What is largest and most populated region in Texas?

The most biggest and populated region in TX is the gulf coastal plains because the 4 major cities are there including the capital Austin.

Why did Austin want to colonize Texas?

When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at 12 million during 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories.

The primary trial court in Texas?

There are a number of trial courts in the Texas court system. The primary trial courts are District Courts, County Courts, Justice Courts, and Municipal Courts. The jurisdiction of each type of court varies from county to county.

District Courts are the courts of general jurisdiction in the Texas court system, and they may hear any civil or criminal case. Generally, District Courts hear cases beyond the jurisdiction of other courts, such as felony crimes, civil cases for large sums of money, contested probate cases, and family cases, such as divorce. Every county has at least one District Court, and some have several. Some smaller counties share District Courts.

County Courts may be of three different kinds - County Courts at Law, Constitutional County Courts, and Statutory Probate Courts. County Courts at Law hear misdemeanor criminal cases and civil cases for under $100,000. Constitutional County Courts are also known as County Commissioners' Courts, and may have limited judicial functions in counties that also have County Courts at Law. Statutory Probate Courts, in the counties where they exist, have jurisdiction over most probate matters.

Justice Courts and Municipal Courts have limited jurisdiction over minor criminal offenses and minor civil cases, depending on the county.

How does a narcissistic parent react or feel when they lose one of their children to suicide?

It depends. If, at the time of death, the child was functioning as a source of narcissistic supply to the narcissist - then the narcissist will mourn and grieve. Otherwise, he is likely to remain indifferent (though he may pretend otherwise in order to maintain his standing in society and his relationship with the other parent).

I'm kind of curious of the reverse of this question. My abuser's mother comitted suicide right after an argument with him. He seemed distant and indifferent at first, but then it hit him and he left me the day before my birthday for a while so he could drink/do drugs/date a different girl in peace. Then he came back to me and picked up the abuse. I've since left him, but I just thought the question peculiarly similar to my own situation.

Why won't your married but separated girlfriend get a divorce?

And 'she' is who, exactly? If you want to get a divorce and your wife doesn't, you still can get a divorce. Both people in a married relationship don't necessarily need to agree on a divorce. But as to why 'she' doesn't want to get one, I have no idea, sorry. I'm no mind-reader.

Can you turn right on red from second lane in Texas?

Seeing as how Texas drivers do not respect red lights any other time, yes.

But according to the law, no. You can NEVER turn left on red, even from a one-way street onto another one-way street.

Incorrect. In Texas (as in 36 other US states) a driver may turn left on red at 2 intesecting one-way streets. Fom the official Texas Driver Manual, Chapter 5, page 29:

CHAPTER 5

SIGNALS, SIGNS, AND MARKERS

TRAFFIC SIGNALS

STEADY RED LIGHT

Stop before entering the crosswalk or intersection. You may turn right unless

prohibited by law. You may also turn left if both streets are one way unless

prohibited by law. You must yield to all pedestrians and other traffic lawfully

using the intersection.

Texas Transportation code:

TRANSPORTATION CODE    CHAPTER 544. TRAFFIC SIGNS, SIGNALS, AND MARKINGS

TRANSPORTATION CODE

TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC

SUBTITLE C. RULES OF THE ROAD

CHAPTER 544. TRAFFIC SIGNS, SIGNALS, AND MARKINGS

 

Sec. 544.007.  TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNALS IN GENERAL. 

(d)  An operator of a vehicle facing only a steady red signal shall stop at a clearly marked stop line. In the absence of a stop line, the operator shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. A vehicle that is not turning shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown. After stopping, standing until the intersection may be entered safely, and yielding right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully in an adjacent crosswalk and other traffic lawfully using the intersection, the operator may:

(1)  turn right; or

(2)  turn left, if the intersecting streets are both one-way streets and a left turn is permissible.

Unfortunately, most Texans (or at least most San Antonians - even the cops) are ignorant of this law.

Can a 14-year-old girl marry a 24-year-old man in the state of Texas?

No, your parents can't give you permission to marry at 14 in Texas.

How many times can you get married in Texas?

There are not laws which stipulate how many times a person may marry, although one should be absolutely certain that any previous marriage has been legally terminated.
