I am planning a short road trip for my two nieces (16 and 18) and I need some ideas. We have 5 days available in July. It doesn’t have to be in texas as long as we can get there and back in our 5 day time frame.

Come to Dallas & take them to Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, Ranger baseball game, Dallas World Aquarium, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Palace of Wax, & Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament.

What areas or counties of texas are most fertile or conducive to growing the most food/crops? What grows best in the area that you mention?

In the panhandle and near the panhandle wheat grows good. Amarillo, Lubbock , Hardaman county and on down to Vernon and Witatal Falls. The grass looks bad, but it is full of minerals and vitamins that is good for cattle. Around Abiline, Anson and Hamlin, cotton grows very good. In the houston area, peanuts, rice and pecans grow very good. I would say each area is fertile for the crops that it grows.

I want to do something special for my sisters high school graduation. I know she would love to go to texas, Tennessee, or Maine. I am kind of leaning towards Texas, but I don’t know where in Texas, I want to take her somewhere that has a lot to do. Also we are rodeo people so a city that maybe has a big rodeo in the summer? Can anyone help me out? Any other suggestions are welcomed!

I live in houston and there’s a lot to do here, but I hate to say that our crime rate is rising. Where I would suggest is either San Antonio or austin. In San Antonio you have the River Walk and that’s
great! Either place you can have a lot of fun. Good luck

You will need more than a Texas state map to truly appreciate the dynamic state of Texas. When people talk about Texas they usually think of Ranches, Cattle and country. There is much more to Texas than any amount of details I can give, so you will have to experience Texas yourself. For now, I am going to share only a few of my thoughts about this “larger than life” state of Texas.

Some of the colleges I am going to list may actually be on certain versions of the Texas state map. Here are a few of the colleges we have in Texas; Southern Methodist University, A & M, University of Texas in Dallas, Texas Tech, Baylor University (Dallas and houston), Texas Women’s University and many more.

Entertainment throughout Texas is phenomenal!

When we were looking for a texas state map to find Austin, it did not show the fact that it is a little talent pool of musicians and artists or that it has the most wonderful atmosphere for those of us that are the laid back types. If you like style and quality over quantity, austin is a very nice, natural place to be. You don’t see that on a map! Constantly being developed, Dallas never stops growing! Think of the entertainment and nightlife in a city that is always evolving. The revitalization of downtown is booming with coffee shops, unique bars, casual and upscale restaurants and they are consciously re-developing in a way that is pedestrian friendly. In addition, there is great shopping in Uptown, Addison and North Dallas areas that are fun and always happening, and within minutes of each other!

The Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, The Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas and the Cullen Performance Hall in Houston, offer wonderful venues for Ballet, Opera and Symphony. With literally so much culture and activities in Texas, it is hard to keep up with and actually see everything!

The great diversity in Texas offers variety and dimension to our communities from one city to the next. Texas has also become a popular destination for opportunity seekers. As small and large companies choose Texas for their headquarters, our continuous growth and cultural activities are ever expanding. If you simply look at a Texas state map it is impossible to see everything this wonderful state has to offer. There are no mountains, but there is an area named the gorgeous “Hill Country” but we will save that for another of Texas’ wonderful attributes.

Always remember to look for the most current Texas state map. Some maps will have attractions and entertainment plotted within the travel directions. This more detailed map will sometimes have places of interest you may have never heard of. This kind of detailed map will make it easier to find such attractions. Please, take this from a directionally challenged person like myself.

There are so many fun things to do in Texas, whether it’s for a vacation or even a short getaway, you won’t be disappointed.

Does anyone know the schools in Texas that offer hospitality management or event planning degrees? It’s hard to find a concise list on the internet. I’m planning on becoming a wedding coordinator, and I would like a major that relates to that (instead of a business, or interior design, or something like that)

P.S. Not to be rude, but I don’t care if you think the school’s program is sub-standard. I’m just needing to know ALL of the choices in texas.

Information is below.

How come people think texas is so uneducated and behind the rest of the US? Don’t they know that some of the biggest and most high tech industry’s are here in Texas? For instance, people know that Texas is a big place for computers, since places like Dell, Apple computers and numerous other computer related companies like that are here? Also, don’t people know that Texas is, at least right now, one of the most financially sound places in the US? Are people just naive?

That’s what their libbie teachers in the superior public education and state-run schools tell them. Maybe it’s good for their self esteems, I dunno.

For the first time in 22 years Texans will now need to evaluate their auto insurance policies to be sure their limits of liability will meet or exceed the state required minimum auto liability insurance requirements.

Texas liability insurance requirements have just been changed. Effective today, April 1, 2008, the minimum amount of automobile liability insurance for Texas drivers will increase from the current $20,000/$40,000/$15,000 (20/40/15) coverage to a new 25/50/25 coverage requirement.

The state of texas will be checking on policyholders with a new Texas Financial Responsibility Verification Program this spring that allows police officers and highway patrol to immediately verify whether a driver has car insurance.

There is no getting around the new Texas liability insurance requirements, and every city and county will be affected by this rate increase.

The new Texas liability insurance requirements are: $25,000 per person minimum for bodily injury liability damages with a 50,000 minimum per occurrence for bodily injury. The required property damage minimum has now been increased to 25,000.

What does this mean in layman’s terms?

1. 25,000 per person means, your carrier may pay up to 25,000 for each individual you cause bodily injury to by way of and automobile accident.

2. 50,000 per occurrence, refers to more than one person suffering bodily injury due to you being negligent or liable in this single automobile accident.

3. 25,000 for property damage, points to the amount your carrier may pay for property damage you cause due to your negligence in a single automobile accident.

Why did this change come about?

In 2007, the 80th Texas legislature amended the law that stipulates Texas automobile liability insurance requirements. The change was made in response to growing concerns that limits to date were insufficient to reach the rising costs of medical treatment and vehicle repair and replacement. The new minimum limits on Texas liability insurance requirements are intended to safeguard the interests of citizens involved in accidents on both sides of the collision.

While the increase may seem exorbitant at face value, it really isn’t that much of a hit to Texas pocketbooks.

The average person can expect to pay only a marginal additional amount on his or her monthly premiums, and most insurance agencies are already factoring in the necessary rates to make the adjustment a smooth transition for their clients.

However, refusing to honor the new Texas minimum liability requirements can result in financial penalties far more costly than an extra ten dollars or so per month.

According to the state’s new financial responsibility law, a first conviction for refusal to upgrade minimum auto liability insurance will result in a fine no less than $175.00 and no more than $350.00.

For some policyholders, this fine would be more than the 3 times the rate increase for the entire year!

Subsequent violations can carry penalties ranging from $350.00 to $1000.00, suspension of your license, and the towing and impounding of your vehicle. This will in turn create the necessity of the dreaded SR-22 filing and even higher rates on your auto insurance.

It is also important to consider that while this mandatory adjustment may be an inconvenience to some, it can be a critical awakening to others. There are many Texans who unfortunately have not reviewed the liability limits of their automobile insurance since their policy was initially purchased. Because of this, many of their assets are dangerously at risk should they be found liable in an automobile accident.

Higher liability insurance requirements protects these assets which may have increased over the years and are vulnerable to loss if a person is ruled at fault.

Please contact your current agency or Texas Auto Home Insurance immediately for a free evaluation of your current policy to ensure you meet with minimum liability insurance requirements and have the best rates possible for your particular vehicle and lifestyle.

What method do the texas state trooper use to calculate body fat if you are over by height and weight standards? Is it the same as the Army uses? I need to be at 23.1% for state trooper and i am at 24% by Army standards just wondering what they use and if i’ll be ok.

If your ass can fit into the car you should be ok.

How does the revised Texas curriculum plan to disprove separation of church and state as proposed by the founding fathers?

It will be changing historical fact in order to discredit everything by Jefferson, Paine, the federalist papers and instead reinforce the false and misguided ultra right wing notion that this is a Christian nation.

Teaching creationism in school, by the way, is not in the plan, but if it is taught, it will be found to be unconstitutional, as has already been found to be true in state courts around the nation.

If this foolish idea passes muster, then Texas can rejoin the ranks of the least effective school systems in the nation. Something like what the SBOE proposes will certainly allow texas to become the worst school system in the nation, dragging down other school systems when they have to replace textbooks with the lies and garbage that the Texas SBOE proposes.
