The State of Texas is a southern state of the United States of America, the second-largest after Alaska.

Texas was admitted into the Confederate States of America in March 1861.

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas. Two days later, Oswald was murdered by gangster-wannabe Jack Ruby.

Abbie Carmichael attended the University of Texas.
