TEX MIDKIFF
EAST TEXAS STORYTELLER
Tex is a storyteller, writer, local historian, and a retired VP of an international security concern.
When not fishing or playing Texas Hold’em, Tex finds time to do research in early Texas history – a time when many of his kin were sons of Old Virginia and early Tejas settlers.
Baptized in the Trinity River and raised in the piney woods of East Texas, Tex is the consummate mythical male Texan. His roots are firmly planted in the sandy loam, coveted by the likes of J. Frank Dobie, John Henry Faulk, and Larry McMurtry. You might even call him the “Ditto-head Antonym,” of Molly Ivins!
A “featured columnist” for The Community Chronicle and Fencepost magazine, Tex and his wife, LaJuana, reside at Lake Fork near Yantis, Texas.
WHERE HAS TEX BEEN:
February 14, 2018 – Kiwanis Club, Quitman, Texas
Tex, extremely well done! And, it is a moving tribute to those who have gone before us. I happened to be at Arlington National Cemetary, burying my Mother next to my Dad, the Thursday that one of those murdered was laid to rest with the Honor Guard, cassion, rifle squad, and all trappings that went with the act of saying goodbye to a fallen hero. As Taps were sounded out, our thoughts and prayers went with it.
