(PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THE SITE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
This timeline is an attempt to set Houston events in perspective to what else was going on in Texas and the United States at large.
This is a work in progress. At this time, we are not so concerned with technicaly glitches as we are the accuracy of the information. Red text that is not underlined indicates subjects that need a link, or an article to be written. Underlined red text leads to a page under construction.
If you have more information that you would like to share (or find a link that does not work), please, take the time to e-mail: skip_teauxmelou@yahoo.com .

Paul Mullan is helping me tinker with the timeline on my page. I'm braking it down into decades so it won't be so unwieldy. Once I'm finished I'll transfer it over to here. Jo
