Texas 21

I get from the soil and spirit of Texas the feeling that I, as an individual, can accomplish whatever I want to, and, that there are no limits, that you can just keep going, just keep soaring.  I like that spirit.   - Barbara Jordan

Texas-21 is comprised of a western piece of the city of Austin and runs down the I-35 corridor to San Antonio embracing the large military base of Fort Sam Houston and then stretches west across the famed Texas Hill Country, including Gillespie and Kerr Counties
