I've raised this in the private TB forum and will be happy to put forth a motion after the 48-hr waiting period.

I'd vote for a Texas Forum.
Plus I think the argument could be made that Texas belongs in the West Forum rather than the South Forum. Or maybe we need a Southwest Forum.
Population-wise, Texas has 6 of Top Twenty Cities. California has only 4 of the Top Twenty largest cities yet there is a separate forum for California.
Texas is a major destination for many FT'ers so I think it's long overdue for it's own forum.

I presume when you talk about 'top 20 cities' you are talking about US cities?
But with two big hubs within Texas, it does seem a bit stupid not to have a dedicated forum to discuss those two airports.

Hi there! I've been off FT since Thurs (real-life stuff) & just now checking the threads in TB.
Thanks for the update on Texas being 42% of all South threads. I would have put it under Southwest or West or just "It's Texas!", but do agree that at this point it should have its own forum, given the #s & also points made by others.
I'll support this, and think it should be a no-brainer decision. I'd second bhatnasx's motion when we get past the 48-hour point, or based on this thread, other TB members would as well.
Cheers.

Thanks to William J. Marsh and cblaisd, I have been persuaded to support the creation of a Texas forum.
[Perhaps the owners of this site could get one of the airlines with mega hubs to support it?]

BTW - TB is voting on creating a Texas forum. You can post comments in this thread or the voting thread.

I definitely support this. It is a huge state with many different metropolitan areas.
