What? Prison guards?


More likely the direct result of increased US military activity.


You may have a point there. Virtually all military folks cycle through Ft
Hood on their way overseas. During orientation someone probably points out
that by switching a soldier's state of residence to Texas, he can avoid his
original state's income tax. Two to ten percent of a meager paycheck is a
significant amount.
