A few resources for Texans

[Adnil]

This past year I noticed that a handful of dirty kids were starting to settle down due to age, pregnancy, a life preference, etc. It can be hard building a foundation when you lack the basics so I did a little research and grabbed a few links & numbers to help those in need. I originally planned to make a list for every state, but only came to making a list for those in Texas (sorry!). Anywho, enjoy

Awesome blossom. Thanks for posting up... Texas is somewhere in a handful of states I would like to consider in the future. Been there once (SA en Wichita? was it) and maybe in my future again.
Can't remember the name of that club...

Thanks for the post.

Thank you for the appreciation
Coming from a biased point of view (Texan), I find Texas to be a fantastic state. Rather you're just passing by or settling, we sure have our perks.

Pretty perks indeed.

Insomnia makes me a flirty boy...

I dig when someone posts up a coherent list like this it's cool... I try to save it in a doc for future reference... and with time maybe I can compile an aggregate of resources. I know we did a bit of that with a wiki but that that was put on a back burner.

Even if it's just what I save... if I have stuff saved on HD... I figure info will be always easy to transfer to those that need it via pen drives or whatever.
I hope to set up a few folders of resources and carry a few usb sticks in the future at all times.

Already got a rudimentary train folder... sailing... pdfs... ::eyepatch::

I tried making it convenient for those interested Which is why I originally wanted to build more detailed lists for every state.
I'd like to get a glimpse of your drives of resources when you're satisfied with the information stored enough to share! I'm sure there are numerous notes that I can take from it. Smart planning on your behalf.

This is really cool, we should make a whole database of this type of information for every state, and other countries on stp. This is super useful!

Thank you. As stated, my original plan was to cover more states, but knowing that it was going to flood this thread I decided to only focus on my home state . That being said, STP has my vote to make a database of said information.

@Adnil where in texas are you? i'm in austin.

also i'll add the resources thread prefix to this. if you want to list resources for other states, you should do each one in a new thread

thanks!
