I just got a phone call from a friend who has much better connections to the situation and its progress than I do.
He tells me that the latest report is that Tex is not only conscious but is talking.
Tex is in the ICU on the second floor of Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

Tex is speaking? The hospital will never be the same again. They'll all be speaking Texenese from now on.
Get well soon Buddy.

Wally, I don't know how to break it to you, but Dallas is in Texas and they already speak God's preferred tongue.

I know that but Tex's version has always had a flair all his own. By the way I thought they spoke Texican vs Tex's, Texenese.

Wally, lad,
Yaw'll ain't a herin too good, maybe?
'cept for J. Frank Dobie, amongst the decedents of them what was in the the revolution, I can't find any that approves of that damnyankeelike awkward soundin "Texican" utterance. And let's not dis-remember that J. Frank was known as Pancho and darn near spoke Texan as a second language. Fine gentleman, scholar, and ultra-liberal that he was, he was as near a wet back as a Texan (but what the hey, so many of us are.....our people, ya know).
