Glad you're here.  We have a good number of members but most don't contribute much.  Most articles are about politics but anything is welcome (except for religion; too many fights).  So enjoy. You can say just about anything you want as long as it's not directed at another member.

I'm happy you suggested this sub-board. Maybe we'll have enough members now to make it worthwhile.

Been here since yesterday when someone reached out to me when I could no longer post. I have reached out to slyfox who is considering joining. I never did change my alias when I moved out to the Hill Country in 2011, but remember fondly the marches at the Capitol in 2000.I met some great FReepers: basil, TheBatLady, TheSarce (may she rest in peace), anymouse, DrewsDad, and many others. Went shooting with the ladies, had the Texas HOT chapter at my house for meetings. Good times. Glad to see so many Texans here! :patriot:

Invite others.

Speaking of @Bigun , I noticed on TOS the other day, on the state board, that most of the Texas posters were less than enthusiastic about DT.  Bigun was mentioned as being outwardly not-DT.  Now for several days, I haven't seen a single post on that board and I can't get to it from the main page.  Not sure what that means.  Maybe nothing.

If anyone still has an account, they could go and see if the state boards have been chopped or if its just TX

The link to the Texas FR board worked. It looks like many of them are not happy about Jim Rob is doing.

WhyisaTexasgirlinPA, Ditter, jagusfr and others seem to support whoever is nominated but don't seem to feel welcome anymore.

Maybe someone with an FR account could tell them about the Briefing Room.

Ugg....Jane Long is one of the biggest Trump trolls there.  I don't even bother with that board now.

I was born in Dallas, moved to Houston in the late 1970's....only moved back to Dallas in 2010 and been here ever since.

Native Texan here, spending the next three or so weeks with my daughter in NYC.  And am enjoying the heck out of this trip.

I have hosted the TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot for the past ten years.  If anyone is interested, the 11th annual will be held this October in Hicksville.  FYI - the shoot is not about FR, it is to honor a truly wonderful Texas man.
