  It would be a good idea to check pronunciation of Texas town and county names before releasing a video to the world. <br>Narrator made a lot of mistakes.

  No Texan pronounces it luck n bock. We say Luke n bock. Crouch&apos;s daughter has a place in Fredericksburg named Hondo&apos;s, after her Dad. Great music and very good food

  As to towns changing their names, in Oklahoma, you have Gene Autry. &nbsp;This town changed their name in anticipation of the actor/singer buying a ranch nearby. &nbsp;He never did.

  Ditto on pronunciation of city names. More important , the apocryphal story of Cut and Shoot is a charming substitution for Cutin’ Shoot, a diversion in a hog pen where pigs were isolated so they could be “cut”, that is, castrated and ear marked.

  He also missed &quot;Love &nbsp;Lady&quot; Texas. &nbsp;There&apos;s got to be a few stories there.

  I grew up in Tool, TX and moved across Cedar Creek Lake to Gun Barrel City after I got married and lived there for 34 years and raised my family. Yep, before it was incorporated, it only had a gas station, fruit/produce stand, and a Dairy Mart. Now it&apos;s growing like crazy. People all over the world like to make fun of the name and always think it&apos;s linked to a history of an old west shoot-out. 😂

  Most of the women in Texas are weird as hell... I come from the Midwest and we have enough weird people lol but South and East Texas is full of weird people.. Best thing i know about Texas is Bonnie Parker, well Bonnie &amp; Clyde, but I gotta say, Bonnie was a solid, straight solid and down chick... Victoria is 1.5-2 hrs. from anywhere and everything is expensive AF and wages low AF.. not cool..but Texas is alright, except the humidity, that sucks the most

  You missed Dismal Seepage! (No, that&apos;s not a real one -- wish I could recall where the joke name originated. Anyone?)
