Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas—As election results were being announced, Texans were celebrating historic victories. Newscast Media received an invitation to cover the election party mixer at the Hilton on Post Oak boulevard in Houston, and one of most alluring things about such invitations is the free food and beverages. It also gave this journalist a much needed break from the recent election cycle.

 

Below are highlights of the Texas election night victory party mixer that was hosted by newly-elected Senator Ted Cruz from Houston, Texas:

"Don't Tread On Me" is a common slogan used in Texas meaning don't infringe upon my rights.  The slogan is usually represented by a coiled rattle snake on a yellow flag and is a symbol of patriotism.  The coiled rattle snake exhibits defiance to anybody who dares to tread on it.
