Book excerpt: Texas pride, like everything else in the state, is larger than life. So, too, perhaps, are the state’s challenges. Lone Star Tarnished approaches public policy in the nation’s most populous "red state" from historical, comparative, and critical perspectives. The historical perspective provides the scope for asking how various policy domains have developed in Texas history. In each chapter, Cal Jillson compares Texas public policy choices and results with those of other states and the United States in general. Finally, the critical perspective allows readers to question the balance of benefits and costs attendant to what is often referred to as "the Texas way" or "the Texas model" and to assess the many claims of Texas’s exceptionalism. Through Jillson’s lively and lucid prose, students are well equipped to analyse how Texas has done and is doing compared to selected states and the national average over time and today. This text is aimed at students and professors of Texas politics who want to stress history, political culture, and public policy. New to the Fourth Edition Fully updated to include the most recent Texas elections and political events Covers the 2019 legislative session Highlights new population data, with projections forward to 2050, recently released by the U.S. Census and the Texas State Data Center. Explores the dramatic increases in Texas oil and gas production and their impact on global and U.S. prices and on the profitability and the viability of many Texas producers in light of the recent plunge in prices. All figures and tables include the most recent data available.

Book excerpt: BORDER RUN When a Mexican national captures the murder of an innocent couple on video, Mack Bolan is tasked with protecting the young man and delivering his evidence to authorities. But then the killer turns out to be a high-powered cartel boss intent on destroying any trace of his crime—including the witness. Suddenly the man with the video is running for his life, and Bolan has no choice but to join the chase. A hired assassin and his army of trained killers outnumber Bolan in the unfamiliar Mexican territory, and he must rely on quick thinking and guerrilla-style tactics to wipe out the enemy and ensure the safety of the one man who can shutter the gang's operations for good. The cartel is fighting dirty, but the Executioner is about to lay down his signature brand of cleansing fire.

Book excerpt: This year, 2013, marks the 70th anniversary of the Littlefield double murder of a young doctor and his wife and 100th anniversary of the founding of Littlefield. The recounting of the epic history of the murder of Dr. Roy Hunt in 1943, as we researched it, culminated in the first edition of Clovis Road. We felt it was an imperfect success. It got the riveting story out to a new generation, but it only answered some, but not all, the lingering questions for the Texans of 1943. We can announce that a motion picture project is now in development by a film production company, Mulligan Life, headed up by Ms. Anna Nupson. Many people from all over the United States came forward with treasured papers, secret stories, and photographs about family and old friends involved in the Hunt murder. So, we wish to thank the anonymous citizens of Littlefield who have come forth as well as the local newspaper publisher. Also, the families of W. R. Newton, and Jim Thomas provided new amazing details. More citizens of Cameron, some named, like a former district attorney, and some who want to remain unnamed, came forward with more of the story. Volunteer investigators have helped with research and photography. Richly revealing new information and interviews since 2009 require a second edition. With this rewrite we wish to sharpen the key characters and shift the focus of the motive of the terrible murder. We, and the readers who responded, have done both. After three more years of research there are new photos of Roy, Ruth, Dr. Billy, Mae, Mr. LaFont and Mr. Jim Thomas. Also, there is a new chapter, many more illustrations, 232 total pages (212 text versus 169 in first edition) , a new font, more than a dozen new stories, and 4500 words of new text.

Book excerpt: Kid, youd better get home... your parents are going to be looking for you. Dont you know its getting late and dark? Get home, kid! It was getting late, and I was shooting by the light of the moon, but I was forty years old, and my parents turned me loose many years ago. I may have looked like a kid who should be out getting ready for a trick-or-treat journey, but I was on a basketball mission -- and when I told the concerned visitors that I would be OK for the night, and that I was over forty, they were a bit shocked.
