Students of Texas discover that Texas is too vast for any biography or history. We will try to keep our famous Texans list interesting, but it will never include every Texan who deserves recognition.

As you will note, we have quite a few biographies to complete.  When we are done with our current list, we may ask for suggestions, but PLEASE hold your suggestions until we finish the list of historical figures above!
