Items Worth Big Bucks at Garage and Yard Sales in Texas
For the most part I would call Texans thrifty. It’s not that people in Texas are cheap, it’s that they work hard for their money and don’t like to see it wasted.

I don't have kids of my own so it was surprising to hear she would already want a tattoo of some kind. While she is about to be of age to legally get a tattoo in Texas, it got me to thinking, what is the youngest someone can be to legally get a tattoo in Texas? Believe it or not, it appears there is no age mandate in Texas law.
