North of Houston, I figured he’d run for the border.

Cut and Shoot is no city. It was a village, now part of Houston suburbia east of Conroe.

Around Houston, there are 10 million people looking just like this guy, illegal aliens. Seriously.

Here's Wiki on the place name:

According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was over:[6]

The design of a new steeple for the town's only church,
The issue of who should be allowed to preach there,
The conflicting land claims among church members.

Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly said he was scared and declared, "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" This statement apparently stayed in the residents' minds and was eventually adopted as the town's name.[7] "Cut and Shoot" has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[8][9]

"Cut and Shoot, Texas"

That's almost as good as "Knockemstiff, Ohio". :)

Not a place you want to be found after dark. Or even in daylight.

I assumed this creep would be in Mexico now. If this was California I am sure he would be released with no bail. In Texas, probably not.

Could have been Truth or Consequences, NM. Rough and Ready, CA. Unalaska, AK. Slaughter Beach, DE. Enigma, GA. Maybe this is where the Germans got the name for their code machine? πŸ˜†πŸ€— Sweet Lips, TN. There are others. πŸ˜†πŸ‘
