Handbook of Texas
R. Alex Whitlock
I was looking up information on college name changes for a future post when I ran across the
Handbook of Texas Online. It's a great source for anything related to Texas. It has universities, people, and about every town imaginable (including my father's tiny town of
Enloe, population 113).
The search function is mad-wack. Type in Texas A&M and Texas A&M will appear on page four million and certain queries (without any special characters) will turn in errors. Beyond that, it's an invaluable resource that I'll be taking advantage of a lot in the future.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
