Yep, there is a Brinson here :) I am originally from Houston, but living in Utah (yuck) at the moment... I might be moving back to Houston soon though. I trace my part of the family back to William C. Brinson, who moved to Texas from Georgia during the late 1800's after being on the losing side of the civil war. His father was Daniel Brinson.
