I was always a HUGE fan (sarcastic) of this super-70s look:

Yes, nothing fit into 1975 sweltering swampy Houston like a house that screams "look, I'm a knockoff from cool climate jolly old England!"

That's actually a fairly authentic English  . . .  council estate.

As a kid driving from SA to go to Astroworld, I always knew we were in Houston when we reached that stretch of houses in the south side of I-10 that were “Tudor” style. They were awful back then too.

Quail Valley/Missouri City chic.

The general structure of that house is atleast clean, without 15 pointless miniature gables and shit

Yeah. Not my style but one of the more tasteful examples of Tudor Revival. It’s at least symmetrical and they didn’t go too overboard with half-timbering. Windows even match. All of that style looks top heavy which does not appeal to me at all.

Yeah not a giant fan of that style in general, but that is far from the worst example.

My left nut says she pays off her legal bills by declaring/pretending to run for political office and keeping the donations for her defense fund.  You know...because Texans are fucking stupid.

 

Or pack on a few hundred pounds, charge $9.95, and pretend to know about recruiting.

Update.

https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/plano-texas-racist-attack-esmeralda-upton-collin-county-hate-crime-charges/287-99a1494f-bd6f-4cf9-81a7-295ff6ceffa4

 A North Texas woman has been convicted on hate crime charges in a racist attack on women of South Asian descent outside of a restaurant in 2022, officials announced Tuesday.

Esmeralda Upton, 59, of Plano, pleaded guilty to four state hate crime charges: Three misdemeanor assault charges and one misdemeanor charge of terroristic threat, with all four charges falling under the Texas hate crime enhancement statute, according to the Collin County District Attorney's Office.

The hate crime enhancement was added to the charges on allegations that Upton "intentionally selected the victim because of Upton's bias and prejudice against the victim's race and national origin," the district attorney's office said in a release.

Upton was sentenced to two years of community supervision probation and 40 days in the Collin County Jail. She was also fined $500 for each charge.

The incident involved four victims and happened Aug. 24, 2022, outside of a Sixty Vines restaurant in Plano.

“As Americans, we should all be able to enjoy our Constitutional liberties, free and secure from this type of racially motivated assault," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said. "Indeed, America is the only nation on earth defined more by its ideals than by race or ethnicity."

According to the arrest affidavit, the group of women told police that Upton approached them and began yelling at them to go back to India and that "Indians are ruining this country." This is when the group of women started recording Upton, the affidavit said. 

Police said the group of women told officers Upton hit them, which she admitted to and the viral video also shows. The affidavit also said Upton continued to make racially-charged comments throughout her conversation with the officer on scene. 

According to the affidavit, Upton told police she became agitated when the group called her a "white woman." Upton originally stated to police she was a "first generation" American, but later said she was "second generation." She told police that she is "Mexican-American" and "Native-American" and lives in a $1.5 million home. 

Upton admitted to police she struck one of the women because they were "videoing and saying all of this (expletive) that I wasn't doing. And that's what they do. Just like the Black people," the affidavit said.

The affidavit also said one of the three videos recorded by the group of women shows Upton saying, "I'm going to blow your (expletive) brains out" and "I swear to God I am going to shoot your (expletive)." 

According to the affidavit, after being asked for her identification, Upton asked police if they'd like to see her license to carry a firearm as well. The officer asked Upton if she was "carrying" at the time, and she said she wasn't, but stated that her firearm was in her vehicle.

Police referred to Upton in the affidavit as "very agitated and uncooperative."

Glad she was convicted.   For those outside of Texas, the most shocking part of this story is likely not that the perpetrator is a woman of color herself but that Texas actually passed hate crime legislation.  To be fair, a conviction under the hate crime statute is exceedingly rare, but it's on the books.   They're rare enough that this is a conviction the Collin County DA's office will be bragging about.
