I'm sure it is good story too. *Any* story to do with Texas is apt to be good, I mean, how can it not be? (That's a completely rhetorical question.) Everybody knows the fact that everything is bigger, and by implication, better, in the great state of Texas. Let's hear it for Texas! On a slightly less obnoxious note, tomorrow is the Texan equivalent of the American 4th of July. On March 2, 1836, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed.[1] The siege of the Alamo happened the same month, and Texas won its independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836.[2] On December 29, 1845, after nine years of sovereignty, Texas was annexed into the Union.
