I'd be excited if there were; I don't want to be the only one! I lived in Oklahoma for 4 1/2 years when I was in college, and I loved it there, but I'm also happy to be back in my home state now that I've graduated. I just wish I lived closer to the coast; I'm in north Texas, so no ocean anywhere near me. :(

*peeks in* I believe Sakurako on the old forums is from Texas... don't know if she's still active on the forums, but if she is, she should be meandering in pretty soon. You're not alone ^__^

yay i got here just in time xD lol.
I live in the Southeast Houston area Taylor. I'm pretty close to Galveston but i don't have a car yet so visiting there might be a while xD.

Awesome! Glad I'm not the only one. I have relatives in Houston but have never been. There's an oh-so-slim chance I'll be moving there next year if I get a job offer, though.

MermaidSaku
07-15-2011, 02:01 AM
Well if you do get the chance to move to houston, at least now you know a merfriend : )
I want to get a group of mermaids and mermen together after i get a tail it think it would be awesome to experience. : D

Nice to meet you! And yaay! More and more Texas mers!

Blaze
07-20-2011, 01:50 PM
Nice to meet you too! I don't really consider myself a mer yet; still trying to get myself my first tail. ;) SOON!

But you're working towards one. By my book, you're a mer.

It looks like there are a few of us in North Texas! I'm currently in Fort Worth (sorry overprotective parents of the world, I don't care if people know my first name OR my city), though I may be moving if I get a job somewhere else. I'd prefer to stay in my hometown though.

Hey Everyone...

I am joining the Texas Pod! Technically I am in Louisiana (Shreveport) but I am closer to Texas and am in Dallas often! So I feel I fit better here than in the Southern Pod where everyone is so far away! lol ;)

Taylor is a Mermaid
07-28-2011, 02:42 PM
I've been to Shreveport once on my way to New Orleans, and I've got to say I LOVE Louisiana. That state is so rich in culture and really amazing food. You're lucky to live there. :)

After we each get our tails, we should meet one day.

I agree! We should have a meet up! Would love to have one in Dallas soon; I need to get in the water again. :p

Quite a few of us live near Dallas so I'd love to have a meet up :D

08-06-2011, 01:33 AM
Man, I would love to have it at my house, but my pool is barely large enough for one mermaid, not to mention several.

MermaidSaku
08-06-2011, 02:35 AM
It would probably have to be at a hotel pool.

Mia
08-08-2011, 12:08 PM
Well, we are all in Texas, and, since it would have to be at a hotel anyways, why not Galveston? Yes, it's a bit of a trip, but I already know a lot of hotels in Galveston and some of them have niiiice pools.

MermaidSaku
08-08-2011, 12:24 PM
Your right Galveston has amazing pools i remember going there as a kid.

Taylor is a Mermaid
08-08-2011, 01:28 PM
Galveston is pretty far from me. I don't know yet whether I'd be able to make it.

MermaidSaku
08-08-2011, 02:25 PM
either way for me i would have to save up to go not to mention getting my tail

Mia
08-08-2011, 02:37 PM
We can schedule it for a time everyone could go. Or we could find another section with cool pools. I just said Galveston because, well, island. The pools are pretty much beachy, which fits a mermaid theme, and you can find some wicked shells and nautical stuff along the seawall or the strand.

08-09-2011, 02:25 PM
I found a really awesome natural swimming hole outside of Austin (so I'd still have to save up to go) called Hamilton Pool. I googled pictures of it and it is stunning; I didn't know we had anything like it in Texas. Here's a link: http://www.texasoutside.com/hamiltonpool.htm. There is an entrance fee, and we'd have to find out if they'd even allow tails, but wouldn't this be cool?

That is an awesome pool! Taylor, we should totally plan a trip to all meet out there and swim! :)

MermaidSaku

It would be so awesoem to go there. Wow!
Imagine how big of a scene it would make if mermaids showed up : O !!

Yes, and the pictures we could take there! This is definitely on the agenda for me when I get back from the WMAs.

MermaidSaku
08-11-2011, 05:16 AM
I say if we all meet it should be at a place like that.
Somewhere that either looks or is natural and mermaidy.

MermaidSaku

I have college coming up as well on the 28th i say sometime next year maybe. Because i am pretty sure i won't have my tail if it's really soon.

Okay, I've seen this done before but don't know how to do it... is there anyone here who can do one of those weird map things that, using dots, shows where in general everyone is? That would be wicked, especially with so many people!

Great to see so many nearby merfolk! The Galleria meetup sounds like a great idea.

Taylor is a Mermaid
08-21-2011, 11:51 PM
Yes, and we're also talking about doing a trip to the Dallas World Aquarium. Crazy HamantZ is in, and I'm in, and Jewel may be going too...Emmalee, Cynthia, do y'all want in?

Also were you at the WMAs Cynthia? I think we might have met!

Mermaid Jewel
08-22-2011, 11:44 PM
Should we do the meet-up at Galleria first? To get more comfortable with each other in person (and to give me time for my current performance to pass so I can get to the aquarium earlier than 4:30pm >.> rehearsals and what-not).

Taylor is a Mermaid
08-23-2011, 12:19 AM
Sure, let's do that. When?

@Jewel: Saturday afternoon is great for me. Fridays are okay, but I'm sometimes tired after getting off work.

How far is Balmorhea state park from you all? It looks like a beautiful place, and we could make a weekend camping trip out of it if anyone is comfortable enough. Or share hotel rooms nearby.

the water, deep enough for divers, and lots of fish <3

Just a reminder, you guys are still allowed to make a new coat of arms and stuff. But in the meantime I wanted there to be Facebook pages for the different pods to help expand them to mers that don't use this website.

hello all texan mers! i want to invite everyone to a hotel in Austin. i choose Austin because it is fairly central in texas and the hotel has a rate per night something from 51-170 dollars a night. im sorry i dont have the exact the price but you can look. its the Hilton Inn in Austin. they have a really cool pool and i thought that if the price is OK then maybe a group of us could go for a weekend or sonthing during summer. post back ideas, other hotels, or dates when we get closer. please keep me updated about plans!

Of course you don't post too much! You know, I've noticed that you sometimes put yourself down. I think this was your first post on here:


Hey I'm new and I was feeling a little intimidated by all of this since I just heard of it, so I decided to start a thread for new mermaids to meet the ones who have been here a little longer. Probably stupid I know, but feel free to use this to talk and especially to plan events! I would love to help!

I really hope you come out of your shell and feel a little more comfortable over time. There's no reason to put yourself down. Pretty much everyone here is really friendly and supportive.

Never have seen a real merman or mermaid in all my dives. have been reading up on tails and hope to order one next week. am also hoping to meet some of you mermaids and mermen here in texas. looks like south padre island would be a great place to meet on the beach or pool. Will head to Denver for the summer where they have some pristine reseviors for swimming. anyone wishes to give me ideas on a tail let please tell me.

I will totally let you know when I am done with it. I should be done with it soonish actually. I got my Airfix from Jacquard so I can start painting. I plan to start Friday hopefully.

Our only issue is having a place to swim. XD I have a pool but its only about 3ish feet deep.
Bandera river is pretty dirty too.
