TEXAS...specifically El Paso

The El Paso City Council once voted to spend over $100,000 for private security to guard the city police station.

El Paso is known as the "Sun City." The sun shines in El Paso 302 days per year on average.

El Paso has a unique claim to fame when it comes to heralding itself as a Texas capital. With a plethora of boot companies calling the city home, it eventually designed itself as the state's "Boot-making Capital." Tony Lama was the town's first boot maker, setting up shop back in 1911.

TEXAS...

A statue of Will Rogers and his horse, Soapsuds, stands on the Texas Tech campus. According to local legend, the statue, which was donated by a long-time friend of Rogers, was meant to be pointing west so that Rogers and his horse would be headed for the sunset (as it said on the plaque attached to the base). However, facing the sunset would have meant the horse's tail end would be pointed toward downtown, which would have sent a, well, mixed message to the university's supportive business community. Another adjustment considered would have sent an equally insulting message to the administrative office. Instead, horse and rider were adjusted 23 degrees to the northwest, so that today, Soapsuds' rear end is perpetually pointed toward Texas A&M.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) as made "Don't Mess With Texas" practically the state motto. In fact, TxDOT has turned "Don't Mess With Texas" bumper stickers, hats, t-shirts, etc. into quite the side business.

Wildflowers are a big deal along the highways, thanks to Lady Bird Johnson. Due to her efforts, the Texas Department of Transportation has been sowing from 30,00 - 60,000 pounds of flower seeds (most of them our state flower,bluebonnets) along highways every year. The TxDOT Travel Division even has a Wildflower Information Hotline to help people find the most colorful patches of highway.
