Correction

Quick lesson in Texas government and laws. 1) Texas has no laws, other than local ones. All state laws are modifications to the state Constitution. Thus they are called Statutes, on the main. 2) State laws do NOT expire in Texas. They stay on the books permanently. 3) In order to cancel a law in Tex...

ARGH - Part 3

Location and Occupation

From what I read in the archives, I've come to the general conclusion that Nip and Tuck are supposedly in Texas. (from the speech patterns, they'd have to be from the Big Thicket). Is this correct?
