Are there any Texas Typographers?

Greetings from Lubbock.

I want to study/research more about Texas's history/legacy. 
I was wondering if anyone has some leads.

I found the work of Brian Willson and Sibylle Hagmann. Are there any other names or specific specimens you acknowledge?

I appreciate your input.

Though as always take Devroye's info with a grain of salt. For example I'm listed there as part of the type scene in Texas, but I last lived in Texas over thirty years ago, which was two decades before I released my first typeface.

David Nalle died in 2021.

Doyald Young and I both grew up in and around Kilgore, an oil boom town in East Texas. He passed in 2011. I’m now settled on the east coast.

Pleased to meet you Gilberto! I second what Dave Crossland said; You should reach out to Roger Black.

Anyone remember this: a recent KABK grad joking about a type design meetup in West Texas? Attended by two, total? Maybe on Mastodon or Twitter? I filed it away but can’t find it now that I try to search for it.

I recommend you connect with the Monsters or Type in the DFW area - Paul Sirmon is a great guy and they have an active type design group - https://www.monstersoftype.com/

Andy Anzollitto and Jordan Bell are two that come to mind, however, neither currently reside in Texas but are Texans at heart.

Andy also takes a particular interest in Texas type history as well, hence his TXC Pearl typeface he released with CAST.

I completely forgot Jordan Bell was from Texas.
