It sucks because Texas was actually one of the first places the integrated circuit was developed. It'd been hypothesized and speculated upon prior to its invention, but my understanding is that the first effectively integrated circuit was designed by Jack Kilby and built by Texas Instruments; followed shortly by Robert Noyce in California (who made the first true integrated circuit).
