Yes thanks.... yours and SAT Lawyers advice was indeed excellent.

I have some excellent clients in Corpus.... I get a lot of comments that there is "nothing to do there"... but have to say I was very pleasantly surprised about various things about Corpus.... ^

The Koch Brothers, always targets for OmniLibs, have a big refinery there, surrounded by other petrochem and there's a sizable amount of grain shipped abroad, but all in all, it's a quiet place. Like many Texans from large families, I have relatives in Corpus, San Antonio, Houston, Austin and Dallas, etc. (plus places like Llano, Groesbeck, the Gap, Penelope and Dime Box).
