    In the Allen/Plano/McKinney area, you don't need X-band. In fact, I don't think there is any place in the Metroplex where you need it anymore. But if you get down to South Texas, or out in deep West Texas, you may well run into it being used by some counties and locals.

    Texas is a big ass place with lots of little towns and big cities. I don't think anyone can guarantee anyone of anything is that vast place.
