Category: Getting to Know You
Hi! I've lived in Texas since I was three; I moved here from California. Who all here is from Texas? If so, were you born in Texas, or were you born somewhere else?
Well guess what, I'm from Texas. I was born in Japan when my Dad was stationed over there with the Air Force and then when I was two, we moved home to the states. I lived in Texas from the age of 5 to 8 and the year I was 9 we lived in California where Dad retired from the Air Force and we moved back to Texas and I've been here ever since. So since I'm almost 43, I consider my self a Texan and am very proud of it. I live in Denison, about 70 miles north of Dallas, right on the Red River about 5 miles south of the Oklahoma border.

Hi. I'm from Texas also. I was born in and have lived in San Antonio all my life. And off and on (From the summer of 1990 thru October of 2002), I used to stay in Austin for the summer programs they had at TSB and then for the program at Criss Cole.

Hello September Star! My name is Chris, and I was born and raised in Texas my entire life. I've attended several TSBVI Summer Propgrams. In which I started going to them when I was 8 and went til I turned 18.
I've also attended the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center and the Post Secondary Program (newest program that TSBVI provides now) in 2003 through 2004 when I was 19 and was 20 when I graduated from them both. They were pretty cool, except for being under blindfold. God how I hated that.
Lets see, I grew up in arlington, then moved to austin in 93, I moved back to Fort Worth in 98. so here I am. Boo boo is from texas as well she's lived here most of her life. growing up in gainsville and now living in Fort Worth. She has a house up in Dennison as well so that is kind of a small world. I didn't realize Texas Red was from there.
Hi, I'm pretty new here, so it's nice to find fellow Texans.
I've lived in Texas all my life (almost). I was born in Denver Colorado (not my fault), and I spent a year in training in Cincinatti Ohio.
I grew up in Charlotte Texas--it's near San Antonio. Attended the Texas school for the blind from age six to eighteen. Worked in San Antonio for thirty years as a computer programmer, and in Austin at Criss Cole at the Assistive Technology Unit for seven years.
So, all I can say is "GO SPURS"!
Hey, I know this is an old topic, and I know I've got nothing new to say.
I just ran across this topic and wanted to bring it up to the top of topics with new posts so some of the newer folks can see it, and may want to post to it.
Okay, done!

Hey, I live in Texas. I grew up in El Paso, have spent summers in Austin, lived in Dallas, and now live in Plano.
Hey
I also am from Texas, no surprise, haha. Anyway, I grew up in El Paso, in fact was even born there. Just recently however I made a permanent move to Austin about a year ago and I'm really loving it.
Hi. I have been living in Austin, Texas since June 8, 2007. I was born in North Carolina, moved to Florida, then moved to Cairo, Egypt for 7 and a half months, and now I am here in Austin!
I grew up an hour from the Texis border in Oklahoma, does that count?
Grew up in Michigan. not so far from Oklahoma, just a few states away {we have 50 you know}, does that count?
Another from San Antonio, here! I grew up here, lived out of state for a decade, and here I am again.
I don't know any other blind people nearby, and would be glad to find a friend or two, in the state. If any of you feel inclined, drop me a note. *smile*
Austin, San Antonio, blahblahbblah, where are all the Dallas folks!
:)
I was born in florida, lived in new york and england, and I've lived here in Austin for almost two and a half years now.
Maere, told ya you should just move to Austin.
I've been an Austinite for my whole 22 years of life and love it.
I'm a texan (at the moment, might move.)
I've lived here from the age of 2 because of legal matters, who knows where I would have ended up with my family if it wern't for texas laws. lol
Anyway,I've been to TSBVI summer programs off and on and am currently living just north of austin In roundrock.
so I think the austinite/surrounding areas people should find a time to hang out sometime, methinks.
Well I'm not from Texas but I live here I like texas it's cool. There is a lot to do.
think there is 3 or 4 from the dallas fort worth area, we got a lot of blind folks up here just amazed there isn't that many on here. Austin is the blind capital of Texas so no real surprise there.
I too am from Texas. I live in Lubbock, but I was living in Austin for about a year in 2006, and even before that I attended TSBVI for about 2 years, and have also been to Criss Cole. And wow I thought I knew everyone from Texas! Didn't realize some of the people who posted here were even from here! Interesting as that seems to be most of the zonne population lol!
Go Tesas Yall Yeee ha
I was born and raised in San Antonio, moved to Austin to attend TSB, now I'm about an hour and a half near San Antonio.
If the Austin bunch arranges a meeting, I'll be there. I think that's a great idea.

Well I was born in Andrews never lived there and lived in San antonio, Odessa, Graham, Denver City, Mineral Wells, tTyler, Bullard, and I think that might be it. HAHAHA Now I live in Nebraska and I am so ready to move beck south. So I have been a few places in Texas. Later
I was born in Texas Sheppard AFB, lived in San Antonio and went to tsbvi and got kicked out they loved me there. Now attending law school in San Antonio. I would love to find people who remember me my name is Robert Dittman although most of the crowd from tsb knew me as Robbie.

I went by Hannah at TSB, and was there from 97 to 2007...do I know any of you? hmmm.

I am from houston, lived in austin for a year here and there because I was attending Chris Col, later I moved to Raleigh NC where I am currently at now. I like austin the best in Texas.
