Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.
The Texas was built in October 1856 for the Western & Atlantic Railroad by locomotive manufacturer Danforth, Cooke and Company in Paterson, New Jersey. It was subsequently shipped from Paterson to the Port of Savannah, traveled the Georgia Rail Road & Banking Company and Macon & Western Railroad, before finally being delivered to the W&A headquarters in Atlanta that same year.
Texas Homecare was a chain of DIY stores in the United Kingdom and Ireland, that operated from 1972 until 1999.
History
Texas Homecare was established in 1972, by Manny, Sydney and Gerald Fogel, who had previously founded the high street specialist paint and wallpaper chain Home Charm. Taking their lead from America, they revolutionised the United Kingdom DIY market, with the introduction of the 'DIY shed' style outlet. Mervyn Fogel, co-founder and managing director for over 25 years, had a vision of turning the small family business into a DIY retail empire.
Texas specialised in higher volume, lower margin DIY products. The company had been adversely affected, by a recession and depressed housing market.
Acquisition
With its acquisition, Homebase hoped to hold around 10% of the total DIY market in the United Kingdom. In May 1995, it was announced that only 26 Texas stores were to close, with limited redundancies. Sainsbury's found that full conversion to the Homebase format was an investment worth making, and allowed £50million for the task.

I was thinking... you're an expert [Intro: Kevlaar 7] Yeah... Kevlaar 7, Bronze Nazareth Fucking with... yo, yo, aiyo... [Kevlaar 7:] Live from the home that birthed Al Green I bring more heat that grits in third degree seams Queens get ya pot holders, I'm brolic as novas Jehovah spoke through me, told y'all it's over In fact I crack the canyon inside ya Earth And casted my shadow on the last man standing Branded his brain, uncandidly crack/cocaine Clever ruffian, my nation equits me to shame Contained within my own concrete jungles Streets crumble, trouble, blood heat bubbles Type O fucker if I need a body double If my heart valves close like the lens on the Hubble Impossible, I play dominoes on top of live volcanoes Sit lava with a mouth of gasoline, pages Ageless flow, I'm in history pages next to James Monroe With a gat to his dome Watch the lava shot blow, recite pharaohistic poems Hieroglyphics show, yo the crypt is my home Inside I construct authentic kinetic gold Interlacing you bitches with visionary flows [Chorus: Bronze Nazareth] Aiyo live from the landfills, my thoughts they can kill Like stones and anvils, cats they close landmills Cats flows on standstill, grams, noses, sandpills Stand close to God, but how could a man build? [Bronze Nazareth:] Aiyo, live from Motown, Gun Rule, Hellbound Sell pounds to sale, vibrant rhythm and soundscape Break thoughts in place, my words sour the taste Scrolls is old gold, rivers are concrete waste Kill you where the swans meet I wouldn't do it but I'm just trying to eat Cold as my environment's heat Sat on mountains, drunk in the hills with gypsies Love South Central Cartel, it's hard to miss me Face in your history texts, reflects from slaves Specs like Ray Charles seeing from his grave He said, "Bronze, you could hear the color of clouds Or see the sound of existence like brail printed out" Pops was a soldier, M-16's hit him I've walked with the pain of a thousand suicide victims Bleed misery and hope on the same page Soak in the same rain, smoke in my ribcage [Chorus] [Girl:] This is Thought for Food, nigga Get it nigga, get it nigga, get it...
