even been to Bigfoot Texas. I do love that state.

 

SoCal? and you say texas has outrageous taxes?
