Well, unless you're being cute, drop the "ian" -- it's "Texans" :)

Hrm, get AC: in your hourse, in your car, for your dog, etc...

Prepare to sweat, a lot...or freeze, or both in the same day :) If you don't like Texas weather, wait a minute, it'll change.

I moved to Houston expressly to join the HPD after I finished my degree and left the service. Took the test and all that. Then they told me the pay scale. After I got done laughing I withdrew from consideration and got into the oil and gas field.

Think Austin, San Antonio or State Police. Our police chief down here is loopy. He's instituted a "no chase" policy for the department. Our new city motto is "Come to Houston, rob a bank and get away scot-free!"

Obseden beat me to the Texanian thing.

Peace.

Heheh. Well because of a slight tarnish in my past I'm going to apply at multiple agencies in hopes I get into one. I also have to get my physical fitness up to the testing standards. Then I just found out my uncorrected vision is 20/400 so... checking into lasik now. And yes I was being cute with the +ians :) I'm from florida now, I love the heat. And since it'll be my first real paying job (not $7-8/hr kind) I don't mind anything between $30-40k, especially since everythings so much less expensive there. Florida homes are like $200k, even the trashy ones.

Ellusionz,

Have you researched the Harris County Constables? Not real sure on their criteria, but I do personally know one that was accepted with a dope selling bust on his record. Small potatoes, high school kinda thing. Another option at least.

Peace.

Thanks I checked em out but you have to be certified already. Definately trying to get into one that trains you, since there is a large selection of them I don't think I'm being that picky :)
