New guy here, west Houston suburbs, reporting for the first time. Lurked on TOS for 16 years before I finally decided to join in discussions, then quickly decided I didn't like the sound and attitude of a Trump echo chamber. Been lurking here for a few weeks and I've seen so many neighbors I decided to go public.
Not a native Texan, rather a native Tennessean, but I've been living here since '92, come to think of it just a bit longer than I lived in Tennessee. Cousins of mine have ancestry here since before The Alamo, and I can see my family name on the San Jacinto monument, but I still prefer Bluegrass and George Dickel to Western Swing and Shiner Bock. Nevertheless, when Texas finally does secede, I'll be joining up, wearing a coonskin cap.
