Texas county tags reveal home county from license prefixes
Auto tags show home county numbers for Texas vehicles based on two letter prefixes. Eight big counties hold half the registrations, with specific series ranges for Travis, El Paso, Wichita, and others. The system groups by districts, aiding law enforcement in locating counties as plates appear in Feb and March.

Burros Roamed Fort Davis In Droves 25 35 Years Ago
Fort Davis residents recall a time 25 to 35 years ago when hundreds of burros from Mexico roamed the town and nearby areas. The animals served as pack and draft animals, scavenged through streets, yards, and garbage piles, and were then replaced by motor freighting and distillate fuel. Local anecdotes recount nightly braying, close encounters with residents, and nostalgia for the era of free-roaming donkeys once common in Fort Davis, Marfa, and Alpine.
