Longhorn and Armadillo Declared Official Texas State Mammals
In Austin the Texas House advanced a resolution naming the longhorn as the official large state mammal and the armadillo as the official small state mammal. Rep. Hunter and Rep. Chisum led the measure amid questions from Rep. Staples and Rep. Corte about intelligence and an Aggie as a medium mammal. The House tentatively approved by voice vote.
