How are you defining people from Texas? With the people you listed, some only were born there, some only lived there later in life, some only went to college in Texas, some were more than above?
With that definition, it seems that more than 1 state would be able to claim a lot of these athletes.

DD is not to bright. By her logic, a country that won only one medal, but it was in basketball, would have 12 medals.

Don't have the time or inclination to refute each of your state changes but let's look at the first - Michelle Carter - went to Red Oak High School in Texas THEN to Univ Of TEXAS - I would say she is a Texan and a proud one to boot (no pun intended)!
Robert you're embarrassing yourself, per usual.

ya, but what happens when you take the texas medals out of the USA medal count. You can't double count everything.
