Pamela--
In order to help you we must have more info. What approximate year are you talking about (1810?1940?)? What was his wife's name, or children's names, or parents' names? Where in Texas do you think he might be? When was he born? Why do you think he came to Texas? If you know he was in Chicago, why are you asking where he was before he came here?
An excellent site to learn how to write queries that will get answers is:
http://www.tedpack.org/goodpost.htmlhttp://www.tedpack.org/goodpost.html
And in conjunction with that site is a beginning genealogy site:
http://www.tedpack.org/begingen.htmlhttp://www.tedpack.org/begingen.html
The author of the site (Ted Pack) is one of the volunteers on this forum. He knows his stuff! Give us much more info and then we can try and help you.
Happy Hunting!
