March 2, 2026 - The 190th anniversary of Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico.

Bad news is coming in a few days from the Alamo, but the Texians have cemented themselves as sovereigns instead of rebels. That will be an important distinction in our dealings with America and others soon. Between those at the Alamo and Refugio on this day, and the signatories below, you have a good chunk of all the town and county names in modern day Texas.
