Texas Spotlight
AustinAs the state capital and home to the University of Texas, Austin offers history and attractions that will keep almost everyone busy. In fact, this city has been called, on more than one occasion, the playground of Texas. Maybe that's because of the 300 days of sunshine and year-round pleasant temperatures it offers visitors. Blues, country, western, reggae, swing, conjunto, tejano, jazz, rock and everything in between, have made this city the self-proclaimed "Live Music Capital of the World."

If you look toward the southeast Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico, known affectionately to citizens as the "Bayou City," you will find Houston. Founded by the Allen brothers in 1836, Houston boasts an interesting and extensive history, even serving as the temporary capital of the Republic of Texas after the War of Independence from Mexico.

Think â??Big D" perfectly describes the wealth of opportunities and optimism that greets every new visitor and resident. And truth be told, that â??Big D" could easily stand for diversity.
