A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!"

Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town.

The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"

The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."

I believe the Texas Beer Joint sues the Church is true story.

TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES A CHURCH.....
In a small Texas town, ( Mt. Vernon ) Drummond's bar began construction on a new building to increase their business.

The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers.

Work progressed right up till the week before opening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise in its reply to the court.

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, 'I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not.'

TEXAS TECH BUSINESS SCHOOL GROUNDBREAKING


LUBBOCK (Lubbock Avalanche-Journal) – Texas Tech officials have broken ground on a $70 million business college to replace the existing 1960s business building.

The 147,500-sf Jerry S. Rawls College of Business at Ninth St. and Flint Ave. will be the anchor for the north entrance to the campus.

Part of the funding comes from $20 million in private donations raised by administrators, and students will pay an additional $18 per class credit.

PORT'S EARLY BOARDING OF INGLESIDE NAVY BASE


INGLESIDE (Corpus Christi Caller) – The Port of Corpus Christi will assume control of Naval Station Ingleside in April 2010 instead of September.

Officials say that the ability to begin redevelopment plans sooner is worth the $4 million it could cost to maintain and secure the base five months earlier than originally planned. The early overtake will also allow the port to keep the fire department, which services the City of Ingleside, running.

The port has hired the Texas A&M University System to plan and implement the redevelopment of the base’s 1,000-plus acres, as well as the 433 neighboring port-owned acres.

The Navy has not yet decided how to dispose of 155 surplus acres known as the Electromagnetic Roll Facility.

The Navy will shut down the base in April but remain on it until September.

NATIONAL BOARD APPROVES MAYS PROGRAM


COLLEGE STATION (Mays Business School) – Graduates of Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School Master of Real Estate program from 2004 through 2012 can now boast a more valuable degree: the program was recently approved by the Appraisal Qualifications Board of The Appraisal Foundation.

The Mays program is one of two programs in the United States to receive approval thus far.

“The significance of the certification approval is that it gives our students a real advantage in the job market,” says Cydney Donnell, executive professor of finance and director of real estate programs at Mays.

This seal of approval was created to simplify the appraiser certification process at the state level, as graduates from approved programs are guaranteed to have the required coursework needed for certification.

The approval process benefits both state appraiser regulatory agencies in their review of an applicant’s qualifications as well as graduate degree applicants seeking a real property appraiser credential.

“It is our hope that this program will relieve the burden on state regulators in reviewing transcripts submitted for credit towards a state credential. In addition, the program will assist graduates in obtaining credit for the work they have done to earn advanced degrees from these institutions,” said Gary Taylor, chairman of the Appraiser Qualifications Board, the organization responsible for evaluating programs.

Prior to her trip to Texas , Buffy (a blonde New Yorker), confided to her co-workers she had three goals for her trip to the Lone Star State:

1. She wanted to taste some real Texas Bar-B-Que.

2. She wanted to see an honest to goodness REAL Texas Rodeo.

3 And last, but not least, she wanted to have sex with a real cowboy .


Upon returning, the girls were curious as to how she fared.

'Let me tell you, they have a tree down there called a Mesquite and when they slow cook that brisket over that Mesquite , it's ooooh so good. The meat is unbelievably tender and the taste is fantastic!'

'And I went to a real rodeo. Talk about athletes... Those guys ride BULLS and they wrestle full grown steers! They ride horses at a full gallop, then jump off the horses and grab the steer by the horns and throw them to the ground! It is just incredible!

They then asked, 'Well tell us , did you have sex with a real cowboy?'

'Hell NO!! When I saw the outline of the condom they carry in the back pocket of their jeans, I changed my mind!'
