He served time in the Texas Prison System.

The Texas Prison Museum is located just off Interstate 45 North.

Interesting artifacts – from inmate arts and crafts, confiscated weapons, photographs, model of a prison unit, and the infamous electric chair, Old Sparky, can be found here. Visitors also step inside a model of a typical prison cell.

On the grounds of the museum is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Monument and Sesquicentennial Plaza, a tribute to Texans who have made the prison system one of the world’s best throughout its 150-year history.

The Huntsville Walls Unit is probably the largest international draw in the city.

The unit dates back to 1849 and housed the first Texas prisoners including such notables as Clyde Barrow, David Crosby, and John Wesley Hardin. The unit is the site of the death chamber where the State of Texas carries out every execution. It was featured in The Life of David Gale starring Kate Winslet and Kevin Spacey. Visitors can take a walking or driving tour of the site, learning about its modern controversies and its old time tales of criminal legends.

SAM HOUSTON STATE UNIVERSITY

ATHLETICS

am Houston State University Athletics is a Southland Conference powerhouse that is home to 17 D1 athletic teams and continues to grow as an athletic department.

The Bearkats have nine sporting facilities and they are pursuing renovations and the building of more facilities to enhance the student-athlete experience. SHSU Women’s Tennis is next up, getting a new tennis complex that will be built in front of Don Sanders Stadium next year. The SHSU athletic department will also be adding “Sand Volleyball” to their athletic teams and will have Sand volleyball courts built next to the new Tennis Complex.

Due to the great facilities, SHSU athletics regularly hosts events outside of their own that include little league, high school, and other college sporting events.

Sam Houston Athletics has been around since 1906 and has accumulated over 80 conference championships throughout the department.
