In case you're living in Texas and thinking about how to go about getting one of these markers.
The applicant researches, writes the history, gathers maps and photos with 5 to 50 pages of documentation. This will be submitted to a county historical commission for review and approval. from there it goes to the Texas Historical Commission for review.
If they approve it, the applicant pays $1000 for the marker and the commission boils it down to a short inscription.
All 254 Texas counties (I didn't know they had that many, big state I reckon) have markers.
Travis County has the most with 470. Little Loving County has a dozen, or roughly one for every 69 residents.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
