Re: Moving to Texas. Any advice?

unoffical & fickman:

Thank you for the update on Hank Hill's birthplace. As Johnny Carson used to say to Ed McMahon: "I did not know that."


**************************************************************************************************************************************************

I used to know a gal who was a native of "The Colony" Texas (Denton County, between Lewisville, Plano, and Frisco) and
she was in the US Army, as well as her husband. Their son was born in Virginia while they were stationed there. I believe
she gave birth to him and returned to Weatherford, Texas (Parker County, west of Fort Worth) within a month or two after
he was born. He never left Texas again once he was back.

She always fretted that he was not a native Texan, due to his Virginia birth. :-)

Re: Moving to Texas. Any advice?

Hank Hill is NOT a native Texan? We are talking about Hank Hill of "King of the Hill" aren't we?

Although I haven't seen all of the episodes, where has it ever been stated that he isn't a native Texan?

The creator of the show, Mike Judge, lived in Richardson and Garland, Texas (Dallas/Collin Counties) and
Hank Hill's fictional town of "Arlen, Texas" is an approximation of Garland.

OP: You'll like anyplace in Texas. It's all gun friendly. Since your business needs personal visits (as opposed to an
Internet type biz) you will probably want to locate in a suburban/exurban area of a big city. IIRC, Houston is the
undisputed king of business expansions within the Lone Star.

Keep in mind that much of Texas is urban/suburban, so there may be plenty of traffic.

Your CHL allows you to carry as many weapons as you can conceal. When you take your CHL course, make sure to
qualify with a semi-automatic. That will allow you to carry SA's OR revolvers. If you take your shooting test on a
revolver, you will be restricted to revolver carry only.

If you wish to shoot on your own property, you must have a minimum of 10 acres, and no projectile will be allowed
to leave your property line.

Be conservative, don't be a cranky Yankee, and things will go just fine.


As Lyle Lovett sings:
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway!
